# Get a raw message
Get the raw content of a message.
`GET {{ api_url }}/v1/messages/<msg_id>`
This is a rarely-used endpoint relevant for clients that primarily
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
{start_tabs}
{tab|python}
{generate_code_example(python)|/messages/{message_id}:get|example}
{tab|curl}
```
curl {{ api_url }}/v1/messages/<msg_id> \
-u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY \
```
{end_tabs}
## Arguments
{generate_api_arguments_table|zulip.yaml|/messages/{message_id}:get}
## Response
#### Return values
* `raw_content`: The raw content of the message.
#### Example response
A typical successful JSON response may look like:
{generate_code_example|/messages/{message_id}:get|fixture(200)}
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):
{generate_code_example|/messages/{message_id}:get|fixture(400)}
