Questions tagged [google-slides-api]

Google Slides lets you create, edit, collaborate, and deliver presentations using compelling themes and fonts, embedded video, charts, animations, and more.

Apps can integrate with the Google Slides API to create beautiful slide decks automatically from user- and system-provided data.
