Assets

The Canva Connect APIs for managing assets.

The assets endpoint lets you upload assets to a user's Canva library. You can directly upload assets from the user’s local storage system, name and tag the assets, get information about the assets, or update and delete assets using this endpoint. For more information about assets, see Canva concepts.

The assets APIs support images and videos.
