## Example 1: AI-Powered with Prompt

Use the `prompt` parameter to let AI fill in the slide prompts automatically.

Content-Type: application/json
blotato-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

{
  "templateId": "53cfec04-2500-41cf-8cc1-ba670d2c341a",
  "inputs": {},
  "prompt": "Create a 5-slide Instagram carousel about the dangers of smoking with vivid infographic-style images",
  "render": true
}
```

## Example 2: Manual Inputs

Specify each slide prompt for full control.

Content-Type: application/json
blotato-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

{
  "templateId": "53cfec04-2500-41cf-8cc1-ba670d2c341a",
  "inputs": {
    "slidePrompts": [
      "A dense infographic on dangers of smoking",
      "A vibrant infographic on benefits of meditation",
      "A colorful chart showing daily exercise statistics",
      "A minimalist diagram of healthy eating habits"
    ],
    "model": "nano-banana-pro",
    "aspectRatio": "4:5"
  },
  "render": true
}

{
