Figma Community Files, Plugins & Widgets Scraper

Extract design files, plugins, widgets, FigJam templates, and other resources from the Figma Community. Search by keyword, browse trending resources, filter by resource type, or get all resources from a specific Figma creator — all without any authentication.

What It Does

The Figma Community Scraper gives you structured access to the Figma Community catalog:

• Search design files by keyword (UI kits, dashboards, design systems, icons)
• Search plugins for Figma and FigJam
• Search widgets for FigJam boards
• Browse trending resources across all types
• Get all resources by a specific Figma user using their profile handle
• Filter by resource type, sort by popularity or recency

Each result includes the resource name, author, description, like count, duplicate count, thumbnail, and URL — ready for analysis, competitive research, or integration.

FAQ

Do I need a Figma account or API key? No. The Figma Community is publicly accessible and this scraper requires no credentials.

How many items can I scrape? Up to 5,000 items per run. For larger datasets, run multiple searches with different queries.

Can I search for FigJam templates? Yes. Set resourceType to figjam_template and use mode=trending or searchFiles.

What is the duplicateCount field? This is Figma's "user_count" — the number of times a resource has been duplicated into someone's drafts or projects. It's the best proxy for popularity/adoption.

Why is viewCount sometimes missing? The Figma API returns 0 for view counts on most resources. The scraper omits zero-value fields to keep output clean.

Can I get resources by a Figma organization or team? The byUser mode works with individual profile handles. Organization profiles may also work if they have a public handle.

How fresh is the data? The scraper reads live data from the Figma Community API on each run.

Limitations

• This scraper uses Figma's internal community API. Endpoints may change if Figma updates their platform.
• Figma requires JavaScript rendering for their community pages; however, this scraper uses the underlying JSON API directly for reliability.
• Very new or unlisted resources may not appear in search results immediately.
• Rate limiting may apply for very large runs; the scraper includes automatic retry logic.
• Some content (private files, restricted resources) is not accessible without authentication.
