# Markdown API **(FREE)**
Convert Markdown content to HTML.
Available only in APIv4.
## Required authentication
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/93727) in GitLab 15.3 [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `authenticate_markdown_api`. Enabled by default.
FLAG:
On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is enabled and authentication is required.
To remove the requirement to authenticate, ask an administrator to
[disable the feature flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `authenticate_markdown_api`.
On GitLab.com, this feature is available.
All API calls to the Markdown API must be [authenticated](index.md#authentication).
## Render an arbitrary Markdown document
```plaintext
POST /markdown
```

| `text` | string | yes | The Markdown text to render |
| `gfm` | boolean | no | Render text using GitLab Flavored Markdown. Default is `false` |
| `project` | string | no | Use `project` as a context when creating references using GitLab Flavored Markdown |
```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
--header "Content-Type:application/json" \
