Getting the original image file name from the API

Figma doesn’t keep the original file names for image fills in the UI. However, there used to be a workaround for by getting the file name in Inspect > CSS code in background property.

As recently, Figma stopped showing original image filenames even in the generated CSS code, I was looking into API to see if the original image names are preserved anywhere. I couldn’t find the original filename on any of the endpoint JSON.

Perhaps I’m missing something or is this info isn’t anywhere in the API?

Looks like you can still grab the original file in Dev mode - no idea how this translates into the API though:
