Yes, this should be doable.

When you click the "Create Project" button, CDash sends a POST request
to /api/v1/project.php. An example of the JSON payload for this request is
attached.

In order to use this API endpoint you'll need to provide a bearer API token
from a CDash user that has permission to create projects. You can create
such a token on user.php after logging in. Include it in the header of your
request like so:

"Authorization: Bearer <token>"
