  title: Moda Public API
  description: >
    Programmatic access to Moda's canvas design platform. Create designs, export
    assets, manage brand kits, and run AI design tasks.


    ## Versioning


    Pin response shapes with a calendar-dated `Moda-Version` header (e.g.
    `2026-05-01`). **The pin is global** — it applies to every endpoint in the
    request, not just the one you adopted it for, so raising it to use a new
    endpoint also moves your other responses to that version's shapes.


    ### Migrating `2026-04-12` → `2026-05-01`


    - **Tasks** move from the flat `JobResponse` (`job_id`, `canvas_url`,
    `can_export`) to the canonical `Task` envelope. The export artifact is now
    under `result.export` as `{url, format, page_count}`; update any code that
    read the export URL from the old top-level fields.

    - **Multi-page PNG/JPEG exports are delivered as a single `.zip`** of
    per-page files (`page-1.png`, …), so `result.export.format` is `zip`. For
    one bundled document instead, request `format=pdf` or `pptx`; for a single
    image, pass `page_number`.
