Hey @samdev11 , currently there's no publicly available APIs to scrape canvases for the account, so it would not be possible at this point. My test workspaces don't have this feature, so I can't even test this. Most likely they are using the internal edge apis, implementing which is currently on on the radar.

I'll let this issue dangle until the smoke clears around those canvases.

Hi, is the canvas API still no publicly available ? We wish to use slack new canvas but also perpetuate our data easily.

Hey @softyoda , it doesn't look like it, there's nothing in this list: https://api.slack.com/methods

I think canvases are available as a subset of files: https://api.slack.com/methods/files.info ?

The nice piece would be if the canvas could be exported as ordinary markdown instead of html or whatever.
