Try it
Check what a site shows in another country, test a page without exposing your own IP, or try cdpfleet's browsers by hand. With an API key the tab stays open longer, can be shared with someone by link, and hands its cookies back to your code.
The same from code
POST /v1/functions/livetab with your API key returns application/json — more options than here, such as your own proxy or a browser of your choice. All live tab fields.

- 20 runs a day and 2 at once per address, after a quick Cloudflare check.
- Runs on a shared cdpfleet browser through the free Community proxy in the country you pick; at busy times a run can take longer or ask you to retry.
- Public pages only: private and local addresses are refused. Up to 60 seconds per page.
- For more — your own threads, your own or residential proxies, any browser and phone devices — call the same functions with an API key; the Community plan is free, and paid plans add more.
