Getting Markdown for a post using API

It’s easy to get all kinds of information about a post on a Discourse instance using the Discourse API. We can even get the entire text of a post as HTML in it’s “cooked” form. Is it possible, though, to get the original Markdown that was typed in to generate the post via the API?

This theme-component will add a raw button

Thanks for the response. My question, though, is can I access the original Markdown via the Discourse API?

I am not sure with the API but this is another method of getting raw post.

And a topic with similar request.

I think you are talking about the topic/SLUG/id.json endpoint?

If so, then by adding ?include_raw=true to the endpoint the JSON for the posts in the topic will include raw.
