Hello everyone!
I use the API endpoint “www.api.figma.com/v1/images” to pull images from Figma frames, the way I know what file and what node to pull, is by copying a link to the frame in Figma and then parsing the info, yesterday the link would look like this “www.figma.com/file/…”, today it looks like this “Free Design Tool for Websites, Product Design & More | Figma…”.
Was there any change in the URL structure, or is there any other reason why this might happen?
Sorry the link today is the same as yesterday but instead of /files it says /design
Yes, Figma has made changes to the file URLs. Now they look like this:
figma.com/design/{file_key}/{file_name} # Figma Design files
figma.com/board/{file_key}/{file_name} # FigJam files
figma.com/{file_type}/{file_key}/{file_name} # other types in the future

Did they announce these changes anywhere?
This was announced in an email newsletter for developers and on the Discord channel.

I just get a big “www.figma.com refused to connect.” in the panel. Not sure how to proceed? …
