No public REST API. The only programmatic surface is outbound webhooks, gated to the Enterprise plan and provisioned by emailing sales. Everything else is publisher plugins (Sketch, Figma, XD) and first-party apps for Jira, Slack, and Teams; inbound automation is not supported.

SCORECARD

ExistenceFAILNo REST or GraphQL API; the sole programmatic surface is outbound webhooks on screen-publish events.
AccessFAILWebhooks are Enterprise-plan only and provisioned by emailing sales; there is no API key self-service.
CoveragePOOROnly outbound webhooks reach external systems; no inbound automation, project creation, user invites, or asset export is possible.
AuthFAILNo API auth exists; provisioning is a manual sales arrangement, and SAML SSO covers only the web app.
Docs & DXFAILNo OpenAPI spec, developer portal, or SDKs; documentation is a single help article on webhook setup.
