Important

Version 2.0 Beta - This version is a complete rewrite of the library, based on the Figma REST API specifications. Many endpoint methods have been renamed from version 1.x, and all the endpoint methods' arguments now match the Figma REST API documentation. If you were using the previous version, and intend to use the new one, you will have to update your code accordingly. The good news is that from now on they should always remain in sync, so no major disruptions in the future, with the benefit of a full alignment with the official Figma REST API documentation and specifications.

figma-api

JavaScript client-side implementation of the Figma REST API.

Thin layer on top of the official Figma REST API specifications, fully typed with TypeScript, uses Promises (via Axios) & ES6.

Supports both browser & Node.js implementations.

Install

npm i figma-api

or browser version:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/didoo/figma-api/master/lib/figma-api.js https://raw.githubusercontent.com/didoo/figma-api/master/lib/figma-api.min.js

If you have CORS limitation, import the figma-api[.min].js file in your codebase via the npm package.

Usage

In a Node.js script:

import * as Figma from 'figma-api';

export async function main() {
    const api = new Figma.Api({
        personalAccessToken: 'my-token',
    });

    const file = await api.getFile('my-file-key');
    // ... access file data ...
}

or in a browser script:

const api = new Figma.Api({ personalAccessToken: 'my-personal-access-token' });

api.getFile({ file_key: 'my-file-key'}).then((file) => {
    // access file data
});

In this case, the Figma object is gloabl and all the API methods are associated with it.

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.

Authentication

new Api ({ personalAccessToken, oAuthToken })

Creates new Api object with specified personalAccessToken or oAuthToken. For details about how to get these tokens, see the documentation

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

Returns link for OAuth auth flow. Users should open this link, allow access and they will be redirected to redirect_uri?code=<code>. Then they should use oAuthToken method to get an 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 the access token from oauth code (see oAuthLink method).

Other helpers:

• Api.appendHeaders(headers) - Populate headers with auth.
• Api.request(url, opts) - Make request with auth headers.

Endpoints

All these endpoints methods receive objects like pathParams, queryParams, requestBody, as arguments, and return a Promise. For details about the shape of these objects refer to the official Figma REST API documentation (see links below).
