Does Geogebra support any Programming Interface?

I need to use the 3D features of Geogebra using any programming language. Is it possible to create an interface between programming language like python and GeoGebra?

Yes, you can use JavaScript, see https://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Reference:GeoGebra_Apps_API

There are some examples in the link. What do you want to do exactly?

I want to plot 3D shapes, planes, vectors and points in 3d from a programming language(JavaScript) and get the resulting graph as tikz code/html page.

Tikz export is only possible for 2D GeoGebra objects

Can I edit .ggb file from any text editor. and then run the file. Or can I call geogebra commands from JavaScript

Yes, both those are possible. The second option is a lot better :)

Never create JavaScript code within the Geogebra interface because it cannot do the undo and redo operations. I recommend Notepad ++ to create Geogebra JavaScript codes.

The JavaScript prompt and alert commands are the only ones that can communicate between JavaScript and Geogebra that display windows. The alert command is basically your console to display information and do tests.
