Find number in a text for if statement

[BitbyBit]

As stated by buran, that doesn't look like a string. So I'll help as if it's not a string :)

Try this:

if "bids" in text:
    if any(99 == bid["price"] for bid in text["bids"] if "price" in bid):
        print("go")
    else:
        print("not 99")
else:
    print("invalid text")

Actually I think it is indeed Json data at the source. I didn't really know much about that :(

But your code works actually pretty neat, so thank you!
