  title: Canny REST Autopilot Posts API
  description: 'REST API for retrieving and managing Canny customer-feedback resources:

    boards, categories, changelog entries, comments, companies, ideas, posts,

    status changes, tags, users, and votes. All requests are POST and JSON-

    bodied. Authentication is a secret API key passed in the apiKey body

    parameter (or the x-api-key header on supported endpoints).


    This specification is a best-effort, hand-authored representation of the

    publicly documented v1/v2 endpoints at https://developers.canny.io/.

    Request and response payloads are intentionally generic where the public

    docs do not enumerate the full property schema.
