Extract Shapes from a Slide Using a Third Party Storage

Introduction

This article shows you how to extract shapes from a slide in PowerPoint presentation saved to third-party storage. The code examples below use GetShapes method described in Get Shapes from a Slide.

You need to configure third-party storage with Aspose Cloud before using these examples. Follow the instructions at this page to configure your required storage.

Examples

Read information about all shapes placed on the second slide from MyFolder/MyPresentation.pptx document saved to Google Drive Storage. The storage is called MyGoogleStorage in Aspose Cloud.

SDKs

Using an SDK (API client) is the quickest way for a developer to speed up development. An SDK takes care of a lot of low-level details of making requests and handling responses and lets you focus on writing code specific to your particular project. Check out our GitHub repository for a complete list of Aspose.Slides Cloud SDKs along with working examples, to get you started in no time. Please check Available SDKs article to learn how to add an SDK to your project.
