Copy Your Font ID Directly from the Creative Hub!

Hi there,

A small but mighty improvement for all API users out there. We've made it significantly easier to find and use the right font ID when customizing layers through the API.


The Problem We Solved

When generating visuals via the API, you can override the font of any text layer by passing a font ID in your request. Simple in theory but finding the right ID was anything but. Your only option was to call a dedicated API endpoint to retrieve the full list of fonts on your workspace, then dig through the results to find the one you needed.

No way to do this directly from the platform.


What's New?

You can now copy the ID of any custom font directly from the Creative Hub with a single click. No more API calls just to find a font reference.


How It Works

  1. Head to the Creative Hub and navigate to Manage Fonts.
  2. Open the font family you need.
  3. Click the "Copy Font ID" button at the top of the page.
  4. Paste it directly into your API request — done.

Good to Know

  • This works for custom fonts you've uploaded to your Creative Hub only.
  • For native fonts (Google Fonts included in the platform by default), you'll still need to retrieve the full font list via the GET /fonts endpoint.

A small click that saves a lot of back-and-forth!
