Introduction to Figma API

Getting started

An account in Figma can be accessed using the API and a personal access token.

Make your own access token:

When you retrieve the personal access token save it as an environmental variable (e.g. edit .Renviron by typing usethis::edir_r_environ()).

FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN="YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_GOES_HERE!!!"

After saving your changes restart R session.

Example

Open Figma and navigate to your favorite file. In the URL you can see the key of the file. To retrieve the File as an R object execute:

library(Rigma)
example_file_key <- "sFHgQh9dL6369o5wrZHmdR"
get_file(example_file_key)

A tree of nodes is used to represent the Figma file. Every file has a DOCUMENT node at the root, and any CANVAS nodes branch out of that node. Various POST and GET methods are provided in this package to interact with a Figma files and teams.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
