# What is Roboflow Rapid?

[Roboflow Rapid](https://rapid.roboflow.com/) lets you go from raw data to a ready-to-use object detection API in five minutes.

To get started with Rapid, all you need is a short video or a few images.

You can then upload your video or images and label them using text prompts or by drawing bounding boxes around objects you want to identify.

You can then train a Rapid model which will learn to identify objects based on the ones you labeled.

Your Rapid model will be available as an API endpoint you can use in any programming language you like. You can also customise your API endpoint by editing it in the Roboflow Workflows.
