This is actually what onshape is, under the covers.

The GUI is really just using their scripting primitives, etc. You can access it the same as they can, actually.

Onshape is just a GUI over the Parasolid geometric modeling kernel, the same kernel used by Solidworks [1]. Whatever their scripting primitives are, they're at best a thin wrapper over Parasolid (which is true for the entire industry - it's all Siemens Parasolid and Dassault ACIS).
