Is it possible to create an integration/plugin for Webflow that enables bulk upload of image assets from Figma/Sketch/Adobe? Can you please provide information on how to gain API access and the relevant technical documentation for this?

TL;DR
  • Webflow API does not support bulk uploads to the Asset Manager but allows CMS item management with image URLs.
  • Workarounds include uploading images to external storage (Google Drive, AWS S3, Cloudinary) and linking them in the Webflow CMS via API.
  • Generate an API token in Webflow’s Project Settings > Integrations > API Access to use the API for CMS content updates.
  • Refer to Webflow API Docs and authentication guides for API usage.
  • Automate image extraction from Figma, Sketch, or Adobe via APIs, upload to storage, and update Webflow CMS with image URLs.

1. Webflow API for Bulk Image Uploads

Webflow currently does not support direct bulk uploading of assets via its API. The Webflow API primarily allows for CMS content management, such as adding/updating CMS items with images, but does not provide direct access to the Asset Manager for bulk image uploads.

2. Workarounds Using the CMS

Although direct Asset Manager integration isn’t possible, you can:

  • Upload images to an external storage (such as Google Drive, AWS S3, or Cloudinary).
  • Use the CMS API to create or update CMS items with image URLs hosted on an external service.
  • Manually upload images to the Asset Manager after extraction from Figma, Sketch, or Adobe.

3. Gaining Webflow API Access

To use the Webflow API for CMS image management:

  • Sign up for a Webflow account at Webflow.
  • Access API Credentials in Project Settings > Integrations > API Access.
  • Generate an API Token, which will be needed for authentication when making requests.

4. Relevant Webflow API Documentation

5. Integrating with Figma, Sketch, or Adobe

For fetching images from design tools:

You can use scripts to export images from these tools, upload them to a storage service, and then link them to Webflow CMS entries.

Summary

Webflow does not allow direct bulk uploads to the Asset Manager via API. However, you can use the CMS API to manage items with externally hosted images. For full automation, integrate with Figma, Sketch, or Adobe APIs, upload assets to a third-party service, and update Webflow CMS with the image URLs.
