Lucidchart Install & Auth

Overview

Set up Lucid REST API for programmatic diagram creation and document management.

Prerequisites

• Lucidchart account and API access
• API key/credentials from Lucidchart dashboard
• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.8+

Instructions

Step 1: Install SDK

npm install @lucid-co/sdk
# OAuth2 app credentials from developer.lucid.co

Step 2: Configure Authentication

export LUCID_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
echo 'LUCID_API_KEY=your-api-key' >> .env

Step 3: Verify Connection (TypeScript)

import { LucidClient } from '@lucid-co/sdk';
const client = new LucidClient({
  clientId: process.env.LUCID_CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.LUCID_CLIENT_SECRET
});
const docs = await client.documents.list();
console.log(`Found ${docs.length} documents`);

Step 4: Verify Connection (Python)

import lucid
client = lucid.Client(client_id=os.environ['LUCID_CLIENT_ID'],
                      client_secret=os.environ['LUCID_CLIENT_SECRET'])
docs = client.documents.list()
print(f'Found {len(docs)} documents')
