What Can I Do With Figma API?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:06 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, primarily aimed at web designers and developers. It is available as a web app and as a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux.

Figma has been described as “the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration”, allowing multiple users to work on the same file simultaneously. It also has version control, allowing users to roll back to previous versions of the design.

Figma was founded in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

PRO TIP: The Figma API is a powerful tool that allows you to access and manipulate data in your Figma account. However, it is important to be aware that the API can also be used to delete data from your account. Therefore, it is important to use the API responsibly and only with accounts that you trust.

Figma was launched out of beta in 2016, and raised $14 million in Series A funding in 2017. In 2018, the company raised $25 million in Series B funding, led by Sequoia Capital, and announced that it had 1 million active monthly users.

Figma has a freemium business model, with a free tier for individual use and paid subscription plans for teams. The paid subscription plans give users access to additional features such as version control, collaboration and commenting tools, and the ability to use custom fonts.

Figma API can be used to create custom integrations and automations for Figma. For example, you could use the API to create a custom plugin or script that automatically generates design specs or code snippets from a Figma design file. Or you could use the API to build a tool that allows team members to collaborate on design files directly from their code editor or IDE.

The possibilities are endless! If you’re a developer or designer who wants to supercharge your workflow with Figma API, head over to our Developer Portal to get started.
