Hi everyone,

As already said by lucidchart the direct access to the “Shared with me” is not available through Rest API endpoint.
So I have used the “https://api.lucid.co/folders/search” endpoint to retrieve the folders.
Then I have retrieved manually the parent of a folder of “Shared with me” folder for grabing the id of the “Shared with me” folder.

But when using the https://api.lucid.co/folders/{id}/contents endpoint with this id, for retrieving the content, of the “Shared with me” folder I get a 403 error despite the scope used (folder:readonly and folder:admin.readonly)
The http request is made by an admin user. Is it normal?
Best regards.
