Hi Figma team,
I’m developing a plugin and would like to ask whether Figma plans to expose an API for a node’s motion path trajectory, or whether there is already any supported way to read that data.
In the Motion UI, after creating a position animation, users can edit the movement path much like editing a regular curve, which makes more complex path-based motion possible. When I tried to reproduce this behavior in a plugin, I found that I could read timing/easing-related data, but I could not find the key data that defines the spatial trajectory itself.
If this data is not currently exposed, it becomes a major limitation for exporting or translating Figma Motion animations into mainstream web animation ecosystems such as Lottie, SVG, PAG, and similar formats, because path-based movement cannot be reconstructed accurately.
Could you clarify:
- Whether motion path / trajectory data is currently available through the Plugin API in any form
- Whether there is any recommended workaround to access or reconstruct it
- Whether exposing this data is on the roadmap
Thanks.
