# Create a Quiz from a Topic Prompt

Implements the [topic-based quiz recipe](/quick-start/quizzes/from-topic.md) with `outputType: "quiz"`.

```python
import os
import requests

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

payload = {
    "outputType": "quiz",
    "topic": "Trends in renewable energy storage",
    "text": "Write 10 questions aimed at college-level students.",
    "quizDifficulty": "medium",
}

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

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