Downloading draft files

Alex Chan edited this page Jul 6, 2024 · 3 revisions

Drafts in Figma are files that are not associated with a project. However, drafts are actually put into an "invisible" project that you can access via Figma's REST API and transitively run figma-export on.

To find the drafts project ID:

  1. Open Figma in your browser
  2. Open Developer tools
  3. Navigate to the Network tab
  4. In Figma, navigate to the drafts page
  5. In the Network tab, filter the results to paginated_files
  6. Look for the request for paginated_files
  7. Grab the full request URL

The request URL that you grabbed should look something like: https://www.figma.com/api/folders/1234567890/paginated_files?file_type=&sort_order=desc&sort_column=updated_at&page_size=50. In this case, the drafts project ID is 1234567890.
