Is there a way to import a dynamic lighting boundary layer into Roll20?

I've been creating maps for my players using Procreate, but have recently decided to try and incorporate dynamic lighting onto these maps as well.  I have some cave-type maps for which using the polygon tool to create the lighting boundary layer would be a real challenge, however it would be really simple to create the boundary layer in Procreate.  Is there a way to import a dynamic lighting boundary layer into Roll20? Thanks!
This would require a pro account and the API. There are a couple of scripts that can do this one is walls  and the is universal vtt importer . The idea is you make SVG (in the case walls) file and use a third party converter have it approximate line corridantes and put those into the api script with your map selected. It then draws the lines for you. I have used the wall script it works very well but with any photoship or graphics editing software there can be a bit of a learning curve.
Bummer, I was hoping that there might be a simple way to upload an image of a boundary line and send that to the lighting layer to use as the boundary line instead of trying to draw it with the polygon tool! Oh well ... If I use R20 on my iPad I can draw the boundaries with my Apple Pencil, still cumbersome, but that way I don’t need to call the API. Thanks!
