Lucidchart API
Lucid publishes a public REST API with document CRUD, folder and team management, import and export in PDF, PNG, SVG, and CSV, plus embed tokens and webhooks. OAuth 2.0 app registration at developer.lucid.co is mandatory; there is no API-key alternative. SCIM handles provisioning.

Lucidchart is the flagship intelligent diagramming product from Lucid Software (Salt Lake City, UT; founded 2010 by Ben Dilts and Karl Sun). It is a browser-based application for building flowcharts, org charts, process maps, network/architecture diagrams, ERDs, mind maps, UML, and BPMN.
Horizontal enterprise productivity / visual collaboration SaaS. Buyers are IT and engineering organizations, product/UX teams, PMO/operations, HR (org charts and process mapping), and educational institutions. Architecture and infrastructure diagrams (AWS/Azure/GCP imports via Lucidscale). Software design: UML, sequence diagrams, ERDs, system context maps. Business process mapping, swim lanes, BPMN.
Very high within its category.
Documents/diagrams (boards) and pages within them. Shape/element graph data (nodes, edges, text, custom data). Folders, teams, users, groups, roles (SCIM). Linked data sources (CSV, Google Sheets, BambooHR, SQL via Lucidscale, AWS/Azure/GCP imports).
Founded 2010; the web app has been continuously rewritten on modern stacks and added AI features (text-to-diagram, AI assist, AI-generated org charts) in 2023-2025.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
