I don’t get it, I just got the admin and developer roles and I still can’t see the developer portal.

I tried to see the API section in order to generate a token for integration but I can’t see it.

I went throught all this documentation https://lucid.readme.io/docs/guides-unlocking-developer-tools and I’m still stuck.

What am I missing? Thank you.

Glad to hear it’s working! If you’re able to access the developer portal, that should be an indicator that you have access to all developer tools. Depending on if you’re wanting to create an extension or hit the REST API endpoints, you can test each by following these steps:

In the case of using an API Key, this endpoint requires the User grant. 

 

 

Could you check that the API Key you created has this grant?

Ok and what should be the other grants if I want to be able to use the API 

https://api.lucidchart.com in a python script?

Documents and Folders?

Each endpoint specifies which grant is required to access it. If you’d like a single API key that is able to access any endpoint, giving it the highest level of every grant would work just fine. (Documents Edit, Folders Edit, Users View, and Accounts Edit)
