Is it possible to get raw files at BitBucket?

GitHub offers direct access to files in public repositories by using a link like https://raw.github.com/user/repository/branch/filename. Using a link like this and CURL or WGET I may get a file in a public repository easily.

I recently moved some repositories I had at GitHub to BitBucket, since BitBucket offers me five private repositories for FREE, and FREE always seemed a lovely word for me. But it happens that I'm missing this feature in my public BitBucket repositories.

Is there a similar feature at BitBucket?

If so, what is the format of the URL to get a file?

The UI steps to get the raw file appear to have changed, but when I'm looking at a certain branch or commit, I have to click the 3-dot menu at the top right of the file diff, then click "View entire file".

Once I'm at the file, I click its 3-dot menu and select "Open in Source". That should take you to a page with the committed file version, but that may not be easy to copy-paste if you need to.

To view just the file contents as text on a web page, click the 3-dot menu at the top right of the file path, then select "Open raw". This makes it easy to select all text or get the full path.

it is easy to get plain text of any file using curl.

curl --user userName https://FQDN/repo_name/raw/fileName -o fileName

for example: URL for the target page in bitbucket: https://bitbucket.myDomain.com/projects/repos/repo/browse/myFile

will end with the following curl request: curl --user username https://bitbucket.myDomain.com/projects/repos/repo/raw/myFile -o targetFile

Yes. https://bitbucket.org/<account>/<repo-name>/raw/<commit-sha-or-HEAD>/<filename>

For this repo: https://bitbucket.org/pedrorijo91/hello-slick/src

Choose a a file (LICENSE for instance): https://bitbucket.org/pedrorijo91/hello-slick/src/fe7cfe392d8090fececdf481ba3a9270bbe678dd/LICENSE?fileviewer=file-view-default

and now click on the RAW button: https://bitbucket.org/pedrorijo91/hello-slick/raw/fe7cfe392d8090fececdf481ba3a9270bbe678dd/LICENSE

It seems bitbucket always adds a SHA before the file. You can specify the commit or HEAD seems to work also: https://bitbucket.org/pedrorijo91/hello-slick/raw/HEAD/LICENSE
