Connecting to Figma

Once your users have connected their Figma account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Figma API on behalf of connected users.

See the Figma REST API documentation for their full API reference.

Any Figma API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.

// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration

// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectId>, <UserToken>);
            
// Get a File
paragon.request("figma", "/v1/files/:key", {
  method: "GET"
});

// Get a Project's Files
paragon.request("figma", "/v1/projects/:project_id/files", {
  method: "GET"
});
