How to Use Shape Library with Import API

Hello! I want to use JSON to generate blocks that are provided through third party shape libraries. I am currently using standard JSON import and the REST API to generate the documents, but I am unsure of how to specifically use shapes from other shape libraries. To be specific, I am trying to use the Azure cloud shape libraries.

Hello Friendly Backend Dev,

 

Unfortunately, the standard import currently does not support any shape that isn’t explicitly documented at https://developer.lucid.co/docs/overview-si. We hope to expand its functionality both with more explicitly supported shapes and perhaps even third party shapes. However, this work is not currently on the road-map.
