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. For example, you could use customer details from a database and combine them with predesigned templates and selected configuration options to create finished presentations in a fraction of the time it would take to create them manually.
