Programmatically Create New Geocaches #622

Description

Not really an issue, more a new function or feature proposal:

It is not uncommon that cache owners create hiking hiking tours with a series of caches on the tour. For instance for Christmas they would create an xmas calendar, one cache a day starting 12/1 ending 12/24 with some sort of something special. Typically those caches follow a common pattern, eg, they are named with increasing numbering:

#1 xmas calendar 2023
#2 xmas calendar 2023
....
#24 xmal calender 2023

This is just the title but think of it actually as a spreadsheet of rows and columns where you define those caches in 24 rows, column has a meaning, difficutly, terrain, short description, desription, coordinates, hints, .....

Also frequently the coordinates are programmatically generated such that they define a nice geoart on the map, all this can be done in a spreadsheet with some math.

I would like to programmatically create JSON objects from the .CSV exported spreadsheet and use an OKAPI method to create these caches, e.g. https://www.opencaching.de/okapi/services/caches/create and I would like to pass the payload as a JSON object to create geocaches one cache per request.

Of course ideally I could think of the full CRUD operations, Create, Read, Update, Delete where delete would be someting like archiving it.
