Canva Rate Limits

Overview

The Canva Connect API enforces per-user, per-endpoint rate limits. Each endpoint has different thresholds. A 429 response means you must wait before retrying.

Canva Connect API Rate Limits

Endpoint	Method	Limit
/v1/users/me	GET	10 req/min
/v1/users/me/profile	GET	10 req/min
/v1/designs	GET	100 req/min
/v1/designs	POST	20 req/min
/v1/designs/{id}	GET	100 req/min
/v1/exports	POST	75 req/5min, 500/24hr per user
/v1/exports (integration)	POST	750 req/5min, 5000/24hr
/v1/exports (per document)	POST	75 req/5min
/v1/asset-uploads	POST	30 req/min
/v1/autofills	POST	60 req/min
/v1/folders	POST	20 req/min
/v1/brand-templates	GET	100 req/min

All limits are per user of your integration unless noted otherwise.

Exponential Backoff with Jitter

async function canvaRequestWithBackoff<T>(
  fn: () => Promise<T>,

       status = error. || error.?.;
       (status !==  && (status <  || status >= ))  error;

      
       retryAfter = error.?.?.();
