Control NextSlide with an API
Every NextSlide presentation comes with its own control links - simple web links that move the slides forward or back. Anything that can open a link can drive your show: a Stream Deck, an automation tool, or your own hardware. No code to write, no keys to configure - copy a link and you're wired in.
What you can do with it
The API is friendlier than the name suggests. Each presentation gets its own control links - simple links that move the slides forward or back. Open one and the slides move on every screen at once. That makes it easy to run slides alongside other show cues, wire up a hardware controller, or automate a show. If you can open a web link, you're qualified. Get started free →
1. Grab your presentation's control links
Open your presentation and find the share menu. Copy the API control links - no keys to create, no settings to dig through. The links belong to that one presentation, and you can revoke and regenerate them whenever you want.
2. Trigger the links from your tools
If a tool can open a web link, it can drive your slides. Give a control link to a Stream Deck button, an automation tool, a short script, or your own hardware, and trigger it - the slide moves on every screen at once. Each tool wires up a little differently, so follow its own steps for "open a URL" or "send a web request". Want a quick test first? Paste the link into a regular browser tab - the slide advances the moment it loads.
Comfortable in a terminal? The same link works from any script - one line is the whole integration:
# paste your advance link from the share menu
$ curl "https://app.nextsuiteapp.com/api/nextslide/presenter/<id>/move?direction=next"
-> slide advances on every screenKeep your links private
Treat control links like presenter links: anyone who has one can drive the presentation. Share them only with the systems that need them, and regenerate them if a link gets out.
