Why raw?
This API endpoint does not match our normal JSON API format, but it could be very helpful in scripting/shell scripting.
For example, this short command imports a Keybase user's PGP keys into GPG using just cURL, and not the keybase command line app.
curl https://keybase.io/chris/pgp_keys.asc | gpg --import
Multiple keys possible
If a user has multiple proven PGP keys, this will include all of them
in one text file. That still works. If you'd prefer to target one of a user's
fingerprints, you may append ?fingerprint={fingerprint} to the URL.
For example:
curl https://keybase.io/chris/pgp_keys.asc?fingerprint=94AA3A5BDBD40EA549CABAF9FBC07D6A97016CB3 | gpg --import
CORS
Also note that this API call, along with both user/autocomplete and user/lookup is available via AJAX using CORS. Combining the three, you can search Keybase on any page on the web, present results to a viewer, and let them encrypt or verify.
