# Set Explainer Video Language

This snippet recreates the [🌐 Set Explainer Video Language](/quick-start/explainer-videos/set-language.md) recipe using Python. Review the [Python guide](https://github.com/miguelpieras/autocontentapi-docs/blob/main/code-samples/python.md) for environment setup before running it.

```python
# pip install requests
import os
import requests


def main() -> None:
    token = os.environ.get("AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN", "YOUR_API_TOKEN")
    endpoint = "https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/Create"

    payload = {
        'outputType': 'video',
        'resources': [
            {
                'type': 'website',
                'content': 'https://example.com/ai-trends'
            }
        ],
        'text': 'Highlight the three most actionable takeaways.',
        'language': 'English'
    }

    response = requests.post(
        endpoint,
        headers={
            "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Accept": "application/json",
        },
        json=payload,
        timeout=30,
    )
    response.raise_for_status()
    print("Request accepted:", response.json())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

Replace `YOUR_API_TOKEN` (or set the `AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN` environment variable) before running the request.
