# Create a download artefact for an AutoGenerator deck

`POST /api/v1/autogenerator/download`

Synchronously merges all slides for the `callback_id` supplied in the
request body into a single presentation and returns a signed download
URL. The merge step can take up to 60 seconds. Subject to the
`AUTO_GEN_DOWNLOAD` usage limit in addition to the normal rate limits.

## Request body

- AutoGeneratorDownloadRequest — Request body for `POST /api/v1/autogenerator/download`.
  - `callback_id` string, required — Deck callback id to merge & download.
  - `sources` object — Source-attribution configuration for the merged output.
    - `add_sources_to_slides_note` boolean — Render source attributions in slide notes.
  - `speaker_notes` object — Speaker-notes configuration for the merged output.
    - `add_speaker_notes_to_slides_note` boolean — Merge speaker notes into slide notes.
    - `speaker_notes_type` string — Speaker-notes formatting style.

## Response `200`

Merged deck produced; signed URL returned.

- AutoGeneratorDownloadResponse — Response body for `POST /api/v1/autogenerator/download`. This endpoint does **not** use the canonical `success`/`data` envelope — the fields below are returned at the **top level** of the response body.
  - `message` string — Human-readable confirmation, for example "Slides merged successfully".
  - `status` 'success' — Merge status.
  - `output_file` string — Filename of the merged file.
  - `download_url` string, uri, required — Signed download URL.

## Other responses

- `400` — Generic client error. `error.code` is one of `BAD_REQUEST`, `INVALID_JSON`, `MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELD`, `MISSING_QUERY_PARAM`, `MISSING_CALLBACK_ID`, `MISSING_SLIDES_ARRAY`, `MISSING_PROMPT`, `MISSING_TEMPLATE_ID`, `MISSING_FILE_CONTENT`, `MISSING_SHARE_DETAILS`, `INVALID_TYPE`, `INVALID_DATA`, `INVALID_DATA_TYPE`, `INVALID_PAYLOAD`, `INVALID_REQUEST`, `API_REQUEST_FAILED`, or `FILE_UPLOAD_FAILED`.
- `401` — Caller did not present a valid Bearer token, or the token has expired. `error.code` is one of `UNAUTHORIZED`, `INVALID_API_KEY`, `EXPIRED_API_KEY`.
- `403` — Caller is authenticated but not allowed to perform this operation. `error.code` is `FORBIDDEN`.
- `404` — Requested endpoint or resource does not exist. `error.code` is one of `ENDPOINT_NOT_FOUND`, `RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND`, `NOT_FOUND`.
- `422` — Request was well-formed but failed semantic validation. `error.code` is one of `INVALID_INPUT`, `UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY`.
- `429` — Rate limit, usage limit, or gateway-level throttle exceeded. `error.code` is `TOO_MANY_REQUESTS` (gateway throttle), `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` (per-category), or `USAGE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` (annual quota). Default limits (all configurable per company/key): - Gateway throttle (per API key) → `TOO_MANY_REQUESTS`: 10 requests/second sustained, 5 burst, 1,000 requests/day. - Per-company, per-category sliding 60-second window → `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`. The applicable category is given by each operation's `x-rate-limit-category`. - Annual usage quota → `USAGE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`: 50,000 slide generations/year and 1,000,000 presentation downloads/year. `X-RateLimit-Limit`/`X-RateLimit-Remaining`/`X-RateLimit-Reset` are returned on successful (2xx) responses from rate-limited endpoints and, with `Retry-After`, on the per-category `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` 429 (the headers declared below). The gateway `TOO_MANY_REQUESTS` and annual `USAGE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` responses do not carry them. Read `X-RateLimit-Remaining` to self-throttle and honour `Retry-After` on a 429.
- `500` — Unexpected server error. `error.code` is `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`.
- `503` — Service is temporarily unavailable (downstream dependency unhealthy). `error.code` is `SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE` or `EXTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR`.
- `504` — A downstream call timed out. `error.code` is `GATEWAY_TIMEOUT`.
