Export articles (HTML, Markdown, JSON)
Download any article as HTML, Markdown or JSON straight from the editor — the JSON is the same object your webhook receives.
Every article can be downloaded directly from the content editor, no integration required. This is the fallback for sites Climb AI doesn't publish to directly, and a way to inspect exactly what a webhook delivery would contain before wiring one up.
Where to find it
Open an article in the content editor and use the Export menu in the top bar — it links directly to the HTML, Markdown, and JSON downloads for that article.
Formats
| Format | File | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| HTML | <slug>.html | The article body as raw HTML — the same markup Climb AI would publish |
| Markdown | <slug>.md | An H1 title line followed by the body converted to Markdown |
| JSON | <slug>.json | The full article object, pretty-printed |

data in a webhook's article.published event — see Webhook. If you're building against the JSON export, you're also building against the webhook payload.Download filename
The downloaded file is named after the article's slug (falling back to its title, then "article") with anything other than letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores stripped out, capped at 80 characters — served with Content-Disposition: attachment so it downloads rather than opens in the browser.
