I'm the Design Lead of Design Systems Division. And our organization currently holds 1k members (Figma seats).
Several of our design systems are modular and component-based, with one supporting 22 real-time dashboards and a total of 174,000 inserts of core components. These components are organized into groups, each stored in a separate library file. The libraries are linked to organisms (files), which are then integrated into templates. This structure ensures flexibility, scalability, and performance but requires significant time for library updates, occasionally leading to the use of outdated versions.
We planned to develop a plugin for semi-auto library publishing/updating to reduce maintenance time and eliminate errors caused by outdated versions. However, the current Figma REST API doesn't support library publishing/update functions, which limits automation possibilities.
We kindly request to Figma team to consider adding library “publishing and update” features to the Figma REST API, particularly for Enterprise (and above) plan users. This would significantly improve process efficiency and minimize errors for large teams like ours.
