Your new community platform: a central hub for all Lucid developer resources

Welcome to our new community platform!

You might have noticed some changes around here – that's because we've upgraded to a new platform for the entire Lucid Community, bringing new features and opportunities for all our members, including the Lucid for Developers community space.

What’s new?

Now you can earn builder badges, more dynamically engage with forum discussions, participate in Groups, and even send private messages to other Community members, and more easily format code in your posts and comments. As we make this exciting transition, it's the perfect opportunity to revisit the wealth of resources available for interacting with Lucid's APIs and building extensions.

Key resources for interacting with Lucid's APIs and building extensions:

•  Getting started with our public APIs:
  • Visit our Development guide
  • Review documentation for our REST API, Extension API, SCIM API, Custom Shapes and Formulas 
  • Visit our Help Center article on Developer Tools
  • Go to your Developer Portal and create an app
• Are you already developing an extension? 
  • Visit our GitHub repo for examples of already built-out extensions
  • Ask for technical support, here, in the Developer Community
