+3I try to use the import feature via API : https://lucid.readme.io/reference/createorcopyorimportdocument
But I received this error message: {
"code": "operationRestricted",
"message": "You are restricted from performing this operation at this time",
"requestId": "c8ff1705c3bf7bb8",
"details": {
"reason": "Unable to create document from the provided template ID"
}
}

Actually, immediately after sending that I found a working solution. Ran from the same folder as the “example.drawio” file:
#!python
import requests
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from os import getenv
import os
def send_lucid_import_request(filename: str):
print("Sending request to create Lucid document...")
url = "https://api.lucid.app/documents"
headers = {
"Authorization": f'Bearer {getenv("LUCID_API_KEY")}',
"Lucid-Api-Version": f"{1}",
}
files = {
"file": (
os.path.basename(filename),
open(filename, "rb"),
"x-application/vnd.lucid.drawio",
),
}
data = {"title": "lucid drawio import example", "product": "Lucidchart"}
try:
response = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data=data, files=files)
print(response.headers) # prints the entire header as a dictionary
response.raise_for_status()
return response.json()
except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as err:
print(f"-- Failure: Lucid create document request failed. Error: '{err}'")
return None
# Execution starts here
load_dotenv()
response_json = send_lucid_import_request("example.drawio")
if response_json is not None:
print(f"-- Success! Access the Lucid document at: {response_json['editUrl']}")

+4Thank you Inguyenduc,
In the logs, I see the following error: `Failed to find a document account: 3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6`. I am investigating further what is causing this error, but does the document mean anything to you? Can you try accessing the document with that ID and see if you have access.
+3I'm just trying to simply import a drawio file from my local workstation to LucidChart using the script. It works if I do it manually but not with the script. I just attached the drawio file.
+4Any request to the Lucid Public API includes a `requestId` or `flowId` in the response headers. For the original post, that value is `c8ff1705c3bf7bb8`.
For that request, the request didn’t have the correct format such that file type was read correctly. It erroneously believed that the request was a basic “create document”. Given how odd our “import document” request requirements are, this is not unusual. If the request was made via our documentation, I don’t think it supported at all. We hope to provide an alternative easier to use version in the future.
For subsequent requests made via python, can you capture the `x-lucid-flow-id` header from the response and provide it? I am currently testing the draw.io import via API as well.
