Try this code. It works. Paste it into a simple HTML file and open it in your browser. Remember that when uploading files, the enctype='multipart/form-data' is required.
<form>
<input name="api_key" type="hidden" value="api_key" />
<input name="ts" type="hidden" value="ts" />
<input name="hash" type="hidden" value="hash_for_above_ts" />
<input name="username" type="hidden" value="username" />
<input name="password" type="hidden" value="password" />
<input name="slideshow_title" type="hidden" value="Whatever title" />
<input name="slideshow_srcfile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Oops. There seems to be a problem with getsatisfaction.com. The code I mentioned got changed when posting. In the form tag, use the following parameters:
action="http://www.slideshare.net/api/1/upload_slideshow"
method="post"
enctype='multipart/form-data' -
Inappropriate?thanks - but does it have to be through a form?
I want to automate this by having a script which sends the location of the powerpoint file on my server to slideshare and then returns me the converted .fla file details to me from slideshare.
Doing it the way you mention above implies someone has to physically browse for the file and then click "submit" on the form.
i am not sure what the point of an API is then?
