Upload a Google Slides link to create a **template** or **library** within your organization.
        
        - **Template**: Ideal for creating reusable slide formats.
        - **Library**: Suitable for comprehensive collections of slides.
        
        **Processing Time**: Depending on the number of slides, processing may take a few minutes (e.g., 50 slides may take approximately 3 minutes). If upload speed is a concern, please contact us to discuss optimization options.
        
        **Text Box Handling**:
        - `reset_text_boxes=false`: Automatically identifies and captures text placeholders enclosed in brackets (`[`, `]`).
        - `reset_text_boxes=true`: Resets all text to placeholders, converting all text boxes into placeholders regardless of existing formatting.

The **Generate Deck** endpoint creates a slide deck based on user-defined parameters that specify its content and structure. Upon successful creation, the endpoint returns a link to the deck along with execution details. Unlike the POST `/v3/generate/deck/task` endpoint—which immediately returns a deck generation task for polling—this endpoint waits until the entire deck has been rendered before sending the response.

Generate Slide(s)

The **Deck Generation Task** endpoint initiates a deck creation process and returns a task ID for polling its status. This endpoint mirrors the functionality of the POST `/v3/generate/deck` endpoint, but it immediately returns a deck generation task for status polling rather than waiting for the deck to render completely.

Generate Slide(s) Via Task (Async)

Get the completed deck link and metadata given a task ID.
    Usage:
    1. Use the POST `/v3/generate/deck/task` endpoint to generate a task.
    2. Poll this GET `/v3/generate/deck/task/{task_id}` endpoint to check the status of the task.

    Responses:
    - *200 OK* : If the generated deck is completed. It provides the response including a link to the deck.
    - *202 Accepted* : The deck is still generating. Body is empty. Poll again in ~5 seconds.
    - *404 Not Found* : The task id is not found or not available for your account.
    - *422 Unprocessable Entity* : There is some error with the request.
