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.
