Filtering Private Components (starting with a . or a _)

  1. If you want to ignore / filter private components that start with a . or _, change the FILTER_PRIVATE_COMPONENTS variable to true. Thanks to lennertVanSever for their contribution to this

Limitations

Figma API has a fixed number of requests (rate limits) you can call per minute. This script will process a 20 requests per 45 seconds to avoid hitting that limit.
