Padlet

Padlet is a collaborative visual platform of boards and canvases ("padlets") used across education and creative work to collect, organize, and share posts, images, links, and files. Its public REST API (api.padlet.dev, JSON:API) lets paying users read boards with their sections, posts, comments, and reactions, create posts, comments, and reactions, generate AI recipe boards, and read user and organization data — authenticated with an x-api-key header. Padlet also runs an official OAuth-protected MCP server at mcp.padlet.com for agent access.

Padlet publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including AI Recipe Boards API, Boards API, Comments API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Collaboration, Education, Visual Collaboration, Content, and Boards.

Padlet’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, signup flow, and 21 more developer resources.
