Create a new slideshow in the authenticated key scope. This is the core content creation endpoint - your OpenClaw agent or automation script generates slideshows here, then publishes them to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Facebook via Create Post. generate supports:
  • AI generation from a prompt/product context
  • manual initial slide setup (skip_ai=true)
  • mixed setup with explicit slide_config

​
Body Parameters

​
prompt
string
Prompt used for AI text generation. Required unless skip_ai=true or product_id is provided.
​
product_id
string (UUID)
Optional product reference. Must exist in the authenticated key scope.
​
pack_id
string (UUID)
Optional global image pack ID. Required whenever any generated slide uses image_pack and no per-slide pack_assignments are provided.
​
slide_count
number
Optional target slide count (1-10). Default: 5.
​
slideshow_type
string
Optional: educational or personal. Default: educational.
​
aspect_ratio
string
Optional: 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5. Default: 4:5.
​
language
string
Optional language hint (2-32 chars).
​
advanced_settings
object
Optional text styling defaults.
​
skip_ai
boolean
Optional. When true, generation skips AI text creation and uses your slide_config input.
​
slide_config
object
Optional explicit per-slide setup.
All slide_config map keys must be 0-based numeric indices in range. image_pack slides must resolve a pack via pack_id or pack_assignments[index].
