I have the Figma page URL, the node ID (1:2, 1:3, etc), and the file key. Is there a way to generate a URL to a specific node? from what I’m able to see, the URL should be https://www.figma.com/file{file_key}/{file_name}?node-id=/{node_id} but the node_id appears in the URL as something like 1%3A2&t=LmbhyU6Dh4wZFrzK-0. Is there a way to convert the 1:3 node_id from the original node object into the string necessary for this? Thanks for the help.

The same question. I also need file_key. Unclear how to get it.

Why is it available for private plugins only? It’s strange.

This was helpful reference. If anyone else is referencing this to generate their own urls, just a note, I think…
https://www.figma.com/file{file_key}/{file_name}?node-id=/{node_id}
…should actually be…
https://www.figma.com/file/{file_key}/{file_name}?node-id={node_id} (note the different position of the forward slashes).

The specific code I used to generate urls was…
const nodeUrl = `https://www.figma.com/file/${figma.fileKey}/${encodeURIComponent(figma.root.name)}?type=design&node-id=${encodeURIComponent(node_id)}`
