# Canva Skill

Create, export, and manage Canva designs via the Connect API.

## When to Use

- "Create an Instagram post about [topic]"
- "Export my Canva design as PNG"
- "List my recent designs"
- "Create a carousel from these points"
- "Upload this image to Canva"

## Prerequisites

1. **Create a Canva Integration:**
   - Go to https://www.canva.com/developers/
   - Create a new integration
   - Get your Client ID and Client Secret

2. **Set Environment Variables:**
   ```bash
   export CANVA_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
   export CANVA_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"
   ```

3. **Authenticate (first time):**
   Run the auth flow to get access tokens (stored in `~/.canva/tokens.json`)

## API Base URL

```
https://api.canva.com/rest/v1
```

## Authentication

Canva uses OAuth 2.0. The skill handles token refresh automatically.

```bash
# Get access token (stored in ~/.canva/tokens.json)
ACCESS_TOKEN=$(cat ~/.canva/tokens.json | jq -r '.access_token')
```

## Core Operations

### List Designs

```bash
curl -s "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/designs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq .
```

### Get Design Details

```bash
curl -s "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/designs/{designId}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq .
```

### Create Design from Template

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/autofills" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "brand_template_id": "TEMPLATE_ID",
    "data": {
      "title": {"type": "text", "text": "Your Title"},
      "body": {"type": "text", "text": "Your body text"}
    }
  }'
```
