Organizational groups via API

I'm trying to create my organizational groups via API using the https://users.lucid.app/scim/v2/Groups endpoint and the urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group schema, but the creation is only related to sharing groups, how can I create organizational groups via the same method? if not API is there a solution to create them massively somehow?

🎉 Exciting Updates from the Lucid Developer Platform! 🎉

Hello Lucid Developers! 👋We’re happy to announce some exciting updates to our Developer Platform, enhancing your experience and capabilities. Private PublishingUsers can now publish apps and integrations to share directly with their teams without needing approval by Lucid or having to post publicly on the Lucid marketplace.Privately-published apps will still be downloaded via the Lucid Marketplace but will only be discoverable by those who you have made the app available to through direct invitation. Otherwise, the app will be completely invisible to all other Lucid users.For a deep dive into how to get started with Private Publishing, check out our detailed guide in our Developer Documentation. Org Chart APIs We have just released our new Org Chart API endpoint. An org chart is a data-backed shape used to visualize organizational structures.The Org Chart API will allow you to create charts much more quickly by importing them from data rather than creating them manually. Technically,

No or very slow API replies from REST API

I am the developer of an application where we want to show pages from Lucidchart documents into our application. I want to show them by exporting each page as a jpeg file into our application. I created an OAuth 2.0 client and I can get and update a token without a problem. My application is written in PHP. To add the pages our users first search for Lucid chart documents. I use the Search document endpoint for that (https://api.lucid.co/documents/search). I then display the search results where the user can pick a Lucidchart document.Then, I use the Document Contents endpoint (https://api.lucid.co/documents/:id/contents) to retrieve what pages are in the document. I then loop over these pages to export each page to a jpg image with the Export Document endpoint (https://api.lucid.co/documents/:id?pageId=xxx).The problems I have, is that many times, the API simply doesn’t answer and times out. I almost never get an error message back from the API. I do sometimes I get a curl error 0 wit

Error when refreshing token

We are getting intermittent errors when refreshing Oauth2 tokens in our Rest API integration. We are using a legacy token (Admin > App Integration > General >App Integrations > Custom OAuth apps) and the app has been working in our test environment for months. We recently deployed to production and more users are using it more regularly. The same user will get a refresh token error one moment and then when they try again it errors (see below).We did have a scheduled process that was retrieving all documents from each user and therefore hitting the API more frequently (once per user every 15 minutes), we have stopped that process temporarily to see if that helps, but would like to know if there are any other known issues which would be causing the intermittent issues. {"type":"http.ClientResponse","code":400,"headers":{"Alt-Svc":"h3=\":443\"; ma=93600","alt-svc":"h3=\":443\"; ma=93600","connection":"close","Connection":"close","Content-Length":"166","content-length":"166",

Can I set document properties when importing a document?

I use the Import Document endpoint (POST https://api.lucid.co/documents) to create Lucidchart documents. I found no option to set document properties like the page size (I wanto to set that to A3) and the orientation (I want to set that to landscape).Is that even possible?

How to create a document with data in it based on a template?

Hi, I'm looking for a way to create a Lucidchart document based on a template and add my own data to it. I managed to create a document based on a template with the POST https://api.lucid.co/documents endpoint. I cannot add my own data however, as this doesn't seem to be supported by that endpoint.Another route could be to use the Import documents endpoint but then I cannot seem to specify the template to be used.Or am I missing something here?

Standard Import - control text padding and shadows

Is there a way to configure the text padding and shape shadows? I don’t see it in the documentation. Re the text padding - my use case is attempting to align some text to a shape in a legendI have to manually update the padding after the import to get it to align to the centre in the editor I’ve tried:<p style=";font-size:8pt;margin:0px">and<p style=";font-size:8pt;padding:0px">neither work Re the shadows - that would enable my items to stand out better over a plan Thanks,

FIELDLOOKUP and LOOKUP Formulas do NOT update after data updates

While using the FIELDLOOKUP and LOOKUP functions in my document I noticed that they did not update as the associated dataset was updated. Steps to reproduce: Create a new dataset with some minimal data Create a field (variable) on the page Use the FIELDLOOKUP or LOOKUP formula in the value of that field Verify the value matches the originally uploaded data Open the data panel and make a manual edit to the data in that dataset The value of the field does NOT change (it still reflects the value that was originally uploaded) - this seems to be a bug as it is not the expected/intuitive behavior From the data panel choose to Replace the dataset with a new set of values Verify the value of the field now reflects the newly replaced value in the dataset

This OAuth2 client is not available

My team developed a web application that uses a REST API to create and then embed the Lucid Chart documents into our website.We successfully tested the integration between our app and the Lucid. It works fine as long as the user is added to the collaborators in the developers panel.However, when other users test our application they get an error saying:“This OAuth2 client is not available”The account administrator installed our application package for the whole account, but the error still persists.We don’t use the Extension API and our application is totally external to the Lucid. We just need to use the REST API only.

Extension APIs for blocks containers

Hello,I have a use case in LucidCharts where I need to identify if a block area is contained in another.In the documentation you can find this method getContainers() but it returns empty array for nested blocks. Those blocks seem to have valid bounding box values as well.Is there a correct way to use that API?
