# How can I get help articles in Markdown format?

Every Coolhand help article, category page, and product update is available in a Markdown format suitable for programmatic use. You can get the Markdown version of any page by appending `.md` to its URL, or by sending an `Accept: text/markdown` header with your request.

## Fetching Markdown content

Every help article, category listing, and product update page has a corresponding Markdown version. This is useful for developers who want to use the documentation in their own tools or with LLM agents. There are two ways to retrieve it.

### Append `.md` to the URL

The most direct way to get the Markdown version of a page is to add `.md` to the end of its URL path.

For example, to get the Markdown for the article at `/help/what-is-feedback-match-rate`, you would request:

```
https://coolhand.com/help/what-is-feedback-match-rate.md
```

Similarly, for a category page:
```
https://coolhand.com/help/category/feedback-and-prompts.md
```

### Use the `Accept` header

You can also request the Markdown format by sending an `Accept` header with the value `text/markdown` when requesting the standard HTML URL. The server will respond with a `303 See Other` redirect to the corresponding `.md` URL.

For example, a request to `https://coolhand.com/help/what-is-feedback-match-rate` with the `Accept: text/markdown` header will be redirected to `https://coolhand.com/help/what-is-feedback-match-rate.md`.

```bash
curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://coolhand.com/help/what-is-feedback-match-rate
```

## Content and links

The Markdown content is sourced directly from the same content as the HTML page, so it is always up-to-date.

Internal links within the Markdown content, such as `another-article-slug`, are automatically converted into full, absolute URLs. This ensures that the Markdown files are self-contained and that links will resolve correctly when used outside of the Coolhand help center.
