What is Paint By JSON?

It is a Figma plugin that allows designers to pull live data from REST APIs and map it directly onto their Figma design layers.

You paste a JSON URL, map the specific paths within the JSON to your layer names, save that configuration as a 'Palette', and then apply it to your frames.

Do I need to know how to code?

No, the tool is designed to make binding real API data to mockups as easy as using lorem ipsum, focusing on a designer-friendly workflow.
