Import a design file

If you want to see a complete example using the SDK, check out the Getting Started guide.

To read data from a design using Open Design SDK, it must first be imported. Open Design supports importing Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator designs.

Importing Figma designs

Importing Figma designs using a .fig file isn't currently supported. To import Figma designs, you'll need to generate a personal access token (scroll down to the section called "Generate a personal access token") and call the sdk.importFigmaFile() method.
