The main thing I want is to remotely generate new bitcoin addresses. How do I do this?
you can use BTCPay API and Connecting Electrum Wallet to BTCPay Server.

Here are some topics that can help you get work done:

Using the BTCPay API for Custom Integration ---> https://docs.btcpayserver.org/CustomIntegration/
Connecting Electrum Wallet to BTCPay Server ---> https://docs.btcpayserver.org/ElectrumWallet/


Finally, you need to keep the address on a computer that did not connect to the Internet (Air gap,) or link a hardware wallet with it.

One option would be to export your master public key from your Electrum wallet, and then use one of the many bitcoin "plugins" for the various website platforms that would allow you to generate addresses from the master public key.

This means you'll be able to keep your private keys "offline" and away from the reach of hackers should the website be compromised.

If you advise what website platform you're using, people will be able to offer more detailed advice.
