This guide provides comprehensive instructions on setting up and authenticating with the Figma REST API. It covers two primary authentication methods: Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for server-side scripting, and the OAuth 2.0 flow for building user-facing applications. Learn how to generate tokens, manage granular scopes, and securely integrate your code with Figma's design data.

This comprehensive skill provides a framework for load testing and capacity planning of Figma API integrations. Using tools like k6, it helps benchmark API throughput, identify rate limit ceilings (e.g., leaky bucket behavior), and analyze latency under high load. It also outlines advanced scaling strategies—such as request coalescing and staggering—to ensure reliable, high-volume application integration.

This guide provides a comprehensive setup for local development workflows for Figma plugins and external REST API integrations. It enables developers to build, test, and iterate rapidly using hot reloading, mocked API fixtures, and structured project templates. Essential for creating design-to-code pipelines and advanced Figma tooling.

Automate the complex process of migrating design systems, design tokens, and styles between multiple Figma files, or from external sources into Figma. This tool covers the full pipeline: inventorying assets, extracting raw style data (colors, typography, effects), transforming them into structured design tokens (e.g., JSON format), and finally writing them back into Figma variables using the Variables API. Ideal for maintaining consistency across large design libraries.

This skill guides the secure configuration of Figma API access across development, staging, and production environments. It details best practices for managing separate API tokens (PATs), file keys, and cache settings. The focus is on implementing robust environment guards and utilizing secret management solutions to prevent cross-environment data leakage and accidental operations.

Provides comprehensive monitoring, metrics tracking, and alerting for all Figma API interactions. It instruments client calls to track key metrics like request latency, error rates, rate limit status, and cache performance. This solution ensures robust operational visibility, allowing developers to maintain high availability and stability for Figma integrations in production environments.

Automated guardrails for enforcing security policies and coding standards across all Figma API integrations. This tool is essential for CI/CD pipelines, helping to prevent credential leaks (PATs), validate API scopes, enforce request best practices, and ensure stable, secure connectivity with Figma.

A comprehensive checklist for deploying and auditing Figma REST API integrations in a production environment. It covers critical best practices including secure authentication, robust error handling (backoff, retries), rate limit management, continuous monitoring setup, and secure webhook implementation, ensuring a stable and reliable product launch.

This skill provides comprehensive strategies for managing rate limits when interacting with the Figma REST API. It implements crucial patterns like exponential backoff, respects 'Retry-After' headers, utilizes request queuing with concurrency control, and includes a proactive rate limit monitor. Use this when developing high-volume, resilient integrations that frequently encounter 429 errors or require optimized API throughput.

A comprehensive reference architecture for building production-grade integrations with the Figma REST API. This guide covers the full design-to-code pipeline, including design token extraction, scalable asset export (icons/images), and robust webhook event handling. Ideal for architects planning new Figma services, establishing project structure, or implementing complex design system workflows.

This guide details advanced patterns for building production-grade fault-tolerant integrations with external APIs, specifically targeting Figma. Learn to implement critical reliability mechanisms such as Circuit Breakers to prevent cascading failures, cached fallbacks for graceful degradation, exponential backoff retries for rate limits, and request timeouts. Use this when your application must remain stable despite external service outages or performance degradation.

This comprehensive guide outlines essential security protocols for integrating with the Figma API. It covers best practices including securely storing Personal Access Tokens (PATs), implementing least-privilege scopes, managing token rotation lifecycles, and verifying incoming webhook payloads. Use this when setting up, auditing, or maintaining production-grade Figma integrations to ensure data integrity and prevent unauthorized access.
