Figma is a great tool, but one feature it's lacking is the ability to bulk export design assets.
If you have a large project with tens of icons and you want to export them all, you have to do it one by one.
Luckily, there is a solution to this problem.
Access Tokens
Personal access tokens allow you to access Figma API and perform actions on behalf of the user.
This is a great tool for automating tedious tasks in those large Figma projects with hundreds of icons.
