I’m currently working with the Figma API and trying to retrieve data from a specific branch within my file. While I’ve identified the branch ID from the URL (e.g., https://www.figma.com/design//branch//...), I haven’t found any documentation indicating how to dynamically call or access branches using the API.

Here are my questions:

Is it possible to query a list of available branches or fetch branch-specific details using the Figma API?

How can the branch_id parameter be utilized correctly in API requests, and are there any specific configurations required to access branches?

Are there limitations or additional permissions needed to retrieve branch-specific content?
For reference, I’m trying to execute the following API call with the branch_id parameter:


https://api.figma.com/v1/files/?branch_id=

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on this functionality or any alternative approaches to access branch-specific data programmatically.

 

Thanks
