Does this help improve API response times?

Absolutely. It identifies synchronous polling patterns that block requests and recommends asynchronous job-ID based polling to keep your application responsive.

How does this skill help with Canva OAuth issues?

It provides correct implementation patterns for server-side token exchange and ensures refresh tokens are not reused, which is a common cause of authentication failures in Canva's OAuth flow.

Can it detect Enterprise-only feature requirements?

Yes, it specifically flags API calls like 'autofill' that require a Canva Enterprise subscription, advising developers to check user capabilities first to avoid 403 errors.

What kind of Canva API errors does this skill detect?

It identifies 10 major pitfalls, including improper token expiry handling, rate limiting issues, insecure client-side OAuth, and incorrect webhook validation.
