One of my problems is treating feature requests like they are support requests. Oops, I’ve done it again. Sorry if this is no help.

So you want something like this: [https://meta.discourse.org/posts/1849580/raw](https://meta.discourse.org/posts/1849580/raw) or this: [https://meta.discourse.org/raw/381447](https://meta.discourse.org/raw/381447) or this [https://meta.discourse.org/raw/381447/1](https://meta.discourse.org/raw/381447/1)

Oh. You want the raw text from **all** posts in the topic.

This isn’t a solution, but an improved version of that is. But that doesn’t save very many clicks.

That’s pretty easy to automate with some command line tools. A clever one would get the json of the topic to see how many posts there were and then get them all, perhaps pausing to deal with rate limiting.

A theme component could give you links to the raw text for each post. A plugin could do what you want.
