FAQ
Can it log into my app?
Yes. Create credentials with POST /v1/agent/credentials, then pass options.auth.source: "default" to use the domain default credential, or options.auth.source: "saved" with options.auth.id to use a specific saved credential in POST /v1/agent/runs.
How long does recording take?
Most runs complete in under 5-10 minutes, depending on the total length of the video. Very long demos can take 20+ minutes. The create call returns run_id; poll GET /v1/agent/runs/:id until status is succeeded or failed.
What format is the output?
Use GET /v1/agent/runs/:id/artifacts to list outputs, stable artifact name values, and download URLs. Public outputs are raw.mp4, demo.mp4, and plan.json. Additional run artifacts may be retained internally for debugging, but they are not returned from the public API.
Is there a rate limit?
Concurrency depends on your plan and current runner capacity. Contact us if you need higher-throughput queues.
Can I call it from another agent?
Yes. Slideshot is built for agent-driven workflows, with API-key auth and SKILL.md support for terminal agents, CI pipelines, and automations.
