Figma API Integration

OAuth Setup

• Use OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code flow)
• Base URL: https://api.figma.com
• Required scopes:
  • file_content:read - Read access to file content (replaces deprecated files:read)
  • file_comments:read - Read access to file comments
  • file_comments:write - Write access to file comments
  • file_dev_resources:read - Read access to dev resources
  • webhooks:write - Manage webhooks for real-time updates

Key Endpoints

• GET /v1/files/:file_key - Get file data
• GET /v1/files/:file_key/comments - Get file comments
• GET /v1/files/:file_key/versions - Get file version history
• GET /v1/teams/:team_id/projects - List team projects
• GET /v1/projects/:project_id/files - List project files
• POST /v2/webhooks - Create webhooks for real-time events
• GET /v1/files/:file_key/images - Export images from files

Rate Limits

• Updated rate limits as of November 2025
• OpenAPI specification available at figma/rest-api-spec GitHub repository

Events to Track

1. File Activity - File created, updated, renamed, deleted
2. Comments - Comment created, replied to, resolved, deleted
3. Version History - New versions published
4. Team Activity - Files added/removed from projects
5. Component Updates - Components published or updated in libraries

Implementation Tasks

• Set up basic integration structure following integrations/github/src/index.ts pattern
• Implement OAuth 2.0 flow in account-create.ts (note: new OAuth app publishing requirements as of Nov 2025)
• Create API utilities in utils.ts with updated scopes (file_content:read instead of deprecated files:read)
• Implement sync logic in schedule.ts for files, comments, and versions
• Set up webhook handling for real-time file and comment events
• Convert Figma events to CORE activity format
• Add error handling and rate limiting
• Create integration documentation
• Add to integrations/README.md

Technical Notes

• Figma REST API uses https://api.figma.com as the base URL
• Full OpenAPI spec available in the figma/rest-api-spec GitHub repository for type generation
• The files:read scope is deprecated; use specific scopes like file_content:read and file_comments:read
• Webhook support available for real-time event notifications
• PNG export quality bug was fixed on January 26, 2026
