Figma Templates Scraper

Figma Community Design Templates (figma.com/community/design-templates) is Figma's hub of publishable design template files, organized by category and editor type. This actor starts from Figma Community category/search pages or direct template URLs and extracts structured data for each design template into an Apify dataset.

Introduction

The Figma Templates scraper is built specifically for Figma's design-template listings — a niche distinct from a generic Figma Community crawl. It follows category/search URLs to discover templates, then visits each template's page to collect title, author, likes, duplicates (remixes), tags, category, and other public details.

Use Cases

• Design asset discovery: Build structured lists of Figma design templates by category.
• Creative market research: Compare template popularity (likes, duplicates), tags, and categories.
• Trend tracking: Monitor which template styles and editors are gaining traction over time.
• Directory enrichment: Feed template metadata into internal design-asset catalogs or research tools.
• Analytics pipelines: Export structured template data for BI tools and dashboards.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, required): Figma Community design template category/search URLs, or direct template detail URLs.
• maxItems (integer, optional): Maximum number of templates to scrape per category/search start URL. Use 0 or leave empty to scrape all templates found.
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Apify proxy settings. Not required — the scraper works without a proxy.

Notes:

• If a startUrl is a Figma Community category/search URL (e.g. ending with /community/design-templates), the actor discovers template links from that page.
• If a startUrl is a direct template URL such as /community/file/<id>, the actor scrapes that template directly.
• maxItems is applied per category/search start URL; direct template URLs always return one item each.

Input Example

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.figma.com/community/design-templates?resource_type=files&editor_type=figma"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

The exact fields may vary by template because Figma does not expose every detail (e.g. tags, tagline) consistently on every listing.

Why use the Figma Templates Scraper?

• Focused: Built specifically for Figma Community design-template pages, not a generic Community crawl.
• Structured output: Ready-to-use JSON records for research, cataloging, and automation.
• Per-URL limits: maxItems is enforced per category/search start URL.
• Flexible input: Supports both category/search URLs and direct template URLs.
• Rich details: Extracts likes, duplicates, tags, category, and author profile data.
• Apify-native: Works with Apify datasets, request queue, proxy configuration, schedules, and API access.

FAQ

• How many templates can it extract? Controlled by maxItems per category/search start URL. Direct template URLs are scraped one by one.

• Do I need proxies? No. The scraper runs without a proxy. You can optionally add one (e.g. residential) if you hit anti-bot blocks at higher volume.

• Can I start from a direct template URL? Yes. Direct Figma Community template URLs are supported.

• Why are some fields empty? Some fields depend on what the template's creator filled in — tags, tagline, and description are optional on Figma and may be missing on some templates.

• What if Figma changes their website structure? The actor may require updates to keep extraction stable.
