How the REST API can be used:
Connect a Miro board to a third-party product
Enable flows that require communicating with a server backend or a database
Enable a service to exchange data programmatically using languages other than Javascript or Typescript
Certain APIs are only available on the Enterprise plan. You can access Enterprise APIs only if you have the Company Admin role. Click here for a full list of REST API capabilities:https://developers.miro.com/docs/miro-rest-api-introduction.
Miro’s SCIM API is used by SSO partners to provision, manage, and de-provision users and teams (groups). The SCIM API is available for Miro accounts on the Enterprise plan only.
The SCIM API is based on the Open standard: System for Cross-domain Identity Management 2. Miro’s SCIM implementation uses the 2.0 version of the protocol.

Fighting climate change
Miro is currently establishing it’s environmental sustainability baseline. As part of this, we are collecting all of GHG emissions across the company & conducting our materiality assessment to better understand where to focus our efforts. With input from both, we will define a robust strategy to reduce our footprint, which will guide us towards a sustainable future.
Although this work is underway, we have been proactive in defining our sustainable real estate strategy as we have selected our new buildings in Austin, Berlin & Amsterdam (covering ~70% of our total footprint), improving our operational emissions (scope 1 & 2) significantly.
We have also implemented our learning lab (workplace) strategy where ‘sustainability’ is one of our key pillars. This get’s reflected in the way we build out our spaces, focused on using highly sustainable/circular materials + using ‘circular business models’ to avoid buying furniture & integrating biophilic design in our spaces, supporting a healthy environment for our employees. This work is significantly reducing our Scope 3 emissions as well.
On top of the above, we are going to report our sustainability footprint and ambitions on platforms like Ecovadis & CDP by end of this fiscal year.Covid-19 recovery
