How do I view the JSON behind a Google Slide? - google-slides-api

Question

I want to know what elements of a slide can be changed programmatically; one way to understand what's going on would be to look at the JSON behind slides. I have the slides ID but haven't figured out how to look at it in any way except the standard wysiwyg editor.

For the whole presentation, you can check this documentation.
JSON representation
{
"presentationId": string,
"pageSize": {
object(Size)
},
"slides": [
{
object(Page)
}
],
"title": string,
"masters": [
{
object(Page)
}
],
"layouts": [
{
object(Page)
}
],
"locale": string,
"revisionId": string,
"notesMaster": {
object(Page)
},
}
And for each page, you can refer to REST Resource: presentations.pages.
JSON representation
{
"objectId": string,
"pageType": enum(PageType),
"pageElements": [
{
object(PageElement)
}
],
"revisionId": string,
"pageProperties": {
object(PageProperties)
},
// Union field properties can be only one of the following:
"slideProperties": {
object(SlideProperties)
},
"layoutProperties": {
object(LayoutProperties)
},
"notesProperties": {
object(NotesProperties)
},
"masterProperties": {
object(MasterProperties)
},
// End of list of possible types for union field properties.
}
