The way to create resources is through AgentInstanceCreateJob [1]

Usually this includes a user driven setup step (the call to configure() in the 
example code snippet) which you will want to skip.

The most common way to configure a resource without user intervention is to 
get its settings D-Bus interface and then provide the necessary data.
See [2] for an example.

A different thing that might be worth considering is some for of integration 
with "web/online accounts" (or whatever it is currently called [3].
Alex can probably get you more up-to-date information about that.

Cheers,
Kevin
