This repository contains the OpenAPI specification and Typescript types for the Figma REST API.

Changelog

Note: this specification is currently in beta. If you notice any inaccuracies with the specification, please file an issue in this repository.

Usage

The OpenAPI (v3.1.0) specification is located in the openapi/ directory. This specification can be used with a wide variety of tools to generate API documentation, client SDKs, and more.

The Typescript types are generated from the OpenAPI specification and are located in dist/.

We use a custom code generator to convert the OpenAPI spec to TypeScript. While there are a number of existing OpenAPI-to-Typescript code generators, we adopted a custom solution that produces output that we believe is more optimal for the Figma REST API. In particular:

• All OpenAPI schemas, responses, and request parameters are exported as named types. This exposes named types inside complex node properties (e.g. Paint, VariableAlias, etc...).
• Types directly associated with API endpoints are prefixed with the OpenAPI operation ID (e.g. getFile -> GetFilePathParams, GetFileQueryParams, GetFileResponse). For API endpoints expecting a request body, the types are suffixed with RequestBody (e.g. postComments -> PostCommentsRequestBody).

To use these types in your Typescript code, install the package:

npm install --save-dev @figma/rest-api-spec

Then import the types that you need:

import { GetFileResponse } from '@figma/rest-api-spec'

// Many popular HTTP clients let you annotate response types
const result = await axios.get<GetFileResponse>(url);
result.data // This has type GetFileResponse
