How to render a Google Slides presentation via API and control / move slides?

I'm trying to render a Google Slides presentation in my web app and control it (move slides) using buttons on my web app.
If I embed it using iframe, then I can't send key/mouse events to that iframe since it's not the same origin, and I don't want to use Google's embedded control bar, since I need my own custom controls.

Therefor I'm trying to achieve this using the Google Slides API.
I found some relevant APIs like this one but I don't understand whether I can render the presentation in my DOM.
Is it possible to render an existing presentation and navigate / control it using the API?

There is a feature request for that API functionality

https://issuetracker.google.com/36760981

Go give it a ☆ if you want to see it implemented.

Please do not just comment "+1" - a star is enough

Workaround

  • Export it using the Drive API.
  • With the resulting images or PDF, create your own slide show functionality (I know, not ideal...but possible)
