work with HTML-rendered messages but might need to occasionally fetch
the message's raw markdown (e.g. for pre-filling a message-editing
UI).
Usage examples
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import zulip
# Pass the path to your zuliprc file here.
client = zulip.Client(config_file="~/zuliprc")
# Get the raw content of the message with ID "message_id"
result = client.get_raw_message(message_id)
print(result)
curl -sSX GET -G https://zulip.dioco.io/api/v1/messages/42 \
-u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY
Parameters
message_id required in path
Example: 42
Response
Return values
raw_content
: The raw content of the message.
Example response
A typical successful JSON response may look like:
{
"msg": "",
"raw_content": "**Don't** forget your towel!",
"result": "success"
}
An example JSON response for when the specified message does not exist or it
is not visible to the user making the query (e.g. it was a PM between other
two users):
{
"code": "BAD_REQUEST",
"msg": "Invalid message(s)",
"result": "error"
}
