i want to known how can i use my own api in my figma make project so i can get the real time data

May I know how can we share the dev mode to the external developers? We would invite them as a guest for the file, but can the external developer paid for the full seat account?

I am trying to verify my education status. But it is showing "Verification limit exceeded". Can anyone else is having the same issue or have solved it. 

After using Figma for your design work, how do you check whether it is helping your team work faster, better, or more efficiently? Which numbers or feedback do you look at?

Hey everyone I work at TripleMinds, and our team has been exploring how design can shape more human-like AI interactions. Recently, we’ve been experimenting with Candy AI Clone, a tool that lets you create adaptive AI characters that evolve through conversations.I’m curious how other designers here think about this space: Have you designed interfaces for AI-driven personalities or chat companions? How do you visualize things like emotional tone, growth, or character traits within Figma? Are there any plugins or design systems you’ve used for mapping AI conversations or user emotions? Would love to learn how others are incorporating AI personality design into their UX workflows — and how tools like Figma can support that creative process.Looking forward to hearing your experiences and ideas! 

I have the education plan and now i can not see the inspect features and also some other properties in making responsive the layout like spaceBetween what is the issue? 

I’ve set this component to include both text and a background. I’m using a boolean to hide the background, but when it’s hidden, the component doesn’t shrink to fit the text — it keeps the same size as when the background is visible.

I created bug tickets in Figma for my team. A week has passed, and not a single one was answered. Today, all the tickets were closed with a “Resolved” status and no responses. I submitted both bug reports and sales related tickets. What’s going on?

I accidentally upgraded my old professional account to the education plan. Could you please downgrade it and allow me to reverify my student status using my personal account, which previously had the student plan?

So once you add text onto a path, there's no way to separate them back? I'd like to extract the curve from the object below, for example. 

I was adding text to an arc and noticed I can't change the text rotation; the text is always aligned to the path. It would be great to be able to change the text rotation to an arbitrary angle (in the example below, I'd like to make all the numbers horizontal).  

Hello We're working on a third-party app that uses Figma's REST API. Our app needs to support both Enterprise and non-Enterprise users. For Enterprise users, we want to enable variable imports (which requires the file_variables:read scope). However, when we include this scope in our OAuth request (along with file_content:read and current_user:read), non-Enterprise users face an error on Figma's OAuth authorization page (https://www.figma.com/oauth?client_id...){ "error": true, "status": 400, "message": "scope file_variables:read is only allowed for Enterprise users", "i18n": null}Since this error occurs on Figma's page before the callback to our app, we can't handle it on our end. This blocks non-Enterprise users from signing in at all. We've looked at the /v1/me endpoint but don't see plan info there. Is there a way to detect if a user is Enterprise, or what's the recommended way to support both Enterprise and non-Enterprise users in the same app? Thanks!

Hi all! I’m having a hard time creating a responsive navigation bar to my Figma Sites. My navbar is currently set it fixed so it moves with scrolling.  I Have a parent frame that is auto-layout and inside it other frame containing navlinks.  I would like the navbar’s weight to be filled to page, but whenever I go to dropdown menu, it only gives me options for fixed weight and hug.  If I try to adjust the weight manually, it goes off-centered in every breakpoint. Can someone help me?

I have a lot of system files, and I want to make a flowchart. Do you know a way to do that out of the files?

Hey everyone,I'm working on a personal design project inspired by the game in the title. For context and to understand all the existing elements, I'm referencing the resources found here:https://github.com/ibrahimprakasa/rfs-real-flight-simulatorMy goal in Figma is to concept a full UI/UX redesign, specifically focusing on the hangar and the aircraft selection screens. I'm aiming for a more modern and functional look.Project Breakdown: Tool: Figma Focus: Hangar UI, Aircraft Selection, and Livery Customization Screens. Goal: A smooth interactive prototype with a clean visual interface. The Main Figma Challenge:My biggest issue is asset management for every single plane. With all aircraft variants, different liveries, and configurations, the number of visual assets is massive. What's the best way to structure component variants for dozens of aircraft models without the file becoming incredibly slow and messy? Should I be using SVGs or PNGs for the aircraft thumbnails to maintain pr

I’m a developer that was just given dev mode access to my company’s library.  When I execute `figma connect` I get this error: Failed to fetch components from Figma (403): 403 Invalid scope(s): Please ensure that you have selected both the File Read scope and the Code Connect Write scope when generating the token. In the Getting started with Code Connect article it mentions this:Generate a personal access token with the Code Connect scope set to Write and the File content scope set to Read-only. However, this is not one of the scopes that are available to me when I create a personal access token.  This happens even when I give all my available scopes the highest privileges. Does anyone know what I am missing here?  Does my organization need to do something to have this scope show up here?  

Your preferred way of using Figma with remote teammates so collaboration is smooth and productive.

This seems simple but i can't seem to figure it out at all, i've tried booleans, strings, and number variables but they all didn't work. I might have done it wrong I'm not sure but please help. I just want the slider to trigger and match the red square variants when you drag it to the right position.  

How do I join the AI beta? I see articles talking about clicking on a wait list link but I can’t find the link anywhere.

I'm trying to apply for the Figma Education Plan but I'm stuck at the SheerID verification step. The problem is that my university does not provide students with an official university email address. We use our personal email addresses for all academic communication. Because of this, I can’t pass the automatic verification process.I'm ready to provide proof of my student status in other ways, such as a photo of my student ID card or a screenshot from the student portal with my details. Has anyone else from a similar university encountered this problem? How did you resolve it? Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I have a collection that uses a number scale 0 to 80 plus 9999 (rounded) and in my themes collection I have numbers for things like button radius or stroke width and I have created those variables, e.g. button-radius and in theme one its using a semantic radius-md (8px) and in theme 2 (radius-round (9999px). The varibable is assigned to the button component but when looking at the variable in the radius menu it says the value is 0 not 8 or 9999?  Any ideas why this is?

I have a problem with the bounding box, I don't know how to remove it. Actually I have made a vector outline but the image is activated when I go over the bounding box. How to remove the bounding box

We are embedding some short video loops into a Figma Slides presentation and noticed that they do not play immediately on transition. There is a ½ second or so delay before they play. Is there a way around this?
