Canva Connect API

The umbrella Canva Connect REST API as Canva publishes it — 59 operations across designs, assets, folders, brand templates, autofills, exports, resizes, imports, merges, comments, analytics, users, OAuth and OIDC. This entry carries Canva's own OpenAPI description, fetched verbatim from https://www.canva.dev/sources/connect/api/latest/api.yml.

        This API is currently provided as a preview. Be aware of the following:


        - There might be unannounced breaking changes.

        - Any breaking changes to preview APIs won''t produce a new [API version](https://www.canva.dev/docs/connect/versions/).

        - Public integrations that use preview APIs will not pass the review process, and can''t be made available to all Canva users.


        </Warning>


        The Keys API (`connect/keys`) is a security measure you can use to verify the authenticity

        of webhooks you receive from Canva Connect. The Keys API returns a

        [JSON Web Key (JWK)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7517#section-2), which you can use to

        decrypt the webhook signature and verify it came from Canva and not a potentially malicious

        actor. This helps to protect your systems from

        [Replay attacks](https://owasp.org/Top10/A08_2021-Software_and_Data_Integrity_Failures/).


        The keys returned by the Keys API can rotate. We recommend you cache the keys you receive

        from this API where possible, and only access this API when you receive a webhook signed

        with an unrecognized key. This allows you to verify webhooks quicker than accessing this API

        every time you receive a webhook.'
