# Create a Slide Deck from Text

Implements the [text-based slide deck recipe](https://docs.autocontentapi.com/quick-start/slide-decks/from-text) with `outputType: "slide_deck"`.

```python
import os
import requests

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

payload = {
    "outputType": "slide_deck",
    "resources": [
        {"type": "text", "content": "Internal memo on the new analytics rollout, timeline, and launch messaging."}
    ],
    "text": "Build a 10-slide deck with an executive summary, timeline, risks, and next steps.",
    "duration": "default",
    "slideDeckFormat": "detailed",
}

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("Slide deck request accepted:")
print(response.json())
```

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