Hello,

Is it possible to get the private key from a Bitcoin raw transaction?

Thank you in advance,

You can't obtain private key just from R, S or Z value (which is part of ECDSA used by Bitcoin) alone, otherwise someone will exploit it and Bitcoin will be worthless.
It's different case if you're talking about software vulnerability such as re-use k value, which can be used to extract private key. See https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/35848 for more info.
