Google Slides API integration with managed OAuth. Create presentations, add slides, insert content, and manage slide formatting. Use this skill when users want to interact with Google Slides. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# Google Slides

Access the Google Slides API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage presentations, add slides, insert text and images, and control formatting.

Quick Start

# Create a new presentation
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'title': 'My Presentation'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-slides/v1/presentations', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/google-slides/{native-api-path}

Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Google Slides API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `slides.googleapis.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)

2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)

3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Google OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=google-slides&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'google-slides'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

**Response:**

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "google-slides",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Google Slides connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'title': 'My Presentation'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-slides/v1/presentations', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Code Examples

JavaScript

// Create a presentation
const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-slides/v1/presentations',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ title: 'My Presentation' })
  }
);

const presentation = await response.json();
const presentationId = presentation.presentationId;

// Add a slide
await fetch(
  `https://gateway.maton.ai/google-slides/v1/presentations/${presentationId}:batchUpdate`,
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      requests: [
        {
          createSlide: {
            slideLayoutReference: { predefinedLayout: 'TITLE_AND_BODY' }
          }
        }
      ]
    })
  }
);

Python

import os
import requests

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'
}

# Create a presentation
response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-slides/v1/presentations',
    headers=headers,
    json={'title': 'My Presentation'}
)
presentation = response.json()
presentation_id = presentation['presentationId']

# Add a slide
requests.post(
    f'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-slides/v1/presentations/{presentation_id}:batchUpdate',
    headers=headers,
    json={
        'requests': [
            {
                'createSlide': {
                    'slideLayoutReference': {'predefinedLayout': 'TITLE_AND_BODY'}
                }
            }
        ]
    }
)

Notes

Object IDs must be unique within a presentation

Use batchUpdate for all modifications (adding slides, text, shapes, etc.)

Multiple requests in a batchUpdate are applied atomically

Sizes and positions use PT (points) as the unit (72 points = 1 inch)

Use `replaceAllText` for template-based presentation generation

IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing

IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |

|--------|---------|

| 400 | Missing Google Slides connection |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 404 | Presentation not found |

| 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Google Slides API |

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with `google-slides`. For example:

Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/google-slides/v1/presentations`

Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/slides/v1/presentations`
