Creating ERDs programmatically

Hi Tamara thanks for posting in the Lucidchart Community!

The ERD article describes how you can generate ERDs from your database in Lucidchart. It is unfortunately not possible to automate the creation of ERDs as described by you. 

However we're always looking for ways to improve Lucidchart and your feedback is the best way for us to do that. Would you mind adding your idea to our product feedback community space? Ideas shared here are reviewed by the product development team for consideration.

For more information on how to integrate Lucidchart with Confluence please take a look at our Confluence Cloud and Confluence Server articles depending on which type of Confluence you are using. 

For all information on our API please refer to the Lucid API documentation.  

Hello Eric Thank you for answering. Of course I shall add the idea to the product feedback page. I think it would be a very useful capability to provide.

Thanks for adding your idea, much appreciated! If anyone else is interested in this idea please feel free to upvote the original post. 

No problem at all. Will do.

Just a thought that another alternative to APIs would be providing an SDK or a headless service with the ability to execute a script.

Thanks for the additional suggestion Tamara!

Hi! Updating this thread with exciting news - we've recently launched Lucid for Developers a community space dedicated to supporting and connecting our users working with the Lucid API and our most technical features.

In this section the developers actually building Lucid’s APIs will be available to answer your most technical questions just like this one. Furthermore here we plan to announce new endpoints tools and guides to help you have the best possible experience developing on Lucid’s APIs. You can browse existing posts connect with other users with similar questions and goals and ask questions of your own by creating a new post or leaving a comment. Thank you and we're excited to hear from you!
