category template accessing topic from API

[loopyNid]

i am trying to get a topic name from the category termplate with subcategories.

so i get from the api:

{
   "cid" : 5 ,
   "name" : .......
   "........." : 
  .
  .
  .
  .
  "children" : [
      {
         "cid": 6 ,
         "name" : .........
         .
         .
         .
         .
         "posts" ; [
            {
               "pid" : 9,
               "timestamp" :.....

when i try to access anything after posts (for example " children.posts.user.username")
i get an empty space.
is there a way to access this?

thx in advance

What template code are you trying?

[loopyNid]

right now i have
<h1>{children.posts.pid}</h1>
in the partials/category/subcategory.tpl
i also tryed {children.posts.topic.slug} and nothing.
i want to mention that {children.name} works but nothing inside posts.

thx for the response

i dont know if it has something to do with this but i am modifing material theme.

I need more context than that. With what you have, you'd need these surrounding it somewhere in your template:

<!-- BEGIN children -->
  <!-- BEGIN children.posts -->
    <h1>{children.posts.pid}</h1>
  <!-- END -->
<!-- END -->

Alternatively, you might just try {children.posts.0.pid}
