Hello,
I have a project using Figma REST API to get a Figma file and read some of the properties of a component Instance. A component has another instance as a children which is hidden. The hidden instance has a text layer child. A few days ago I was able to read the properties of this specific child but now it seems like it is not returned: the hidden instance has empty array as for the children collection.
Is this expected now because this was introduced a couple of days ago and is not documented neither in the REST API docs nor in the changelog.
Is there a way I can bypass this?
Thanks.
Solved
Figma REST API does not return children of hidden instance

This is a show-stopper issue for our package too. If this is a bug, it requires fix as soon as possible. If it is a change made to the API, the changes should be documented.

Yes, now I can see the children nodes of hidden instances. Thanks for the fix!
Sorry again for the disruption. We’re adding some additional checks to make sure this doesn’t slip through the cracks again.
