1- Can we include Figma variables in a script? 2- Is there a way to add Palette.json and Semantic.json files in some way?

  1. Which variables? Which script?
  2. What is Palette.json and Semantic.json?

This is how Figma variables and variable modes look like, and it seems like this feature request is relevant for me as well.

I forked figma-export and tried to implement Variables import functionality similarly to Styles import. But it fails with error 403 saying "Limited by Figma plan". After reading docs more deeply, I realised you need Enterprise Figma plan to access variables via REST API (Whyyyy!??). So using this new feature does not look so attractive anymore, as it gets 6 times more expensive than staying on Professional plan and continue using Styles 😅.

@fedulvtubudul by any chance could you make your fork public to see your changes? 😅 or any plans on the team making it work with variables?

fedulvtubudul commented 3 months ago

@sashensingh08 no chance, as I can't test it. This feature is not available for Professional plan we use: https://www.figma.com/developers/api#variables

If someone will give me access to Enterprise-limited feature, I'll give it a try. @chrissantamaria @figmel @jfirebaugh @klin-figma @nlevin @reiddraper @Slava @thehandsomepanther
