# Create an Infographic from a Topic Prompt

Recreate the [topic-based infographic recipe](/quick-start/infographics/from-topic.md) with Java using `outputType: "infographic"`.

```java
// Requires Java 17+ (text blocks) and the java.net.http module.
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;

public class InfographicFromTopic {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String token = System.getenv().getOrDefault("AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN", "YOUR_API_TOKEN");
        String payload = """
{
  "outputType": "infographic",
  "topic": "How electric vehicle charging networks are expanding in cities",
  "text": "Keep it friendly for city planners and show two key stats plus one map-style callout.",
  "infographicOrientation": "portrait",
  "infographicDetail": "standard"
}
""";

        HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
        HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
                .uri(URI.create("https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/Create"))
                .header("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)
                .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
                .POST(HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString(payload))
                .build();

        HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());

        if (response.statusCode() >= 400) {
            System.err.println("Request failed: " + response.statusCode());
            System.err.println(response.body());
            System.exit(1);
        }

        System.out.println("Infographic request accepted: " + response.body());
    }
}
```

Remember to set `YOUR_API_TOKEN` (or `AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN`) before running.
