API Access
Pro and Team plans include access to the Twistly Presentation API — generate presentations from a topic, text, or file programmatically, outside PowerPoint. Full technical documentation: Presentation API.
Getting your API key
Open Settings → API key in the add-in (Pro/Team only).
Click Create key and copy it immediately.
Your key is shown only once. Twistly stores it in a form that can't be read back — if you lose it, no one can recover it, including us. Delete the old key and create a new one instead.
Key facts
Keys start with
ppsk_. Keep yours secret — anyone holding it can generate presentations on your account.One active key per account. To rotate, delete the existing key first, then create a new one. Deleting stops the old key working immediately.
The panel shows your key's prefix, creation date, and when it was last used — useful for checking whether an integration is alive.
Usage limits
100 presentation generations per 24 hours. Failed generations don't count.
Request rates: 60 generation requests and 600 status checks per minute.
API limits are separate from the add-in — using the API doesn't consume anything in the add-in, and an API key doesn't change your in-app plan limits.
The API accepts .pdf, .docx, .pptx, and .txt files. For request formats, status polling, and examples, see the Presentation API — and the Twistly MCP Server for AI-assistant integrations.
