I'm working on an LucidChart extension that needs to fetch CSV data from a web API endpoint and create a TableBlock with that data on a PageProxy. The approach I took was:1. Fetch CSV data using my Api Service2. Return this CSV data through a DataConnectorAction3. Use the returned data to populate a TableBlockHere's my data connector action code:```typescript// actions/getActivityUtilizationAction.tsimport { DataConnectorAsynchronousAction } from 'lucid-extension-sdk';import { createLucidApiService } from '@quodsi/shared';import { getConfig } from '../config';export const getActivityUtilizationAction: (action: DataConnectorAsynchronousAction) => Promise<{ status: number } & { text: string }> = async (    action,) => {    try {        const data = action.data as { documentId: string, userId: string };        const { documentId, userId } = data;        const authToken =

I’m just learning how to use the developer portal for the primary purpose of creating my own shapes that connect to data sources.   I’m most interested in creating variations of the Org Chart, Salesforce Cards, and Sales Account Map cards.  Is there any way to download or get ahold of the Jason files for each of the above?   Being able to see the code of how these were constructed would be greatly beneficial.   If this isn’t possible, does someone have an idea from a Jason code standpoint as to how they accomplished them?   Ultimately what I really want is to display images on shapes from database urls.  This would give me a tremendous amount of flexibility.I’d also like to figure out how to apply formatting from database values.  This way I could have formula based columns in Google sheets that automatically gives me the formatting I want, instead of having to create endless conditional formatting rules.

My goal is to create custom shapes for a storyboard that will export to a csv file for further manipulation. I have not found out-of -the-box shapes that will export image data, so I’m trying to create a custom shape that will.I also need the images to be visible in shapes within lucidchart ,and easily input from files not urls.My attempts with the following code have failed to show images in a shape at instantiation and with data input.Is it possible to reach my goal? If so, what can be altered in this to make it work?{  "properties": [    {      "name": "ImageName",      "default": "clockwise-one-arrow.png",      "label": "Image name",      "type": "file"    }  ],  "images": {    "logo": {      "type": "file",      "path": "{{=@ImageName}}"    }  },  "style": {    "fill": {      "type": "image",      "ref": "logo"    }  }

Hello,This function line.getDownstreamConnection() doesn’t follow line arrow state when a line arrow direction get changed by “swap line ending” or change line arrow style. As far as I understand it (according to this article and screenshot attached below as well), the first and second endpoints are in context of the arrow direction is that true? otherwise, how to get the arrow direction of a line(that applies to multi-directional lines as well)?

I’m trying to create an ellipse that can be filled with an image url from a data source.   I can’t seem to figure out how to do this for the life of me.  Any help would be appreciated.  Here’s what I’ve got so far:Data Source Image (attempt):{ "defs": [], "properties": [ { "name": "imageUrl", "type": "string", "default": "https://via.placeholder.com/100", "label": "Image URL" } ], "images": { "logo": { "type": "url", "source": "{{=@imageUrl}}" } }, "geometry": [ { "type": "ellipse" } ], "style": { "fill": { "type": "image", "ref": "logo", "mode": "stretch" }, }}Is {{=@imageUrl}} wrong? Switching the type and source out for a local im

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.

Hi everyone! Greetings to the community. I've recently started using the Lucidchart API to perform various operations like OAuth authentication, document retrieval, and even running some tests to upload templates via the API.During this process, I've been wondering if there's a place where I can find the OAS (OpenAPI Specification) for Lucidchart's API. While the portal does list all the operations, I’d like to have them consolidated into a single contract. This would help me automate the creation and validation of certain fields, making the process much easier.If anyone knows where I can find the OAS, YAML, Swagger, or however it's referred to haha, please share! I couldn't easily locate it on the support page.Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Community,We are testing the Lucidchart SCIM API for "Get All Users," but we are not receiving the urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:lucid:1.0:User field as mentioned in the API reference documentation: Get User API. The API response format we are seeing differs from what is documented.Additionally, we would like to understand more about the schema referenced in the documentation. Could you provide clarification on what the schema represents and its significance in the response?

Hi there, I have a question  -  as a last resort.I am trying to build a proof of concept for mapping our data center with Lucid diagrams. Our corporation already uses these diagrams, they are done manually and they are always behind. We’d like to have them updated dynamically.I played with Lucidchart API in Postman, just to see how versatile and quick such endeavor would be. I was able to create and get a document but not more than that.I spent multiple hours in the docs today but I was not able to put a single square on an empty diagram, via a post/patch request. I could not find any examples that were helpful to my case.Is there a direct way to handle these requests without working with an SDK / front-end? Would like to stick to Python. The final goal is to have data flowing in a CI/CD pipeline and update our diagrams automatically. First… i need to put a least a box in a document. Please let me know if my approach is futile.

HelloDo we have any APIs related to Audit logs in Lucidchart?Or any other other API which gives user activity related information, like create chart, update chart, any API which gives any event activity done by a user?

is there a good example of creating shapes and lines using API ? I am trying to create a diagram via code I am able to create a blank document and view the content of already created diagram via  https://api.lucid.co/documents/:id/contents   

Hi team,I am building a application where it takes lucidchart ID as input and in the backend I will fetch the lucidchart in JSON format using document contents endpoint and does some validations like every shape should have some text, whole lucidchart should be connected. If any of the validations are not met, I want to show those on the UI. I am thinking it would be great if we can embed lucidchart and highlight the nodes where the validations are not met. Is there anyway I can do this ?If not, do you suggest any other best alternative ?

I am adding functions to custom data definitions to list the contents of a swimlane.  If there are more than 20 objects in the lane, the array that is returned shows ellipses at the end for each item over 20.  Even if I do something simple like=ARRAY(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23)the result is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, ...]How can I get the 21,22, 23 etc. to show up?  Is this limit hard coded?

I have created an oauth2 app for the purposes of obtaining clientId and clientSecret to be used when calling Lucid API’s. I am the only collaborator currently and the app is not published. I am trying to understand this documentation on oauth2 limitations. Specifically:  If the app is not published, only specified app collaborators can use the app with your client ID and secret. If you would like to develop an app that all Lucid users can use, refer to this publishing documentation. Does I need to publish an app on the marketplace for others besides me to use the clientId and secret, or th

Hi,I can export png/jpg images using the ‘accept’ header and calling the documents API.  Is there a way to get an SVG version of a page?  The documentation does not mention it as being supported. Also, is there an easy way to access a documents metadata without getting all of the documents contents.  I’d like to get the document meta, and the meta for each of the pages it contains, primarily page title.  I can get this by calling /documents/{id}/contents but the response includes everything in the document and is much more than I really need. Thanks,Gary

We are trying to integrate with another DevOps instance. Can you have more than one DevOps integration? Ideally we would want different Lucid Teams to have a separate DevOps instance.

Hi,I’m easily able to return the value of a string in an array by it’s index position with the FIND function.e.g. if array = [“hello”,”World”]FIND(array,1) = “hello” However, i’m struggling to understand how to do the inverse - finding the index position of a string in an array by the value of the string:e.g. if array = [“hello”,”World”]‘STRINGFIND’(array,”hello”) = 1I’m sure this is quite simple and I’m just missing the correct function.Thanks!

Dear all,I want to create a program in C# that will take a json file as input and it will convert it into  flow diagram in lucidchart. From what I have read, I will need to obtain an API token for my lucid-chart Pro account. But there is no option for API in my account.  Under my plan it says the following “ Currently on a legacy plan. Modifying your plan will forfeit your legacy pricing“I am completely new to using an API token  , so the first question is how do I get an API token?

Hi Lucidchart developer community,I would like to know how I can extract with API the relationship between these two shapes, ie: The API call:       curl -k --request GET \            --url https://api.lucid.co/documents/34f5d3b8-560f-4657-a170-214418d1126c/contents \            --header 'Lucid-Api-Version: 1' \            --header 'accept: application/json' \            --header 'authorization: Bearer key-<the_token>' \ The result (does not reflect inclusion relationship):{  "id": "34f5d3b8-560f-4657-a170-214418d1126c",  "title": "simple",  "product": "lucidchart",

Hello,I have a created a shape library where each shape in my library has a custom property “q_data” where the value of “q_data” is some json.  What I want to do is dynamically set the value of “q_data” upon drop of the shape on the page.  Is this possible?Thanks,Dan
