Documented steps
Use a token with library_content:read for file-level calls and/or team_library_content:read for team-level calls. Docs: https://developers.figma.com/docs/rest-api/scopes/
For one file's published assets, call GET https://api.figma.com/v1/files/:file_key/components, .../component_sets and .../styles with 'X-Figma-Token: <PAT>'. These three take no query params and are not paginated. Docs: https://developers.figma.com/docs/rest-api/component-endpoints/
For a whole team's libraries, call GET https://api.figma.com/v1/teams/:team_id/components, .../component_sets and .../styles.
Paginate the team-level endpoints with page_size (default 30, max 1000) plus the after/before cursor params.
Read meta.cursor.after (or meta.cursor.before) from each response and pass it back as after/before to walk the full set.
Read results from meta.components[], meta.component_sets[] or meta.styles[] — entries carry key, file_key, node_id, name, description, thumbnail_url (components and sets), created_at, updated_at and the publishing user; styles add style_type and sort_position.
Join each result's file_key back to the output of GET /v1/projects/:project_id/files to attribute an asset to its source file.
To resolve a component's actual geometry, feed its file_key and node_id into GET /v1/files/:file_key/nodes?ids=<node_id>.
Handle 400, 403 (wrong scope) and 404 (team or file not found or not accessible).
Known gotchas
page_size defaults to just 30 on the team-level endpoints. An inventory script that ignores the cursor silently stops after 30 assets and reports a design system far smaller than it is — raise page_size (max 1000) AND follow meta.cursor.after.
Only PUBLISHED library assets are returned. Components and styles that exist locally in a file but were never published are absent; to see those you must parse the raw document tree from GET /v1/files/:file_key.
Branch files cannot publish, so a branch key returns no library assets.
File-level endpoints are unpaginated and return everything at once; page_size and cursors apply ONLY to the team-level variants.
Team-level calls need team_library_content:read, which is a distinct scope from the file-level library_content:read — a token with only one gets a 403 on the other even though it can read the file itself.
These are Tier 3 endpoints — the most permissive tier (10/min View seats up to 150/min Enterprise Dev/Full) — but polling a large multi-library design system still trips 429s (https://developers.figma.com/docs/rest-api/rate-limits/).
