I’ve been tasked with developing a publicwidget that can retrieve the share link that one gets when they share a Figma file.
From the research I’ve done, it seems like this is impossible because the file_key is only available with the private plugin API, but I wanted to make a forum post in case there’s any little-known work-arounds I hadn’t considered.
The best work-around I could come up with is to use the RESTful API to GET FILES and match the file names against the file name from the plugin API for the file_key, but this would require loads of HTTP Requests (1 for each project) and require the user paste in their team link :c
Here are some of the sources I viewed in researching this problem:
- REST API for get file_id - #5 by Gleb - RESTful API, user must provide team link as security measure
- Figma API: Accessing user's files, projects or teams - Stack Overflow - no feature to get teams without manually asking user
- Sharing link - user must provide team link
