Upload-only publishing

Build slides anywhere. Publish them here.

There is no browser editor. Create an API key in your account, then upload Markdown decks and images with curl, your own tooling, or a coding assistant pointed at /mcp.

Required fields: title, client, and date. New decks default to private.

Upload a deck

curl -X POST https://slides.standouthost.com/api/v1/decks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLIDES_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"slug":"quarterly-review","markdown":"..."}'

Set access to public when you are ready to share. Private decks can get link passwords from your account.

Upload images

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLIDES_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@diagram.png" \
  https://slides.standouthost.com/api/v1/decks/quarterly-review/images
