Plex Media Scanner --add-section does not have a type for photos

I’m configuring a docker container for Plex so I can keep as much of my config as possible in code. I’m looking at “Plex Media Scanner” to create my sections. I don’t see a --type option for photos. Can this be added? Or better yet, is there REST services I could use? I look in the docs and only saw REST for getting information, not adding sections, etc. I’m thinking the REST interface might provide more options.

Thanks.
