Hello Sarvesh!


“Does Lucid offers APIs for creating a flowchart using an AI prompt? If yes, then Can I later edit the flowchart (SVG/PNG) which I get in response using Lucid APIs/platform?”

• The api does not have a feature that generates a flowchart by a prompt. You can generate your own json and import it to create a new document using our import document endpoint. After a document is imported, it can not be edited by the api later.

“Can API return the explanation or pseudo code for the generated flowchart?”
 

• The api has a gets contents endpoint that return json with document and shape information.

I do want to mention that there is text to diagram in the app. (As long as the account allows AI) Here is a help link. (This link also talks about the models we use to generate the diagrams)
 

Feel free to ask more questions!

​@sarvesh.lakhera just to add a few other workarounds to ​@Jeremy Lakey's response above. If you have a model capable of producing Mermaid code, Lucid chart can render Mermaid on the canvas. Also, if you have a model capable of producing a CSV, this data can be imported to produce a Flowchart in Lucidchart.
