Whiteboards
To add a new empty whiteboard file, you need to execute a POST request against the /libraries/:id/whiteboards endpoint.
Two fields are available in the JSON body of the POST request:
name - the name of the whiteboard. Required.
parent_id - the id of the parent folder. Omit this field if the whiteboard file is attached to the root of the library and not to a parent folder.
In the response you will find the unique id which identifies the file.
