# Read the Little Worker API docs

Your own programs can give work to your workers, and the new API docs show how, with examples in three languages.

The Little Worker API lets your own programs make a worker, give it a task,
follow what it does and read the result. Its docs are at
platform.thelittleworker.com. The Quickstart takes about five minutes, and
every example comes in curl, TypeScript and Python.

Start by making a key in the web app's **Settings**, under API keys.

If a program calls the API without a key, the answer now says where to get
one, and thelittleworker.com/auth.md walks a program through the steps.
