Api

We have followed the same organisation as the official Figma API documentation to describe our API methods, so it's easier to find the exact endpoint call you are looking for.

Helpers

Api.appendHeaders(headers: {}): void Populate headers with auth.

Api.request<T>(url, opts): Promise<T> Make request with auth headers.

Authentication

new Api ({ personalAccessToken, oAuthToken })

Creates new Api object with specified personal or oAuthToken. Documentation on how to get tokens

Helpers

function oAuthLink(
    client_id: string,
    redirect_uri: string,
    scope: 'file_read',
    state: string,
    response_type: 'code',
): string;

Returns link for OAuth auth flow. User should open this link, allow access and he will be redirected to redirect_uri?code=<code>. Then you should use oAuthToken method to get access token.

function oAuthToken(
    client_id: string,
    client_secret: string,
    redirect_uri: string,
    code: string,
    grant_type: 'authorization_code',
): Promise<{
    access_token: string,
    refresh_token: string,
    expires_in: number,
}>

Returns access token info from oauth code (see oAuthLink method).

Figma files

Api.getFile

Api.getFile(fileKey, opts?: { version?, ids?, depth?, geometry?, plugin_data?: string, branch_data?: boolean })

Require file data with specified version.

Api.getFileNodes

Api.getFileNodes(fileKey, ids, opts?: { version?, depth?, geometry?, plugin_data? })

Api.getImage

Api.getImage(fileKey, opts?: { ids, scale, format, svg_include_id?, svg_simplify_stroke?, use_absolute_bounds?, version?: string })

Renders images from a file.

Api.getImageFills

Api.getImageFills(fileKey)

Comments

Api.getComments

Api.getComments(fileKey)

Api.postComment

Api.postComment(fileKey, message, client_meta, comment_id?)

Posts a new comment on the file.

Api.deleteComments

Deletes a specific comment. Only the person who made the comment is allowed to delete it.

Users

Api.getMe

Api.getMe()

You can use the Users Endpoint to access information regarding the currently authenticated User. When using OAuth 2, the User in question must be authenticated through the Figma API to access their information.

Version history

Api.getVersions

Api.getVersions(fileKey)

A list of the version history of a file. The version history consists of versions, manually-saved additions to the version history of a file. If the account is not on a paid team, version history is limited to the past 30 days. Note that version history will not include autosaved versions.

Projects

Api.getTeamProjects

Api.getTeamProjects(team_id)

Lists the projects for a specified team. Note that this will only return projects visible to the authenticated user or owner of the developer token. Note: it is not currently possible to programmatically obtain the team id of a user just from a token. To obtain a team id, navigate to a team page of a team you are a part of. The team id will be present in the URL after the word team and before your team name.
