Gamma Hello World
Overview
Minimal working example demonstrating core Gamma presentation generation functionality.
Prerequisites
- Completed
gamma-install-authsetup - 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}')
