Gamma Hello World

Overview

Minimal working example demonstrating core Gamma presentation generation functionality.

Prerequisites

  • Completed gamma-install-auth setup
  • Valid API credentials configured
  • Development environment ready

Instructions

Step 1: Create Entry File

Create a new file for your hello world example.

Step 2: Import and Initialize Client

import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';

const gamma = new GammaClient({
  apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
});

Step 3: Generate Your First Presentation

async function main() {
  const presentation = await gamma.presentations.create({
    title: 'Hello Gamma!',
    prompt: 'Create a 3-slide introduction to AI presentations',
    style: 'professional',
  });

  console.log('Presentation created:', presentation.url);
}

main().catch(console.error);

Output

  • Working code file with Gamma client initialization
  • Successful API response with presentation URL
  • Console output showing:
Presentation created: https://gamma.app/docs/abcd1234

Error Handling

Error Cause Solution
Import Error SDK not installed Verify with npm list or pip show
Auth Error Invalid credentials Check environment variable is set
Timeout Network issues Increase timeout or check connectivity
Rate Limit Too many requests Wait and retry with exponential backoff

Examples

TypeScript Example

import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';

const gamma = new GammaClient({
  apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
});

async function main() {
  const result = await gamma.presentations.create({
    title: 'My First Presentation',
    prompt: 'Explain the benefits of AI-powered presentations',
  });

  console.log('View at:', result.url);
}

main().catch(console.error);

Python Example

from gamma import GammaClient

client = GammaClient()

response = client.presentations.create(
    title='My First Presentation',
    prompt='Explain the benefits of AI-powered presentations'
)

print(f'View at: {response.url}')
