Create your first task in seconds

Get started

Get an API key

Create your free account and get an API key when you set up your project.

Make your first API call

You can use the terminal, an API client like Postman, or a language specific client to make your first API call.

curl -X POST "https://api.ittybit.com/tasks" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ITTYBIT_API_KEY" \
-d '{"url": "https://ittyb.it/sample.mp4", "kind": "description"}'

This will create a new task, and when it's complete, you'll have an AI generated title, description, and tags for the video.

Explore the docs

Now that you've made your first API call, you can explore the docs, browse the API reference, or install an SDK to add ittybit to your project in minutes.

Then try out different Tasks, using the links below as a reference.


Tasks

AI & LLMs

All docs pages include a button to copy the page as markdown, and a button to view the page as markdown (you can also add .md to the end of URLs).
