Steps to Add Slide Transition with Python REST API

  1. Set the credentials to create a SlidesApi object for adding transitions
  2. Upload the presentation to the Cloud storage for adding transitions

  5. Set the transition settings in the SlideShowTransition object
  6. Call the UpdateSlide() method to set a transition of the desired slide
  7. Save the output presentation with new transitions

These steps describe the process for adding the PowerPoint transitions with Python REST Interface. Upload the presentation, create a new skidded, add a new transition object to it, and set the desired properties in the presentation.
