We are developing a plugin which is exposing data to our iPad application.  
We already have APIs for Get dashboard list , get visualization list, get visualization by id and etc.  
We need to find a way to expose "Canvas list".  
Could you please give us some hints how to achieve that task?

Hi @tsvet,

If you are wanting to list out your available Canvas Workpads you can use the [Saved Objects API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/saved-objects-api.html).

The following GET request should list out your workpads:  
`{kibana url}/api/saved_objects/_find?type=canvas-workpad`
