# Kite Platform API

> One small REST API for running Kite from your own code — augment robot datasets on cloud GPUs today, train and evaluate policies soon.

The Kite Platform API runs the platform from your own code. Today that means **augmentation**: point Kite at a teleoperation dataset, describe a visual change in plain language, and get back new episodes as a standard LeRobot dataset — generated on cloud GPUs you never have to manage. Training and simulation evaluation are coming to the API next.

Start with the [quickstart](/quickstart) to run your first augmentation, or read [authentication](/platform-api/authentication) to create an API key. Every endpoint is listed in the [API reference](/platform-api/api-reference).

<Tip>
  Prefer a terminal or an AI assistant? The same platform is available through the [Kite CLI](https://kiteml.com/docs/cli) and the [Kite MCP server](https://kiteml.com/docs/mcp), which share this API's authentication.
