# Create an Infographic from a Topic Prompt

Match the [topic-based infographic recipe](/quick-start/infographics/from-topic.md) using Node.js and `outputType: "infographic"`.

```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: "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"
};

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}`);
  }

  const result = await response.json();
  console.log("Infographic request accepted:", result);
}

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

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