This isn't helpful now, but your use case is relevant to something I hope to pursue in the future: comprehensive mediawiki change events, including content. I don't have a great place yet for collecting these use cases, so I added it to Modern Event Platform parent ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185233 so I don't forget. :)

Dear all,
we have developed a tool that is (in some cases) capable of checking if formulae in <math/>-tags in the context of a wikitext fragment are likely to be correct or not. We would like to test the tool on the recent changes. From
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Recent_changes_stream
we can get the stream of recent changes. However, I did not find a way to get the diff (either in HTML or Wikitext) to figure out how the content was changed. The only option I see is to request the revision text manually additionally. This would be a few unnecessary requests since most of the changes do not change <math/>-tags. I assume that others, i.e., ORES
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ORES,
compute the diffs anyhow and wonder if there is an easier way to get the diffs from the recent changes stream without additional requests.
All the best Physikerwelt (Moritz Schubotz)
