There used to be a wiki page with some examples for using the python
bindings. I don't see it anymore, but I did notice examples on git
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/tree/maint/bindings/python/example_scripts
I'm using a python script to do exactly what the OP is looking for & it
looks like there is a script in the example_scripts link to do that also.

I have repetitive task I do every day and I would like to reducey
the
number of steps to do that task.
More specifically I import stock/mutual fund and precious metal
prices
from a CSV file. Currently I go through the multi-step process the
GUI
walks you through. This is easy enough but I can be ultra lazy at
times
and would like to execute that import process using a macro if
possible.
Whilst I can't suggest a "macro" within Gnucash, I can suggest
another
way to achieve the same thing, assumimg you are happy doing a bit
of shell scripting, plain text editing, and store your GnuCash files
in
uncompressed XML format.
If you are comfortable running a script and learning a little python,
this may help you with some options
https://github.com/jpschewe/gnucash-stock-portfolio
It uses the gnucash API to write stock information.
I second the lots of backups suggestion.
