Send the key in the `X-API-KEY` header and pick the regional host first, because requests and output are processed and stored in that region\n2. Call `GET /v2/list-templates` with `with_layer_info=1` before `POST /v2/create-image`, so the `name` values in `overrides` match the template's elements\n3. Set `meta` to your own reference on each generation and check `GET /v2/list-objects` before retrying, since there is no idempotency key\n4. Set `expiration` in minutes (1 to 10080) or `export_type=file` for sensitive output. By default the download URL does not expire\n5. For `async=1` you must pass `webhook_url`. The callback is a GET with the result in the query string, retried three times\n6. On HTTP 429 pause and retry on your own schedule. The docs give no `Retry-After` header or backoff interval\n\n### Canva REST APIs + MCP\n\n1. Call the user capabilities endpoint before autofill, brand templates or resize, which need Pro or above\n2. Poll export, upload and autofill jobs with exponential backoff and download results within 24 hours\n3. Commit an MCP editing transaction after perform-editing-operations, or the changes don't land\n4. Expect license_required on export when a design holds premium elements\n5. Read `page_number`, not the deprecated `index`, from Get design pages\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, APITemplate.io or Canva REST APIs + MCP?\n\nCanva REST APIs + MCP scores 64.3 (B) on agent readiness against APITemplate.io's 46.6 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do APITemplate.io and Canva REST APIs + MCP need an API key?\n\nAPITemplate.io needs an API key. Canva REST APIs + MCP uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call APITemplate.io and Canva REST APIs + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. APITemplate.io has a hosted endpoint at https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2 and Canva REST APIs + MCP at https://api.canva.com/rest/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apitemplate-io-vs-canva.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apitemplate-io-vs-canva.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"apitemplate-io\", \"b\": \"canva\"}`.
