With the SlidesGPT API, you can create a presentation by sending a request with a prompt. The API will generate slides based on your input.

​
Request Example

Send a POST request to: 
https://api.slidesgpt.com/v1/presentations/generate

​
Sample Code (cURL)

curl -X POST "https://api.slidesgpt.com/v1/presentations/generate" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"prompt": "Introduction to Machine Learning"}'

​
With Custom Template (Optional)

To use your own branded PowerPoint template, include a templateId in your request. Learn how to upload and manage custom templates in our Custom Templates Guide. 
curl -X POST "https://api.slidesgpt.com/v1/presentations/generate" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "prompt": "Introduction to Machine Learning",
       "templateId": "YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID"
     }'

​
Sample Code (JavaScript)

async function generatePresentation(prompt, templateId = null) {
  const body = { prompt };
  if (templateId) body.templateId = templateId; // Add custom template ID

  const response = await fetch("https://api.slidesgpt.com/v1/presentations/generate", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  })
  return response.json();
}

// Generate with default theme
await generatePresentation("Introduction to Machine Learning");

// Generate with custom template
await generatePresentation("Q4 Business Review", "YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID");
Note: You must include your API key in the Authorization header. If you don’t have one, follow the steps in the Authentication Guide to get your API key.
