Reorder Slides in a PowerPoint Presentation using Aspose.Slides Cloud REST API

[mufeel]

Thank you, that worked and I was able to merge multiple presentations. I am exploring your api through : Developer Guide|Documentation but having issues:

At the moment, I am trying to change the order of slides in a presentation but it keeps failing. the request is :

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v1.1/slides/blank.pptx/slides?oldPosition=3&newPosition=4" \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer xxxx"

The file exists in the storage and I am not specifycing the slide numbers out of bound, but I get an error:

HTTP Error 411. The request must be chunked or have a content length.

Could you please let me know what the issue is and also if you have an updated curl documentation for me to try out the other sections

You may test Aspose.Slides REST APIs using Swagger UI. It lets you run the APIs right from your browser.

Okay will try that out, but can I know the issue with the the curl request I made as ultimately I will have to boil it down to pure curl in order to integrate with our application

curl -v “https://api.aspose.cloud/v1.1/slides/blank.pptx/slides?oldPosition=3&newPosition=4” 
-X POST 
-H “Content-Type: application/json” 
-H “Accept: application/json” 
-H “Authorization: Bearer xxxx”

The file exists in the storage and I am not specifycing the slide numbers out of bound, but I get an error:

HTTP Error 411. The request must be chunked or have a content length.

The problem is not with the API, but with your cURL request. Please add header Content-Length: 0 in your cURL request, as shown below:

// cURL example to change order of slides
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v1.1/slides/sample-input.pptx/slides?oldPosition=3&newPosition=1" \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Length: 0" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxx"

More examples of the similar APIs are given here:

@remolaubacher POST /slides/{name}/slides API serves number of purposes. Following are some of the examples of the API: Add a first slide of presentation ‘Cardio2_DEU_v2.pptx’ to ‘sample-input.pptx’ at position 3. Parameter values are: name = sample-input.pptx slideToCopy = 1 position = 3 source = Cardio2_DEU_v2.pptx and the Output File: sample-input_Output.pptx Changing position of a slide from 3 to 1 POST https://api.aspose.cloud/v1.1/slides/myPresentation.pptx/slides?oldPositio…

Hi

Is it possible to change multiple positions of slides in one API call, I am currently using

/v1.1/slides/filename.pptx/slides?oldPosition=1&newPosition=2

Would like to know if its possible to pass an array or oldPositions and its corresponding newPositions?

Regards

Unfortunately, at present, we do not provide an API that let you reorder multiple slides in one API call.

We have logged the request (SLIDESCLOUD-542) in our internal tracking software for the implementation of this feature. We will update you here as soon as the feature is implemented.

We are pleased to inform you that we have introduced an API that let you reorder multiple slides in a presentation in one API Call. Please use POST /slides/{name}/slides/reorder API for the said purpose.
