Game jam API to fetch basic jam info

I'd like to have an API to fetch general jam info of a specific game jam, the same info you see when viewing the jam page. Currently, there is no such API available. I only found a thread for jam entries from 2021 where you can entries via https://itch.io/jam/JAMID/entries.json. That's fine tho, but I'd like to fetch the general jam data. For context, I want to make a discord bot for my community that announces jams, like when a jam is about to start, when it's currently in progress, etc. I also want the users to be able to get jam infos via a user command. I'd cache this info of course.

Is any such API planned or are there any workarounds for now, so I could proceed with the bot?

Kind regards
