Is there a way to login and configure the bridge programmatically without sending login "username" message to the bot?

I'm trying to make a generic webhook based puppeting bridge that can control other bridges. Trying to control the facebook bridge by sending message to facebook-bridge-bot from my bridge's code and tracking login step state seems like a very unreliable choice for me.

@tulir thank you. That was really helpful. I have another question.

Do most bridges have same api for management? Or does it totally depend on how authenticatin process works on each platform e.g facebook, whatsapp, instagram etc.

All mautrix bridges have some sort of provisioning API, but it's not standard across bridges because the auth processes are too different.
