Hi!

I’ve created a side navigation:

Here’s the website:

> **[La Tranchée = Communauté + Coaching + Formation](https://forum.latranchee.com/)**
>
> Pour marketeurs & entrepreneurs trop ambitieux!

I’m using this endpoint to fetch and parse the categories: [https://forum.latranchee.com/categories.json](https://forum.latranchee.com/categories.json)

Right now, I’m showing the number of new post this week.

However, I’d prefer if I could show the number of unread and new posts, as is displayed on the category page.

Any ideas on how I could get those data?

Have you tried using:

```js
api.container.lookup("site:main").categories

```

to fetch the Categories? There are a couple more properties using this approach.

For example, I see there are `unreadTopics` and `newTopics` per each category object.
