Lucidchart api token through POSTMAN

Hi All  I'm trying to generate a code via POSTMAN to generate an API token but I'm receiving a connecting error after the pop-up login page.When I'm doing it manually through the browser I'm able to get the code but I can't make it automatically.Is the code something temporary just for the first token generation or I will have to generate a new code every one or two hours?Does anyone have any experience with that and can assist here? Thanks!

Asana Integration with LucidChart

I'm considering linking / integrating our LucidChart into our Asana software. I read all your info on integration but what I don't seem to see is if this will give everyone access to change my LucidChart document. I definitely don't want to lose control of the document - we want limited access to change it - but I'd like our community within Asana to be able to access it and possibly print it. Can someone help here? Thank you Cindy

Access the API programmatically

Hello I'm looking at this page and just wanting to confirm my understanding of the following paragraph: "Authorization must happen in the browser because a user must give consent for the client to access their information. For this reason the authorization request cannot be made from Postman curl or some other HTTP client." Is there really no way to access the API programmatically? Thank you!

Generating long lasting OAUTH tokens in Lucid

Hello World! My name is Michael Bowers and I am the team lead for Lucid’s External Api team. I am extremely excited to begin building our community and work directly with you to enable Lucid to help take your vision to the next level. To do that I would like to start with our most asked question: Developers exploring our APIs often say to us “An OAuth token is required to use your endpoints and a user needs to manually authorize the creation of this token via a browser. These tokens expire every hour… is there a way to build a long-living application on your API that doesn’t require a user/manual intervention every hour?”. Good news. There is a way! With our APIs you can build an application that requires user intervention just once and can then run forever without any further user action by generating refresh tokens. This can be done by requesting the offline_access scope when obtaining the initial OAuth token. Including this scope will cause a refresh token to be provided in the Crea

Is LucidChart Scriptable?

I'd like to create a button on the master page that would take the viewer to the "last page viewed". This is an important element in building a dynamic multi-page document that can be navigated effortlessly. The "Page" action is useful to a point but it does not offer the ability to "remember" where the user "came from". Often a "destination" page may be viewed from several different starting points. It makes sense that the "starting point" could be captured as a variable and used in an action to "return to the previous page". If this is not already built into LucidChart can LucidChart be scripted using Javascript?

Dynamic attributes within an object

Is there a way to show a dynamic list of attributes within an object? For example consider the following objects described by 2 different models belonging to 2 different teams:   "Box" "Box"ID (id) ID (id)Label (string) Recipient (string)Contents (list:Contents) Address 1 (string) Address 2 (string) City (string) State (string) ZIP (int)   Is there a way to put each "Box" object on a separate layer but have the "Box" object look as follows when both layers are selected?   "Box"ID (id)Label (string)Contents (list:Contents)Recipient (string)Address 1 (string)Address 2 (string)City (string)State (string)ZIP (int)   I'm looking for a solution where each of my 2 teams only have to edit their own version (layer?) of the object and have the combined list
