How to find authentication token and file_key

[marcmacias96]

what should be entered in file_key?

Hi ! As stated in the Figma API documentation :

1. Login to your Figma account.
2. Head to the Account Settings from the top-left menu inside Figma.
3. Find the Personal Access Tokens section.
4. Click Create new token.
5. A token will be generated. This will be your only chance to copy the token, so make sure you keep a copy of this in a secure place.

Hi, I got the token but how do I get the file_key?
The documentation to get the file_key is poor.

You still can not use because on the page only generates the token and still do not understand what is the file_key

"To get your file key, simply extract it from url."

If you get the web link to your figma file, it should look something like: https://www.figma.com/file/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/Sample-File

Where those XXXXX's are, is the file key :)

I am seeing a CORS error:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://api.figma.com/v1/files/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?geometry=paths'
from origin 'https://aloisdeniel.github.io' has been blocked by 
CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Any idea how to fix this?
