Automate annoying media stuff

What is Ittybit?

Ittybit helps you handle all the annoying parts of video, audio, and image files.

Ittybit provides a single consistent API for managing media:

  • Files - The easiest way to upload/ingest media files, store them securely, and deliver via global CDN
  • Tasks - Run powerful actions like transcoding, resizing, and extracting rich intelligence data with a few lines of code
  • Automations - Quickly build robust media workflows that scale to millions of files (without you having to build infrastructure)

The founding team distilled their combined 35 years of experience in video and media technology into an API that's easy to start with, fun to learn, and very powerful when you are ready.

Make your first API calls from the API reference, or install an SDK to add ittybit to your project in minutes.


Quickstart

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/files" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ITTYBIT_API_KEY" \
-d '{"url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4"}'

This will ingest the file and return a file object.

Explore the docs

Now that you've made your first API call, you can explore the docs or explore the API reference to learn more about the different endpoints and how to use them.
