Hello, Lucid Developers Community!
 
We're excited to announce several new APIs as part of the launch of our Enterprise Shield add-on, which brings an enhanced layer of fortified security and control to an account on Lucid’s already highly secure platform.


Enterprise Shield introduces powerful APIs tailored to enhance security and compliance within your organization. Currently, Enterprise Shield offers:

  1. Document management API: Enables streamlined management of documents and folders within the Lucid ecosystem.
  2. Legal hold API: Empowers organizations to effectively manage and preserve documents during litigation.
  3. Audit logs API: Captures a diverse array of security and compliance events.

 
To get started with Enterprise Shield APIs, check out our detailed guide in the Developer Documentation.
 
For further inquiries or support regarding Enterprise Shield APIs, please reach out to your account team or post a question in the thread below!
 
Cheers!
 
Jordan, Enterprise Product Manager

Hello Jordan,

The endpoint is https://api.lucid.co/accounts/me/documents/search
Do you confirm that “me” is related to the Account owner and thus that it returns all the documents of the subscription.

Regards.

Hey Michel

I can confirm that the “me” is in regards to the account of the authenticated user, not a particular user itself. The endpoint will query documents from the entire account, not just the user who accessed the endpoint.

I’ve tried to use that even if my customer have not the enterprise shield addon

https://api.lucid.co/accounts/me/documents/search

replies Forbidden.

Using the compliance menu of the admin of my customer, some features of enterprise shield are there especially the way to export csv result of discovery.
So why the endpoint will reply Forbidden.

I will add that (IMHO) having the way for an admin using rest API to be able to get all the documents that are in his subscription is mandatory without extra cost.

Regards.

  • accounts/me/documents/search: This is a user-level endpoint. It only returns documents that you specifically have access to (ones you created or were shared with you). If you try to use it as an admin to find someone else's document, it will fail with a 403 Forbidden error because the API doesn't grant you "God Mode" just because you're an admin.
  • Search Account Documents: This is the admin-level version of that endpoint. It is the only way to programmatically search across the entire account. This endpoint is strictly exclusive to Enterprise Shield

The "Discovery" feature in the UI is meant for one-off manual audits. If you want a script to do it for you, Lucid considers that a premium "Security & Compliance" requirement and mandates the Enterprise Shield upgrade.
