# Miro API Integration on Truto



**Category:** Application Development  
**Status:** Generally available

## Unified APIs

### Unified User Directory API

- **Users** — The User object represents a User.

## How it works

1. **Link your customer's Miro account.** Use Truto's frontend SDK; we handle every OAuth and API key flow so you don't need to create the OAuth app.
2. **Authentication is automatic.** Truto refreshes tokens, stores credentials securely, and injects them into every API request.
3. **Call Truto's API to reach Miro.** The Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Miro API.
4. **Get a unified response format.** Every response uses a single shape, with cursor-based pagination and data in the `result` field.

## Use cases

- **Sync Miro board members into your SaaS user directory** — If your platform manages teams or permissions, pulling Miro users via the Unified User Directory API lets you map board collaborators to your own user model — keeping access controls and team rosters in sync without manual data entry.
- **Auto-provision Miro boards when projects kick off** — Project management and agile SaaS tools can automatically create a Miro board from a template whenever a new project, sprint, or client engagement is created, eliminating setup friction for end users who rely on visual collaboration.
- **Extract structured data from whiteboard sessions** — After a brainstorming or retrospective session, your SaaS can read sticky notes and items from specific Miro frames and convert them into structured records like tasks, feature requests, or research insights — bridging the gap between freeform ideation and actionable work.
- **Embed live Miro canvases inside your product** — Wiki tools, CRMs, and research platforms can embed fully interactive Miro boards on relevant records (accounts, projects, research studies), giving end users visual collaboration context without leaving your app.
- **Push structured data into Miro as visual diagrams** — DevOps, architecture, and analytics SaaS products can programmatically generate shapes, connectors, and app cards on a Miro board — turning database schemas, org charts, or infrastructure topologies into collaborative visual artifacts.

## What you can build

- **Board member to user directory sync** — Use Truto's Unified User Directory API to pull Miro users and map board collaborators to your platform's internal user model for consistent identity and permissions.
- **One-click retrospective-to-tickets pipeline** — Read sticky notes from a designated Miro frame after a retro session and automatically create structured action items or tickets in your platform.
- **Template-based board provisioning** — Automatically spin up a pre-configured Miro board (e.g., stakeholder map, sprint board) whenever a new project or deal is created in your SaaS.
- **App Card two-way sync** — Represent your platform's records as Miro App Cards on a board so users can visually organize work while changes flow back to your system.
- **Automated topology and diagram generation** — Push structured data from your platform into Miro as shapes and connectors to render live architecture diagrams, org charts, or process flows.
- **Embedded Miro canvas on key records** — Surface a live, interactive Miro board directly inside your product's UI on account, project, or research pages using Miro's embed capability.

## FAQs

### What auth method does Miro use?

Miro uses OAuth 2.0 for third-party integrations. Truto handles the full OAuth flow — token exchange, refresh, and secure storage — so your end users can connect their Miro accounts in a few clicks.

### Which Unified APIs does Truto support for Miro today?

Truto currently supports Miro through the Unified User Directory API, which lets you read user data. Additional tools and Unified API coverage (boards, items, frames, connectors) can be built on request based on your use case.

### Are there rate limits on the Miro API I should know about?

Yes. Miro's REST API v2 enforces rate limits that vary by plan and endpoint. Truto manages pagination and request throttling on your behalf, so you don't need to handle retry logic or backoff strategies in your own code.

### Can I get real-time updates from Miro boards?

Miro supports webhooks via board subscriptions that fire on item creation, update, and deletion events. This enables real-time sync scenarios like detecting when a card is moved between frames. Webhook support through Truto can be configured on request.

### What if I need access to Miro endpoints not yet covered by Truto?

Truto builds integrations on request. If you need support for specific Miro API resources — like board items, frames, connectors, or app cards — the Truto team can add them to your account's integration scope.

### How does Truto handle Miro's item coordinate system?

Miro's API represents board items with X/Y positions on an infinite canvas. When Truto exposes board item data, these spatial attributes are preserved so your application can reason about item placement, grouping within frames, and spatial relationships.
