I believe I found a relevant thread. It was created back in 2018 and talks about how to create an endpoint for the game. Endpoint discussion

In order for the endpoint to be available; a program called butler has to be used. Butler is a commandline tool that communicates with itch.io. It also compatible with Github CI in order to automatically be ran as part of the build process.
