get_file
Get information about a Figma file
LABSCO SUMMARY
It reads a Figma file, its comments and its team's projects without editing a node; comments and webhooks are its only writes.
The tools cover a Figma file's information, versions and components, the comments on it, a team's projects and published styles, and webhooks. Comments can be read, posted to the file and deleted, but not replied to, so the review conversation itself still happens in Figma. The webhook tools deserve the most care: create_webhook sends a team's events to a callback URL you name.
What it is
A Figma REST API client with twelve tools: a file's information, version history and components, its comments, a team's projects, files and published styles, and webhooks.
What you get
- get_file, get_file_versions and get_file_components return a file's information, its version history and its components.
- get_file_comments reads a file's comments, post_comment adds one to the file and delete_comment removes one.
- get_team_projects, get_project_files and get_component_styles list a team's projects, the files in a project and the team's published styles.
- create_webhook, get_webhooks and delete_webhook manage a team's webhooks.
Requirements
A Figma access token for the file.

USE CASES
01
Reading what reviewers said
Pull every comment on the file as text, rather than clicking through pins in the canvas.
02
Leaving a comment on a file
Post a comment to the file from the conversation, and delete one that no longer applies.
03
Finding a file and seeing how it changed
List the team's projects and the files in each, then read a file's version history.
