# Visual Templates Create images and videos using pre-built templates with the [Create Visual API endpoint](https://help.blotato.com/api/create-video). ## How to Use Templates 1. Choose a template from the categories below 2. Copy the UUID from the template ID (e.g., from `/base/v2/quote-card/77f65d2b-48cc-4adb-bfbb-5bc86f8c01bd/v1`, use `77f65d2b-48cc-4adb-bfbb-5bc86f8c01bd`) 3. Send a POST request to `/v2/videos/from-templates` with the UUID as `templateId`, set `inputs` to `{}`, and describe what you want in `prompt` ### Example Request Use the `prompt` parameter to describe what you want. Set `inputs` to `{}`. AI fills in the template inputs automatically. Use the bare UUID as the `templateId` (not the full path). ```json POST https://backend.blotato.com/v2/videos/from-templates Content-Type: application/json blotato-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY { "templateId": "77f65d2b-48cc-4adb-bfbb-5bc86f8c01bd", "inputs": {}, "prompt": "Create 5 motivational quotes about entrepreneurship", "render": true } ``` ### LLM-Friendly Reference For LLM integrations, see [API Reference for LLMs](https://help.blotato.com/api/llm) for a plain text reference with all endpoints and parameters. *** ## Image Slideshows Create image slideshows with text overlays.
