PlayCanvas is an open-source WebGL/WebGPU 3D engine and cloud platform for building games, product configurators, and interactive 3D experiences that run in any web browser. It offers a browser-based collaborative Editor, a standalone engine on npm/CDN, React components, and Web Components, plus the SuperSplat toolchain for Gaussian-splat capture and publishing. PlayCanvas exposes a REST API (beta) for automating the platform — managing project assets, version-control branches and checkpoints, listing scenes, exporting projects, downloading self-hostable apps, polling asynchronous jobs, and publishing splats — authenticated with Bearer access tokens over HTTPS.
