# Quickstart

Let's talk about how to make your first API call using LILT's API. This should take about 5 minutes and by the end you will know all of the available languages that LILT can localize your content into.

## What you need to start:

First you will need to retrieve your Organization's API Key from the LILT User Interface.

Log in to the LILT Application as an Administrator. You should see a screen like this. Then you can click on the Cog in the Bottom Left:

From there you can access the API Key in the Organization Settings:

Then you copy the API Key into your favorite API Platform like Postman, Datadog, etc...

Congratulations, now you have everything you need to make your first Api call to LILT.

## Making your first API Call!

As a first step at LILT, you should examine the languages available for Language Translation. To do this we will access our [languages](/api-reference/languages/retrieve-supported-languages) end point. This end point is a good starting point as all you have to think about is authenticating.

To authenticate for the public LILT endpoint all you need is the LILT provided API Key from earlier.

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.lilt.com/v2/languages?key={Your API Key here}
```

Then you should see a response that looks something like this:

```json theme={null}
{
"source_to_target": {
"en": {},
"...": "..."
},
"code_to_name": {
"aa": "Afar",
"ab": "Abkhazian",
"af": "Afrikaans",
"...": "..."
}
}
```

Congratulations on making your first API call with LILT!
