I highly encourage you to check out speedata publisher [1] by the berlin-based developer Patrick Gundlach.
He is a well known figure in the TeX community and has created a (open-source [2]/self-hostable) document creation solution on top of LuaTeX.
You can simply run that from the command-line and integrate it in your workflow but it also comes with a server integration that provides you with a REST API.
Admittedly there is some kind of learning curve (even for LaTeX literate people as he is using an XML/HTML abstraction layer on top of it) - but that also keeps it interesting for users who have never played mich with any TeX-language prior to that date.
