Lucid,I have setup both the Poll and HardRefresh actions for my LucidChart extension package.  Is there a way to programmatically get the documentId within a Poll or HardRefresh?Here is the documentation for DataConnectorActionContext:https://lucid.readme.io/reference/dataconnectoractioncontext-sdkThanks,Dan

I am exploring the example shapes in the sample library https://github.com/lucidsoftware/sample-lucid-extensions/tree/main/example-shape-library. I have the developer tools in lucid enabled and ran the test-shape-libraries command to run the local server. However I am seeing a lot of network errors in the console causing the example not to load. I don’t have any browser plugins enabled or add blockers. Not sure what is causing this. I’ve used Safari, Chrome and Brave and get the same result.

Hello all - I’m trying to get my development environment set up to build some desktop utilities to modify LucidChart documents. I’m attempting my first API call to the documents endpoint and getting a 403 response. Any help would be greatly appreciated - and sorry for the long post.Here’s what I’ve done so far:Created my document in LucidChart, so I am the owner of it. Grabbed the document ID from the URL (hopefully that’s the right one?) In the Lucid Developer Portal, I created an application, created the OAuth 2.0 client, generated my client ID and Client secret, and registered the Lucid Test redirect URI using my client ID.  I am using VS Code and Python, and have leveraged some of your sample code from the documentation to get the authentication and token refreshing working, storing the access token locally for use until expired. Seems to be working great so far! Since I’m building against just the console right now, I temporarily have the script launch a web browser for the OAuth

Hey all,It seems the version of mermaid that is getting used has an old bug in the mermaid renderer that causes attributes in classes to not get rendered if they’re in a namespace and there’s associations. The mermaid GitHub issue and PR here has details on simple ways to reproduce it. I’m guessing this may be due to using an older version of mermaid than when this was fixed? Seems it was fixed as of mermaid version 10.2.4.https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/4519 → namespaced classes lose members if relation statement comes after namespace includes reproducible examples https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/pull/4532 → fix(class): keep members in namespace classes https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/releases/tag/v10.2.4 → release notes with bug fix

Hi team,Can i get trial period for developer’s portal?I need to create api key of lucidchart and use it for my application.Will lucidchart api give flowcharts as output for my app?

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 = action.context.userCredential;        const config = getConfig();        const baseUrl = config.apiBase

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"    }  },  "geometry": [    {      "type": "rect"    }  ]}

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 image works just fine:{ "defs": [], "properties": [ { "name": "imageUrl", "type": "string", "default": "https://via.placeholder.com/100", "label": "Image URL" } ], "images": { "logo": { "type": "file", "source": "logo.png" } }, "g

I have completed the steps in:OAuth 2.0 client creationandClient Creationbut when I attempt to use:https://lucid.app/oauth2/clients/{my_client_id}/redirectafter registering it with my own client id, I get “page not found” Previous dev forum post here: References this docs page which is no longer working.https://developer.lucid.co/api/v1/#app-registrationIs there additional app configuration required before I can use the Lucid provided service OAuth2 redirect URI in order to begin developing my app?Please do not refer me to the API Key method as a solution, my goal is simply to use this endpoint:Update Data Source from CSV

I am following this doc for creating a token based external embed. I have:Successfully created the access token Successfully created an embed session token Failed at calling the Embed Viewer endpoint with the embed session token get a 200 response.I do not want to use the document picker component, so instead I have created a lucidchart document, generated an embedId for the document (confirmed docId is correct) by calling Create Document Embed, then use the embedId in step 2 above when creating the embed session token.  However, I keep getting 404 Not Found when calling Embed Viewer with the embed session token.  My access token has the following scopes: lucidchart.document.content.share.embed%20offline_access%20user.profile%20lucidchart.document.app.picker.share.embed Do I need to modify my document in someway so that it is embeddable? (e.g. activate the embed code via the UI or publish the doc)? Steps to reproduce Create lucidchart and do NOT publsh, activate embed, or anything else

I keep getting access forbidden error using 'https://api.lucid.co/users'However I can get a single user assuming I know the ID.Also, my key says view only. Assuming I get it to list all users how do I allow the key to delete users ?

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.Thanks 

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 that I need to add app collaborators? I am trying to build an application that resolves Lucid urls to embeds where users input a url, and are prompted to login if need by, and then API calls are made to lucid to to resolve the inputted url to an embed view, and I am wondering what the implications of the above limitations are. Is there any, or am I miss-interpreting the limitations?

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.
