📄Create a Briefing Document from a PDF Upload

This snippet mirrors the PDF-based document recipe using an uploaded file ID.

// Requires .NET 7+ for raw string literals.
using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Text;

var token = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN") ?? "YOUR_API_TOKEN";
var fileId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("FILE_ID") ?? "YOUR_FILE_ID";
var endpoint = "https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/Create";

var payloadJson = $$"""
{
  "outputType": "briefing_doc",
  "format": "html",
  "resources": [
    {
      "type": "file",
      "content": "{{fileId}}"
    }
  ],
  "text": "Turn this uploaded report into an HTML briefing with headings, bullets, and a recommendations section."
}
""";

using var client = new HttpClient();
using var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, endpoint)
{
    Content = new StringContent(payloadJson, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")
};
request.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);

var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
var body = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
    Console.Error.WriteLine("Request failed: " + (int)response.StatusCode + " " + response.ReasonPhrase);
    Console.Error.WriteLine(body);
    Environment.Exit(1);
}

Console.WriteLine("Document request accepted:");
Console.WriteLine(body);

Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN (or set AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN) and FILE_ID before running.
