Credentials

This node uses OAuth2 authentication. You need to:

1. Create an app in the Canva Developer Portal

2. Configure OAuth2 with the following scopes:

   • design:content:read
   • design:content:write
   • design:meta:read
   • asset:read
   • asset:write
   • folder:read
   • folder:write
   • brandtemplate:meta:read
   • brandtemplate:content:read
   • comment:read
   • comment:write
   • profile:read

3. Set your redirect URI to: https://your-n8n-instance.com/rest/oauth2-credential/callback

PKCE é obrigatório. A Canva Connect API exige PKCE (code_challenge / code_challenge_method=S256) no endpoint de autorização. A credencial declara grantType: 'pkce', que é o que faz o n8n gerar o code_verifier/code_challenge. Se você atualizou o node a partir de uma versão anterior, recrie a credencial (ou reabra e salve novamente): o grantType fica gravado nos dados da credencial e credenciais antigas continuarão usando authorizationCode, gerando uma URL de autorização sem PKCE.
