This answer has a script which does something very similar: It creates the AP interface and shows how to bring it up and down. Bringing an existing interface up and down should be as easy asip link set INTERFACE up/down.

Based on @PRATAP's answer:
nmcli connection up <SSID>
Where <SSID> is likely Hotspot (can check this by running nm-connection-editor or going to Settings > Wi-Fi > (settings icon) > Connect to Hidden Wi-Fi Network... > Connection).
nmcli connection up/down also works for normal (non-hotspot) networks.
