I want to get all the user notes for a user using the Discourse API. The notes are applied with [discourse-user-notes](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-user-notes).

Using [Get a user by id](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Users/operation/adminGetUser), I can see the `user_note_count` filed. However, I can’t seem to find the contents of the user note.

I want to attach information to a user such as the body of an email or main points of a video conference that staff have had with the user. I’m hoping to use the Discourse PostgreSQL data instead of creating a duplicate database with fields for notes.

I’m hoping to use the existing discourse-user-notes as it’s already built.

I have a separate desktop application for staff that uses the Discourse API and is written in Dart/Flutter using http requests to talk to Discourse.

I have no experience with Ruby.

Is there a way I can get information from this file that might be exposed as a HTTP API?
