Canva Rest Rate Limits 20 Per Minute

Canva publishes a per-operation rate limit on every Canva REST API (formerly Connect API) reference page, as the sentence 'This operation is rate limited to N requests per minute for each user of your app.' 57 operations carry one, in seven tiers (10, 20, 30, 60, 100, 120, 180 per minute). Because the checker verifies quotes against one source page, the tiers are split across files sharing the same quote; this file holds the 20-per-minute tier (15 operations). Each row's quote was verified verbatim on its own `docs` page on 2026-10-20. Exhaustion returns HTTP 429 with error code `too_many_requests`; no rate-limit response headers (X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-*, Retry-After) are documented.

Canva Rest Rate Limits 20 Per Minute is the rate-limit profile for Canva on the APIs.io network — every limit transcribed verbatim from the provider’s own documentation on 2026-10-20.

It captures 15 rate-limit definitions, including Publish brand template — This operation is rate limited to 20 requests per minute for each user of your app.; Create comment — This operation is rate limited to 20 requests per minute for each user of your app.; Create reply — This operation is rate limited to 20 requests per minute for each user of your app..

Limit state is signalled in the published, x_ratelimit, ratelimit_draft_headers, and retry_after response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled and error_code.

Tagged areas include Application, Automation, Brand Management, Collaboration, and Design.
