Is it possible to use (system -> Data transfer -> import) products csv programmatically

Question

I want to create a cron module (in Magento) to download some CSV to the import folder, and then use the (system -> Data transfer -> import) feature to add/replace products programmatically, but not using backend interface to use (system -> Data transfer -> import).

Does anyone know how to trigger (system -> Data transfer -> import) in programming or any API to do that?

remarks: Most of the creating product's solution on the internet is using hardcode e.g categories id, attribute value id, i don't want to use such solution

Currently, we are using this module to do export and import via cron. You can refer to it. Hope it can help you to solve this problem https://marketplace.magento.com/firebear-importexport.html
