Lucidchart

Lucidchart is a web-based intelligent diagramming application by Lucid Software, part of the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite (Lucidchart, Lucidspark, Lucidscale). The Lucid Developer Platform exposes a REST API for documents/folders/collaborators/content, an Extension API for in-editor extensions, an Embed SDK for embedding diagrams in external apps, and a SCIM API for enterprise provisioning.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Lucidchart the way a machine reads it — 16 machine-readable artifacts across 9 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Lucidchart scores 41.9/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Lucidchart

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Lucidchart. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 9

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Lucid REST API

Programmatically create, search, read, copy, trash, and restore Lucid documents and folders. Manage collaborators and document permissions. Transfer content (import/export) and ...

Lucid Document Content / Import-Export API

Read structured document content (shapes, lines, pages) and import standard formats (Visio VSDX, Gliffy, draw.io, Mermaid, AWS architecture). Export to PNG, PDF, JPEG, SVG, and ...

Lucid Embed SDK & API

Embed Lucid diagrams and whiteboards into external apps with read-only or interactive viewing, and listen to events such as page change and shape selection.

Lucid Extension API

Build extensions that run inside Lucidchart, Lucidspark, and Lucidscale editors. Read and modify canvas content, import data, and ship custom shape libraries via the lucid-packa...

Lucid OAuth 2.0 API

OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow used by all Lucid REST API integrations to obtain user-scoped access tokens.

Lucid SCIM API

SCIM 2.0 API for Enterprise customers. Provisions users and groups from Okta, Azure AD, OneLogin, and other IdPs across the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite.

Lucid Webhooks API

Subscribe to events on documents and folders (create, update, trash, restore) and receive HTTP callbacks at your endpoint.

Lucidchart Documents API

The Documents API from Lucidchart — 2 operation(s) for documents.

Lucidchart Folders API

The Folders API from Lucidchart — 2 operation(s) for folders.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

OPEN COLLECTION

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
