Question

Is there a getVideoByHash(video.videoHash) function?


Duarte_Edan

Hello, Iā€™m developing a plugin, and have been able to bring images to my Express app in a POST by let image = figma.getImageByHash(paint.imageHash)
and then running image.getBytesAsync(). Then sending this uint8Array to Express/Multer.

Are there going to be similar functions added for video? I tried accessing a video in a prototype using its hash i.e. figma.getImageByHash(video.videoHash) but no luck. Sorry if this isnā€™t very clear. Thanks and love all the cool new features!

All the best, Edan

Yes this will be added.

Update: I misunderstood the question, thought you meant all video APIs but those are already available. Getting an uploaded video from Figma seems to be not possible currently and I saw no mention of it ever becoming available. But it probably should be released at some point of course.

Hi there! Just adding a +1 that I would love to see something like getVideoByHash(videoHash). Itā€™d be super useful for helping make plugins that can stylize video!

Quick update here: seems like the Figma team is working on introducing this in the next release or two (the release cycle is ~4 weeks).

So hopefully, we will have this soon šŸ¤ž.

For now as a workaround, we can ask users to select their videos from their local drive again.

Sadly that is correct, there is still no way to do this šŸ˜¢


Are there any updates here? We would love to be able to do more with videos in our plugins šŸ„¹

+1 for this, looking to get all videos in a Figma file quickly for download without having to go frame by frame.

Bump this request, Iā€™m also looking for this! Or just in the REST API

@Gleb, maybe you get some updates on this? Even getting an S3 link from plugin API (like the one in development mode) would be great to have.
