Get print partner design
This API is currently provided as a preview. Be aware of the following:
- There might be unannounced breaking changes.
- Any breaking changes to preview APIs won't produce a new API version.
- Public integrations that use preview APIs will not pass the review process, and can't be made available to all Canva users.
This API is only available to Print Partners.
Gets the metadata for a design. This includes owner information, URLs for editing and viewing, and thumbnail information.
Print partner proofing information (such as bleed and page constraints) isn't stored on Canva, so you can optionally provide it in the request. The design URLs that are returned include this information, which Canva applies in the editor when opening the design.
