Hi,
I understand there is are many options to manage App Store Connect programmatically using the API.
But it seems that In-App Purchases cannot be created or maintained using the API.
I have an app with about 30 IAPs that soon will expand to 1000+ IAPs due to multiple translations of contents.
Any solution?
You can use iTMS Transporter.
There is a video from WWDC 2013 (session 306). I think there is also a video from 2012.

https://help.apple.com/asc/appsspec/en.lproj/static.html (note this has not yet been updated to remove the "hosted content" feature, which is going away at the end of this month).
Note that a limit of 1000 IAPs applies in some situations; it is simpler to keep below that. If you must have more than 1000 you will need to do some operations in batches.
Beware, this is not the easiest thing to use!
Also beware, I think the number of people using it is probably quite small and I consider it "at risk" i.e. Apple might turn it off at any time. You're also likely to encounter bugs, e.g. the App Store Connect web interface probably isn't regularly tested with apps with >1000 IAPs.
Good luck!
I just started a gitlab project trying to cover the different use cases related to managing in-app purchases with iTMS Transporter. Maybe it's helpful: here's the link https://gitlab.com/ms152718212/manage-in-app-purchases-with-itmstransporter
But as I said, it will take me a few more days and hours to finish it.
