get-create-design-async-job

Check the status of a design generation job and get the finished design.

Use get-create-design-async-job to poll a job started by create-design.

Example prompt

"Is my presentation ready yet?"

Pass the job_id and the continuation_token from the most recent create-design or get-create-design-async-job response.

Example response

IDs, URLs, and tokens below are placeholders; field names and structure are exactly as returned.

{
"job_id": "job_EXAMPLE",
"status": "completed",
"design": {
"id": "DAF_EXAMPLE",
"url": "https://www.canva.com/d/EXAMPLE",
"edit_url": "https://www.canva.com/d/EXAMPLE",
"print": { "is_printable": true, "print_url": "https://www.canva.com/print/EXAMPLE" }
}
}
JSON

A status of completed returns the design with its id and edit link. Give the user the link.

While the job runs, the status is in_progress and the response contains a new continuation_token and a polling_policy. Wait for polling_policy.wait_seconds, then poll again with the same job_id and the new token. Polling sooner returns a status of polled_too_early. If the job fails, the status is failed and the response contains a failure with a code and message.

If design.print.is_printable is true, the user can also order the design as a physical print using print_url.
