How to read in all vertices of a mesh (not necessarily static) in a level?

Using Unreal 4.22 (C++) I'd like to be able to chuck all the vertices of a mesh into an array to work with. I'm interested in these different levels of complexity:

a static mesh
a mesh that is changing with simple T/R/S transformations
a mesh that is deforming with animation (not necessarily with bones)

Does anyone know what I should be looking into for these? Any answers to any of those 3 appreciated.

Not sure why that last link doesn't work directly; you may need to copy & paste.
