New API call to retrieve Slideshow Information on Slideshare

We have rolled out a new API call which retrieves metadata for any slideshow on Slideshare. By passing the slideshow ID or the Slideshare URL, the API call can return slideshow details such as

- The slideshow ID, Title, Description, Embed Code, doc (passed to player), Total number of slides

- Slideshow Language, Complete URL of the slideshow, User ID of Slideshow owner, Login of slideshow owner

- Comma separated list of Related slideshow id’s, URL of the slideshow’s thumbnail and the slideshow’s tags.

For complete details and documentation, visit the Developers Documentation page

We are hopeful that this new call will make it easier for developers to write better applications using the Slideshare API. We would love to hear your feedback about this new API call and suggestions about any new addition you would like to see on the API front.
