Feature suggestion - acquire Patreon posts

[aymm]

Am I seeing it correctly, that I cannot access posts for other people’s campaigns (even if I am a patreon for them), only my own?

[codebard]

You shouldnt be able to access someone’s own campaign posts as a patron of them.

Hay, I’m having the same problem have you found an solution for it?

https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/campaigns?include=creator&fields[campaign]=created_at,creation_name,discord_server_id,image_small_url,image_url,is_charged_immediately,is_monthly,is_nsfw,main_video_embed,main_video_url,one_liner,one_liner,patron_count,pay_per_name,pledge_url,published_at,summary,thanks_embed,thanks_msg,thanks_video_url,has_rss,has_sent_rss_notify,rss_feed_title,rss_artwork_url,patron_count,discord_server_id,google_analytics_id&fields[user]=about,created,email,first_name,full_name,image_url,last_name,social_connections,thumb_url,url,vanity,is_email_verified

Quarentine has kept me away from this project, but yes, I’m requesting the embed data. Post request URL looks like this:

https://patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/campaigns/9999999/posts?fields[post]=title,content,is_paid,is_public,published_at,url,embed_data,embed_url,app_id,app_status

The embed_url and embed_data for the returns are all null, despite the fact that three of the 4 are image posts.

[daemionfox]

I will make a note here, that looking at the Wordpress plugin, there’s no place where it calls the /posts api endpoint. I find calls for campaigns (7), current_user(4), identity (2), and clients (2)

[codebard]

You can try embedding a video url while making the test post (video post) and see if embed data will return when you request it.

[daemionfox]

blows off the dust

Yes, embed data for videos comes back, but not images. What am I missing?

[codebard]

Are you trying to get a featured image from an image post?

[daemionfox]

Yep. I just want the main image from an image post. Goal is to aggregate a list of posts (public & not) on the website to show readers what they could be getting if they support.

[codebard]

As far as i know, getting a featured image from an image post type is still not supported by the api.

[daemionfox]

That would be a good piece of information to put at the top of the /posts documentation. Maybe highlighted and in bold

[daemionfox]

Okay, @codebard here’s a wishlist for /post

• Type: I want to know if this is an image post, a text post, a video post, a poll, etc.
• Images: I want urls for the images, whether or not I can get to those images, different story.
• Tiers: I want to know what tiers this post is associated with.
• Tags: I’d like the tag list for this post

These are all pretty simple things that should be able to be given using the fields[post] call. Lets put a ticket in and get the API a little more useful

[daemionfox]

By the way, if any one is interested in a much simpler PHP library for collecting post and member data, you can use

daemionfox/patreon-feed

Version 3.0 and up are compatible with Patreon’s API

Do I have the same problem? Is there a solution?

[codebard]

In this case, you need to encode just the [ and ]s in your call string, and avoid encoding anything else.
