Good job!
But why are you doing calls to /teams/ when you have all information inside /files/:fileid response.
You get style "id", e.g. "2:2"
And then you can search for
"styles":{
"fill":"2:2"
}
and see the RGB of the parent object (you take the first one)

it is not exactly for current figma-api, if you need to convert rgb to hex, you need to multiply on 256 and after to take first seven symbols from result :

function rgbToHex(r, g, b) {
  const color = '#' + ((1 << 24) + (r << 16) + (g << 8) + b).toString(16).slice(1);

  if (color.length > 7) {
    return color.slice(0, 7);
  }
  return color;
};

 const hex = rgbToHex(r * 256, g * 256, b * 256);

Thanks a lot for your blog post and script! It now also works without getting the Team API endpoint. This can be useful if the personal token only has limited access.
Also added a recursive search for rectangles and ellipsis to make allow deep-nested color fields.

Thanks so much for publishing this! It's a huge gift. Out of curiosity, why not loop through all pages in the file?

Thanks for sharing this. I am wondering what would be the best way to export as RGB (or RGBA), instead of HEX values.
Would it be possible? I only see the option to export as HEX values in the code above 😇

@ivancantarino Adjust this line to not call rgbToHex:

color: rgbToHex(r * 256, g * 256, b * 256),

oh awesome! Thanks for the fast reply @brookback!
