    No, unfortunately /2/files/export doesn't support exporting as Markdown, nor is there another way do that in a 'paper_as_files' account, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

    Update: the /2/files/export endpoint now supports exporting .paper files as Markdown.

I think that you have missed something during magiration. You can check document and save name in lower case.

    Yes, to clarify, as linked above, exporting a Paper doc as Markdown from an account with the new Paper setup is possible manually via the web site. The original request here is for the ability to do so programmatically, via the API, which is not currently possible.
