Share prototype URL from a plugin

[Luis_Parente]

I’m working on a public plugin that will send an email to an user with the prototype URL of the selected page without the need for the user to copy the url from the share button.
After searching this forum I’m left with the impression that only private plugins have access to the fileKey that is needed to create the URL.
Is this true? Or can I generate the prototype URL with another approach?

Unique file identifier

Will you be publishing the plugin to the Figma Community (if not already published) or are you developing the plugin just for yourself? If the former, then you need to come up with something, such as asking the user to paste a link to a file in order to get a fileKey. If the latter, then enable the private plugin API in the manifest.json file and use the figma.fileKey.

Nothing has changed since then.

Please refer to the documentation:

fileKey: string | undefined [readonly]
The file key of the current file this plugin is running on. Only private plugins and Figma-owned resources (such as the Jira and Asana widgets) have access to this. To enable this behavior, you need to specify enablePrivatePluginApi in your manifest.json.
