Lucidchart Debugging API Bundle

v20260423
lucidchart-debug-bundle
This comprehensive debug bundle collects all necessary diagnostic evidence from Lucidchart's API integrations. It systematically checks document access, data linking integrity, shape rendering, and export status by capturing API responses, page metadata, and rate limit information. It is essential for support engineers diagnosing complex integration failures without needing direct account access.

Lucidchart Debug Bundle

Overview

This debug bundle collects diagnostic evidence from Lucidchart diagramming API integrations
for troubleshooting document access, shape rendering, data linking pipelines, and export
failures. It captures OAuth token validation, document listing, page metadata, data-linked
shape status, and export endpoint availability. The resulting tarball provides support
engineers the evidence to diagnose permission errors, stale data links, broken embeds,
and export timeouts without requiring direct Lucid account access.

Prerequisites

  • curl, jq, tar installed
  • LUCID_API_KEY set (OAuth2 bearer token from Lucid developer portal)
  • LUCID_ACCOUNT_ID optionally set for account-scoped queries

Analyzing the Bundle

tar -xzf debug-lucidchart-*.tar.gz
cat debug-lucidchart-*/environment.txt          # Verify API key is set
cat debug-lucidchart-*/api-health.txt           # Check HTTP status and latency
jq '.documents | length' debug-lucidchart-*/documents.json  # Count accessible docs
jq '.dataSources' debug-lucidchart-*/data-links.json        # Check linked data sources

Common Issues

Automated Health Check

async function checkLucidchartHealth(): Promise<{
  status: string;
  latencyMs: number;
  userOk: boolean;
  documentCount: number;
  dataLinkingAvailable: boolean;
}> {
  const apiKey = process.env.LUCID_API_KEY;
  const headers = {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    "Lucid-Api-Version": "1",
  };
  const start = Date.now();

  const userRes = await fetch("https://api.lucid.co/users/me", { headers });
  const docsRes = await fetch("https://api.lucid.co/documents?limit=1", { headers });

  let documentCount = 0;
  let dataLinkingAvailable = false;
  if (docsRes.ok) {
    const data = await docsRes.json();
    documentCount = data.documents?.length ?? 0;
    if (documentCount > 0) {
      const docId = data.documents[0].documentId;
      const dlRes = await fetch(
        `https://api.lucid.co/documents/${docId}/dataSources`, { headers }
      );
      dataLinkingAvailable = dlRes.ok;
    }
  }

  return {
    status: userRes.ok ? "healthy" : "degraded",
    latencyMs: Date.now() - start,
    userOk: userRes.ok,
    documentCount,
    dataLinkingAvailable,
  };
}
