How to create canvas using models?

block1 = SectionBlock(text="foo")
block2 = SectionBlock(text="bar")

canvas_blocks=View(blocks=[block1, block2], type="modal").to_dict() 

slack_client.canvases_create(title="debug", document_content=canvas_blocks)

I understand that View is not related to canvases, but it creates the required structure except for the type. How should the structure be correctly created from blocks, and how should the blocks[...] structure itself be passed if View is not used?

Currently, I am getting the following error:

'response_metadata': {'messages': ['[ERROR] failed to match exactly one allowed schema [json-pointer:/document_content]']}

This error does not provide specific information about what exactly is wrong.

Hi @primko, thanks for asking the question!

Unfortunately, the public APIs do not support view objects and its block kit components for building a canvas document content as of today. Instead, you can pass a standard markdown text data like this e2e test code does: https://github.com/slackapi/python-slack-sdk/blob/main/integration_tests/web/test_canvases.py

I hope this was helpful to you.
