SlideShare Connector
Intro
LinkedIn SlideShare is a slide hosting service that allows users to upload presentations for private or public viewing. Use Domo's SlideShare connector to retrieve lists of slideshows, contacts, favorites, and tags. To learn more about the SlideShare API, visit their page (https://www.slideshare.net/developers).
You connect to your SlideShare account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the SlideShare connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To connect to your SlideShare account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
-
A SlideShare API key
-
A SlideShare shared secret
To obtain credentials, you will need to apply for a SlideShare API key. You can do that here: https://www.slideshare.net/developers/applyforapi
Connecting to Your SlideShare Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the SlideShare Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your SlideShare account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:
Field |
Description |

API Key | Enter your SlideShare API key. |

For information about obtaining these credentials, see "Prerequisites," above.
Once you have entered valid SlideShare credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new SlideShare DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
