Autofill API now gated to Enterprise with a limited trial for integrations under development

We’ve fixed a bug where the Autofill API was not enforcing its Enterprise-only requirement. Going forward, only Enterprise users have full access.

To support integrations under development, non-Enterprise users now receive a limited free trial. Once the trial is exhausted, they’ll need to upgrade to Canva Enterprise to continue.

To support this, successful autofill job responses now include a trial_information object:

  "trial_information": {
    "uses_remaining": 2,
    "upgrade_url": "https://www.canva.com/..."
  }

When uses_remaining reaches 0, requests will return a trial_quota_exceeded error.
We recommend surfacing the upgrade_url to the user at that point.

Enterprise users are unaffected — trial_information will not appear in their responses.

Update on this one: as of 23 September, Autofill is no longer limited to Enterprise. The Autofill APIs and the autofill-design MCP tool are now available to users on Canva Pro (including Canva Education), Canva Business, and Canva Enterprise, and the development trial quotas described above no longer apply.

Full details, including what this means for existing integrations and links to the updated docs, are in the new announcement: Autofill APIs are now available on Canva Pro and above 👑

Thanks for your patience while this was gated. If you hit anything unexpected after the change, reply on the new thread and we’ll take a look.
