Any update figma to URL structure?


Eli_Berger

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?

Yes, Figma has made changes to the file URLs. Now they look like this:

figma.com/board/{file_key}/{file_name} # FigJam files
figma.com/{file_type}/{file_key}/{file_name} # other types in the future

Well, it’s broken all of my angular - storybook - Figma links. Opening code today and spinning up storybook, I can see the Figma designs for links formatted as /file/xxxxxx, but if I try to generate new elements and copy the links, they have the new format /design/ and they don’t seem to work. I just get a big “www.figma.com refused to connect.” in the panel. Not sure how to proceed? …
