Hello [@everyone](https://forum.confluent.io/groups/everyone). I’m new here and I need help with using Apache Kafka in Python. I already have the microservice for handling requests, decisions and appprovals for the multistep approval project I am working on. But now i’m stuck at intercepting the request and posting it to kafka. I’m new to this and I’d appreciate any help.
Regards
Veronica

Here are a few resources to get started:
- [Blog](https://www.confluent.io/blog/event-driven-microservices-with-python-and-kafka/) that seems to match your event pattern, just with pizza
- [Apache Kafka for Python Developers](https://developer.confluent.io/courses/kafka-python/intro/) course
- Python client [quick start](https://developer.confluent.io/get-started/python/)
- `confluent-kafka` client [documentation](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/clients/confluent-kafka-python/html/index.html)
