Hi,One year ago I tell that:According to the documentation, “https://api.lucid.co/documents/search” endpoint gives the result:"documentId": "110808fd-4553-4316-bccf-4f25ff59a532",  "title": "document title",  "editUrl": "https://lucid.app/lucidchart/110808fd-4553-4316-bccf-4f25ff59a532/edit",  "viewUrl": "https://lucid.app/lucidchart/110808fd-4553-4316-bccf-4f25ff59a532/view",  "version": 101,  "pageCount": 5,  "canEdit": false,  "created": "2019-04-22T13:47:23Z",  "creatorId": 12345,  "lastModified": "2020-06-26T16:29:37Z",  "lastModifiedUserId": 54321,  "customAttributes": [],  "customTags": [    "in progress"  ],  "product": "lucidchart",  "status": "Complete",  "classification": "Private",  "trashed": null,  "parent": null,  "owner": {

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.

Hello, i want to create a document, creating a “Diagram as a Code” with Mermaid on Lucid through a REST API.From the Documentation, i only see that in order to create a document, i need to send the following body:{  "product": "lucidchart",  "title": "example",  "parent": 123}but how do I send the actual contents of the diagram?sequenceDiagramAlice->>John: Hello John, how are you?John-->>Alice: Great!Alice-)John: See you later!I read also that there is an alternative way of sending the information, but the documentation and examples on https://developer.lucid.co/reference/createorcopyorimportdocument are not clear to me.Thank you! 

I didn’t see an API endpoint to update an existing diagram and was wondering if one such endpoint exists.

Has anyone implemented responsive web design for the embed HTML or is the content not responsive? If implemented, then please share code.

Hi,I'm using the Lucid Standard Import API (POST /documents with .lucid format) to programmatically create architecture diagrams. I can successfully create shapes using basic types like rectangle, ellipse, and diamond, but I need to use shapes from the AWS Architecture 2021 shape library (EC2, Lambda, VPC, API Gateway, Cognito, NAT Gateway, etc.).I've tried the following approaches without success: Setting "type" to AWS-specific names ("ec2", "AWSec2", "AWS2021::Compute::EC2", etc.) → "Invalid shape type" Adding "class": "AWSComputeEC2InstanceBlock" or "customType": "AWS2021EC2Instance" on the shape object → silently ignored, renders as DefaultSquareBlock Adding "shapeLibrary", "blockType", or "templateId" properties → also ignored The only workaround I found is using "fill": { "type": "image", "url": "..." } wit

Good morning,Yesterday I was testing the https://api.lucid.co/documents endpoint to export a section of a board in PNG using crop and it worked fine.This morning, when I tried again with the same parameters, I got this error “Document 07c0b5a3-732d-4595-b572-4a9034926f29 is too large and exceeds our image size limits”.Removing items to make the document smaller worked, but the result is the whole document, not the cropped one.Am I doing something wrong?GET https://api.lucid.co/documents/07c0b5a3-732d-4595-b572-4a9034926f29?crop=10,10,10,10Accept image/png Note: the endpoint also

The cropping is adding extra whitespace to the images where there is no content and the “page” and “pageId” parameters of the request (https://api.lucid.co/documents/{id}) appears to be ignored.

I’d like to automate importing of CVS data but it appears the only API’s for that are in the legacy API which also requires OAuth 1.0? Is this correct and will there be newer API’s that are not legacy to meet this need?

Hello, Lucid Developers Community! We're excited to announce several new APIs as part of the launch of our Enterprise Shield add-on, which brings an enhanced layer of fortified security and control to an account on Lucid’s already highly secure platform.Enterprise Shield introduces powerful APIs tailored to enhance security and compliance within your organization. Currently, Enterprise Shield offers:Document management API: Enables streamlined management of documents and folders within the Lucid ecosystem. Legal hold API: Empowers organizations to effectively manage and preserve documents during litigation. Audit logs API: Captures a diverse array of security and compliance events. To get started with Enterprise Shield APIs, check out our detailed guide in the Developer Documentation. For further

Team Lucid,I am aware we can hook selection.  Is it possible to hook into the user has deleted a shape or line?Thanks,Dan

Hi Lucid community,I'm trying to build an automated sync between Lucidchart and an external employee directory (stored in Airtable). When a record changes in Airtable, the org chart in Lucidchart should update automatically and vice-versa if something is updated in Lucidchart it will update Airtable. I'm running into walls and want to know if this is even possible before going further. What I've TriedI've been using the REST API's CSV import endpoint to push org chart data into Lucidchart. This works fine for creating a new document, but any PUT request to an existing document ID returns a 404. Based on reading the docs and this forum, it seems the import endpoint only supports document creation, not updating an existing document's content.The Extension API looks like it could manipulate shapes, but it requires the document to be open in a browser — which rules it out for a headless automation.My Questions

Hello Community,  I am trying to use Lucid Cards for one of my use cases. However, the predefined status in the template doesn’t suit my needs. is there a way, I can create my own statuses for the card?

Hi Do we have a way to get the X and Y coordinate of LucidChart Elements? For now if we use OAuth 2.0 Rest API for getting the content of a document it seems that we don't have these X and Y coordinate. https://api.lucid.co/documents/:id/contents Best regards.

Is there a way for getting the document that are in my Team Hub using rest API.Regards.

Hello Lucid team,I am using the Lucid Standard Import JSON API to generate BPMN diagrams with swimlanes.The diagram imports successfully, and all shapes and connections are visible, but the swimlanes container and lanes are not rendered visually. I’m generating Lucidchart Standard Import JSON programmatically.The JSON includes a swimLanes group under pages[0].groups with vertical: false, a titleBar, and multiple lanes (each with title, width, headerFill, laneFill).Shapes are created with parent: "swimlanes_1" and everything imports without errors, but in the editor I don’t see the swimlanes visually – only the BPMN shapes.What am I missing in the JSON schema to make the swimlanes render visibly? Is there any additional property required on the swimLanes group or shapes?Below is a

Hi everyone,I’ve been experimenting with some external automation tools for android to speed up workflows in lucid, and I ran into an issue I’m hoping someone here has experience with. I was specifically looking at a tool called delta executor for android, which is supposed to automate certain tasks and interactions within apps.The problem is that when I try to use it with lucid documents or boards, some actions don’t execute consistently, sometimes triggers fail, or certain elements aren’t recognized correctly. I’m wondering if this is due to recent updates in lucid’s api, mobile app restrictions, or if it’s related to how the tool interacts with Android accessibility features.Has anyone else tried integrating external automation tools like this with lucid? Are there best practices or workarounds to make these scripts run more reliably without running into permission

When using the EndPoint Get Folder https://api.lucid.co/folders/{id}If the folder is in a Team Folder, the json response returns:  "id": 123456789,  "type": "folder",  "name": "Folder Name",  "created": "2020-06-26T16:29:37Z",  "trashed": "2022-01-20T12:14:18Z",  "attributes": [    {      "name": "Sample Label",      "value": "Sample Value"    }  ]without Parent field which could crash your logic to decode the result.If the folder is elsewhere (MyDocument, ...) the parent is returned.  "id": 123456789,  "type": "folder",  "name": "Folder Name",  "parent": 123456788,  "created": "2020-06-26T16:29:37Z",  "trashed": "2022-01-20T12:14:18Z",  "attributes": [    {      "name": "Sample Label",      "value": "Sample Value"    }

It could be interesting to have a Rest API for using the compliance feature available in the Admin panel of a Lucid Portal subscription.Regards.

Some types of the response body are wrong:fullName must be string instead of numberid must be number instead of string.Regards.
