scribus module have getObjectAttributes() and setObjectAttributes() functons.

To learn what data they requre you can create sample document, text
frame in it, manualy set attributes on that frame,
select frame, show Scripter Console, there type command:
getObjectAttributes()
and run it. That will show you all attributes you set on selected frame.

Following script show how to use those functions.

scribus.newDocument(scribus.PAPER_A4,  (15,15,  20, 20),  scribus.PORTRAIT, 1, scribus.UNIT_POINTS,  scribus.PAGE_1, 0, 1)
txt=scribus.createText(70, 70, 200,  150)
scribus.setText('Hello World!', txt)

attr = scribus.getObjectAttributes(txt)
attr.append({
    'Name':"SourceUrl",
    'Type': "string",
    'Value': "http://example.com/data.txt",
    'Parameter': "",
    'Relationship': "none",
    'RelationshipTo': "",
    'AutoAddTo': "none"
    })
scribus.setObjectAttributes(attr, txt)
attr = scribus.getObjectAttributes(txt)

scribus.saveDocAs("objattr.sla")
