`POST /v1/functions/markdown` with your API key returns `text/markdown; charset=utf-8` — more options than here, such as your own proxy or a browser of your choice. [All markdown fields](https://cdpfleet.com/docs/functions/markdown).

## Free tool limits

-   **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](https://cdpfleet.com/community) 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](https://cdpfleet.com/community) is free, and [paid plans](https://cdpfleet.com/upgrade) add more.
