Image of question with post notice that says only "off-topic":
SE API query: To verify the close reason, look at the description in the closed_details. You actually have to look through the HTML, but that HTML renders as:
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
"Questions asking us to recommend or find a book, tool, software library, tutorial or other off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it." – Machavity, JL2210, Makyen, tripleee, Vadim Kotov

All of the other off-topic reasons state which reason it is in the post notice, except custom reasons. So, I'm assuming that the intent is to have this reason displayed in the post notice.
