Can Azure Application Insights be used as APM via rest API?

Application insights can used to monitor custom application events (such as calls, exceptions, durations etc). The documentation gives SDKs for .net, and an agent for java. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/platforms
We are using java, but its hosting by Adobe (its their cloud CMS called AEM), so we cant run or install any agent. We can include java libraries, and cam make rest calls going out.
The question is, does AI have any sort of rest API to get application monitoring data into AI? Azure as a whole has one (e.g. for querying resource groups) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/
NOTE: this is not to query AI data, there is a specific API for that, we need an API to write the event and telemetry data into it.

As far as I know, Application insights agent is mandatory to collect the data from any web applications . If you insist on collecting data using Application Insights SDK , here is a document which you can check it out. However, kindly note the method articulated in the document is no longer supported and also for deeper insights you have to install the java agent.
I also would recommend you to navigate here and share your feedback or suggestions directly with the responsible Azure feature team and clicking the vote button of your suggestion to raise visibility and priority on it.
