Fonts API launched!

Fonts API has had a few bugs fixed based on your feedback, and is now launched to GA. This means apps using Fonts API can now be submitted for review and publication!

Fonts API enables apps to add text with fonts from Canva’s fonts library. To add text with fonts, open a font selection dialog, allow the user to select a font, then add the text with the selected font.

To learn more, read our guide to creating text, API references for requestFontSelection and findFonts, and take a look at the design guidelines for how to prompt users to select a font in your app. We look forward to seeing what you build with this!

Two feature requests that we’re aware of but that aren’t available at this stage:

  1. Selection API does not yet return font information.
  2. It’s not currently possible to get direct access to Canva’s font files.

If you have other feature requests or suggestions for ways we can improve text and fonts support in our APIs please post a Feature Request topic.

Using findFonts, is it possible to get more than the first page of fonts?
