SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill accelerates extracting high-resolution design assets and metadata from Figma via the REST API, bypassing MCP quotas and eliminating manual UI interactions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • REST API access with Personal Access Token (PAT) for fast, quota-friendly fetches.
  • Batch extraction of PNGs at original or scaled resolutions, plus full file structure and node metadata.
  • Design token and layout data retrieval to support design-to-code, documentation, and asset pipelines.

Quick Start

Run the script to fetch design assets from a Figma file using a Personal Access Token stored in the Keychain.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract Figma design assets and metadata using the REST API instead of MCP?

You can extract Figma design assets via the REST API by running local scripts with a Personal Access Token (PAT) to fetch page structures, node metadata, images, and design tokens, bypassing MCP quota limits.

Why does my Figma MCP integration hit quota limits during batch asset extraction?

Figma MCP enforces usage quotas that limit batch extraction. Using a REST API with a PAT bypasses these MCP quota limits, allowing fast, batch retrieval of high-resolution PNGs and node metadata without manual UI interaction.

What do I need to start fetching Figma file structures and images via REST API?

To fetch Figma file structures and images, you need a Personal Access Token (PAT) stored securely in the Keychain and the specific fileKey or node IDs to target the desired design resources for local script execution.

Can I batch download Figma PNGs at scaled resolutions through the REST API?

Yes, you can batch download Figma PNGs at original or scaled resolutions through the REST API. The local scripts retrieve and download these image resources efficiently using your securely stored PAT.

Does this Figma REST API extraction method support design-to-code pipelines?

Yes, this Figma REST API extraction method supports design-to-code pipelines by retrieving design tokens, layout data, and full node metadata, which enables automated batch processing for code generation and documentation.
