# Python REST API to Process Presentation in Cloud
This repository contains Aspose.Slides Cloud SDK for Python source code. This SDK allows you to [process & manipulate PPT, PPTX, ODP, OTP](https://products.aspose.cloud/slides/python) using Aspose.slides Cloud REST APIs in your Python applications.
You may want to check out Aspose free [Powerpoint to PDF](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion), [Powerpoint to Word](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion/ppt-to-word), [Powerpoint to JPG](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion/ppt-to-jpg), [Powerpoint to PNG](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion/ppt-to-png), [PDF to Powerpoint](https://products.aspose.app/slides/import/pdf-to-powerpoint), [JPG to Powerpoint](https://products.aspose.app/slides/import/jpg-to-ppt), and [PNG to Powerpoint](https://products.aspose.app/slides/import/png-to-ppt) converters because they are live implementations of popular conversion processes.
## Presentation Processing Features
- Fetch presentation images in any of the supported file formats.
- Copy the layout side or clone the master slide from the source presentation.
- Process slides shapes, slides notes, placeholders, colors & font theme info.
- Programmatically create a presentation from HTML & export it to various formats.
- Merge multiple presentations or split the single presentation into multiple ones.
- Extract and replace text from a specific slide or an entire presentation.

## How to use the SDK?
The complete source code is available in this repository folder. You can either directly use it in your project via source code or get [PuPi module](https://pypi.org/project/asposeslidescloud) (recommended).
## Prerequisites
To use Aspose Slides Cloud SDK for Python you need to register an account with [Aspose Cloud](https://www.aspose.cloud/) and lookup/create App Key and SID at [Cloud Dashboard](https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/#/apps). There is free quota available. For more details, see [Aspose Cloud Pricing](https://purchase.aspose.cloud/pricing).
### Installation
```sh
python -m pip install asposeslidescloud
```
### Sample usage
The example code below converts a PowerPoint document to PDF format using asposeslidescloud library:
```python
import asposeslidescloud
from asposeslidescloud.configuration import Configuration
from asposeslidescloud.apis.slides_api import SlidesApi
from asposeslidescloud.models.export_format import ExportFormat
configuration = Configuration()
configuration.app_sid = 'MyClientId'
configuration.app_key = 'MyClientSecret'
api = SlidesApi(configuration)
with open("MyPresentation.pptx", 'rb') as f:
document = f.read()
response = api.convert(document, ExportFormat.PDF)
print('My PDF was saved to ' + response)
```
