Hi everyone 👋,I’m working on a custom web builder that allows users to import their own Figma designs.The flow looks like this: User authenticates via Figma OAuth (we store the access token). We fetch the file’s JSON data via the Figma REST API. We’d like to send this JSON to an external conversion service (e.g., Anima API or similar) that returns clean HTML/CSS code. Finally, the generated code will be loaded into our in-house editor for further customization. I have two questions: Does Figma provide any official or recommended method, SDK, or partner service for programmatically converting Figma JSON (nodes) to HTML/CSS? Are there any limitations in the API (for example, with Free accounts) that might prevent us from performing this kind of workflow? Any documentation, examples, or guidance would be highly appreciated 🙏Thanks in advance!

Question

Integrating Figma API with an external HTML/CSS converter service

Hi everyone 👋,
I’m working on a custom web builder that allows users to import their own Figma designs.

We’d like to send this JSON to an external conversion service (e.g., Anima API or similar) that returns clean HTML/CSS code.
Finally, the generated code will be loaded into our in-house editor for further customization.
