I’m reading shapes from boards through the REST API using a python program. It generally works well , but I get “Widget not found” errors when I try to access shapes from a BPMN diagram. Do I need to change the call I’m making or is this not yet supported?

The introduction of flowchart shapes to the Miro REST API signifies that developers can now programmatically create and manipulate flowchart diagrams within the Miro platform using API calls. Flowchart shapes are commonly used in various applications to represent processes, workflows, and decision trees. This enhancement to the API expands the capabilities of developers to integrate flowchart-related functionality into their applications or automate processes involving flowchart creation and editing within Miro. It opens up opportunities for more dynamic and customized diagramming solutions using the Miro platform. Developers can refer to the API documentation for details on how to leverage these new features for working with flowchart shapes in Miro via the REST API. Tech Fai
