# Set Document Format and Language

This snippet mirrors the [format and language recipe](/quick-start/documents/set-format-and-language.md).

```javascript
// Requires Node.js 18+ for the built-in fetch API.
const token = process.env.AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN ?? "YOUR_API_TOKEN";
const endpoint = "https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/Create";

const payload = {
  outputType: "briefing_doc",
  topic: "State of AI procurement in healthcare",
  text: "Keep it suitable for hospital executives and procurement teams.",
  format: "html",
  language: "español"
};

async function run() {
  const response = await fetch(endpoint, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(payload)
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    const errorText = await response.text();
    throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}\n${errorText}`);
  }

  console.log("Document request accepted:", await response.json());
}

run().catch(error => {
  console.error(error);
  process.exit(1);
});
```

Set `YOUR_API_TOKEN` (or `AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN`) before running.
