Blink Google Slides

blink connector exec google_slides /files GET \
'{"q": "mimeType=\"application/vnd.google-apps.presentation\"", "fields": "files(id,name,createdTime,modifiedTime)", "pageSize": 20}'

}
}]
}'
Add text to a slide element

Embed a Google Sheets chart in a slide
Unlike Google Docs, the Slides API DOES support createSheetsChart:
blink connector exec google_slides /presentations/PRESENTATION_ID:batchUpdate POST '{
"requests": [{
"createSheetsChart": {
"spreadsheetId": "SPREADSHEET_ID",
"chartId": CHART_NUMERIC_ID,
"linkingMode": "LINKED",
"elementProperties": {
"pageObjectId": "SLIDE_OBJECT_ID",
"size": {"width": {"magnitude": 5000000, "unit": "EMU"}, "height": {"magnitude": 3000000, "unit": "EMU"}},
"transform": {"scaleX": 1, "scaleY": 1, "translateX": 500000, "translateY": 500000, "unit": "EMU"}
}
}
}]
}'
Get the chart's numeric ID from Sheets: blink connector exec google_sheets /spreadsheets/SPREADSHEET_ID GET '{"fields":"sheets.charts"}'
Refresh an embedded Sheets chart
blink connector exec google_slides /presentations/PRESENTATION_ID:batchUpdate POST '{
"requests": [{"refreshSheetsChart": {"objectId": "CHART_OBJECT_ID"}}]
}'
NOTE: Google Docs does NOT support createSheetsChart
Only Google Slides has createSheetsChart. The Google Docs REST API has no equivalent —
use insertInlineImage with a chart image URL as a workaround in Docs.
