Question 1

What is Microlink?

Accepted Answer

A single API that turns any URL into data: screenshots, PDFs, markdown, metadata, rendered HTML, search results, or the return value of your own browser code. You call an endpoint. We run the browsers, the cache, and the CDN behind it, so there is nothing to install or scale on your side.

Question 2

Can I use Microlink for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free plan gives you 25 requests a day on every product except Search, with no API key and no credit card. Just call the free endpoint. It has limits to prevent abuse: burst rate, concurrency, and the daily quota. Enough for small projects and low-volume usage.

Question 3

Can my AI agent use Microlink?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Install the Microlink MCP server with one config block and Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client gets screenshots, PDFs, markdown, search, and more as callable tools. The free tier works out of the box for every tool except Search; add an API key for Search or when you need volume.

Question 4

What’s the difference between the free and paid plans?

Accepted Answer

Pro is built for production: higher quota, better performance, and features such as headers, ttl, or proxy, plus access to Search. It comes with an API key and a monthly quota. Not sure how much you need? Start with the smallest Pro tier and upgrade the moment you need more.

Question 5

How do I get an API key?

Accepted Answer

Once you buy a plan you get access to dashboard.microlink.io, where you will find your API key. Attach it to every request: In the Microlink SDK, as apiKey. In the Microlink API, as a header.

Question 6

Can Microlink handle my traffic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The platform is built for production workloads and the bursty traffic agents generate: retries, loops, and parallel fan-outs. Our record for a single enterprise deployment is 188 million requests in one month, with more than 6 million requests a day sustained. No need to warn us before a spike or throttle on your side; your quota is the only limit.

Question 7

How fast is it?

Accepted Answer

The first request renders the page in a real browser. Repeat it and the result comes back from the edge cache in milliseconds. Cache hits never count toward your quota, and the ttl parameter controls how fresh the response needs to be.

Question 8

What’s your SLA level?

Accepted Answer

Our SLA commitment is 99.9% uptime on every paid plan. You can see the live status of the service.

Question 9

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from dashboard.microlink.io, no questions asked. We also notify you when you reach 80% of your quota, so you can move up before you hit the limit.
