# Control Orientation and Detail

Sets layout fields explicitly as in the [orientation/detail recipe](/quick-start/infographics/set-orientation-and-detail.md).

```python
import os
import requests

token = os.getenv("AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN", "YOUR_API_TOKEN")
endpoint = "https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/Create"

payload = {
    "outputType": "infographic",
    "topic": "Key milestones in quantum computing",
    "infographicOrientation": "square",
    "infographicDetail": "concise",
    "callbackData": "infographic-layout-test",
}

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

if response.status_code >= 400:
    raise SystemExit(f"Request failed: {response.status_code} {response.text}")

print("Infographic request accepted:")
print(response.json())
```

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