Thank you for contacting us.

With Aspose.Slides REST APIs you can add any shape including Chart to a slide in a Powerpoint document.

You will use POST https://api.aspose.cloud/v1.1/slides/{name}/slides/{slideIndex}/shapes API to create chart.

The following cURL example adds Column Chart to the first slide of MyPresentation.pptx file:

// First get Access Token
// Get App Key and App SID from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/oauth2/token" \
-X POST \
-d 'grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=0B17F60A-6D69-426B-9ABD-79F35A6E9F7B&client_secret=53b8b19adffa41a3e87dbbd8858977ae' \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"
  
// cURL example to add Column Chart
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v1.1/slides/MyPresentation.pptx/slides/1/shapes" \
