I am playing around with python. To be specific:

> **[Client Challenge](https://pypi.org/project/fluent-discourse/)**

I am looking this API docs:

[Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Posts/operation/postReplies) / [Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Notifications/operation/getNotifications)

I am new (learning) with Python, and am trying to simply receive the posts if @UserA gets mentioned somewhere. I was thinking I need to get the post\_number from the notifications, and then query that post, to retrieve and store the post content.

From there I want to store that post content, as a data variable and from there experiment with some things.

A part of my code is this:

```plaintext
# lookup mentions
mention = client.notifications.json.get()

# print the posts
for post_number in mention:
    print(post_number)

```

The current output of this code:

```plaintext
notifications
total_rows_notifications
seen_notification_id
load_more_notifications

```

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am relatively new with API’s and even newer with Python. I have been working with this all day without success, if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be highly appreciated.
