Render Markdown to HTML with tables, footnotes, fenced code and heading anchors.
Input
Send either a text string or a file object. A file is decoded as UTF-8 and must be one of text/markdown, text/plain.
Response
The result carries your remaining balance alongside it, so you can track spend without a second call.
{
"text": "<h2 id=\"a-section\">A Section</h2>…",
"sanitized": true,
"request_id": "37f01edb-0163-42a1-ac51-0acaef979800",
"credits_remaining": 96
}
Cost
2 credits per call, whether it is run from the site or from the API — the credential differs, the price does not. A new account starts with 20 credits.
A rejected request still costs a credit: the authorizer decrements before the tool validates. A call rejected for a missing or invalid key is free.
Parameters
Generated from the endpoint’s own validation, so this is exactly what it accepts. A body field goes at the top level; an option goes inside options.
| Name | In | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sanitize | options | boolean | true | Strip unsafe inline HTML. On by default — leaving it off renders whatever HTML the Markdown contains. |
