Integration guides

These guides show how to build working integrations on the MultiTaction Canvus REST API. Each one combines calls from the API reference into a pattern you can adapt. The examples use curl and Python with the requests library, and assume your Canvus Server is reachable at https://canvus.example.com.

Start here

• Authentication and service accounts. Create an access token and give an integration its own account with only the canvas permissions it needs.
• Streaming and change tracking. Follow changes on a canvas in real time with ?subscribe, keep a local copy in step and reconnect safely.
• Limits and operations. Request deadlines, throttling, pagination, certificates and health checks.

Patterns

• Integrating on-premises AI. Connect the AI model your organisation already runs to Canvus, inside your own network.
• Automation and bots. Provision canvases from templates, sync users and groups, update status boards and export the audit log.
• Digital signage and content push. Push images, videos, web pages and live data to wall displays and control what each display shows.
• Content export and backup. Export canvas content for archiving or portability. Full server backup stays on the server command line.
