How to get post attributes

jamieernest · March 15, 2021, 10:38am

Hello, I am pretty new to the patreon API and I am trying to make a JS application to parse data from a post. The API mentions how to make a GET request to get a post by its id, but when I do that it just gives me a 200 and doesnt give me any attributes. I am aware that in API v2 I have to provide what attributes I would like, but https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/posts/{id}?fields=url,title still returns me a 200 with no attributes, so what syntax should I use to get the attributes?

Patreon WordPress already has a good implementation of post syncing. You can use its logic to port to your app:

github.com

Patreon/patreon-wordpress/blob/36a690f778fc0cb704be325d521e7c26f4fa5c5b/classes/patreon_api_v2.php#L122


						'id' => -1,

						'type' => 'reward',

				)

			);

			

		}

		

		return $result;

	}



	public function get_posts( $campaign_id = false, $page_size = 1, $cursor = null ) {

		

		// Gets posts of relevant campaign

		

		if ( !$campaign_id ) {

			$campaign_id = get_option( 'patreon-campaign-id', false );

		}

		

		$request = 'campaigns/'. $campaign_id .'/posts?page%5Bcount%5D=' . $page_size;

		

		if ( isset( $cursor ) ) {

That is for the api call. Webhook call should be in the same file.

github.com

Patreon/patreon-wordpress/blob/36a690f778fc0cb704be325d521e7c26f4fa5c5b/classes/patreon_routing.php#L611


			} else {
				
				$redirect = add_query_arg( 'patreon_message', 'no_code_receved_from_patreon', wp_login_url() );
				wp_redirect( $redirect );
				exit;
				
			}
			
		}
		
		if ( strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/patreon-webhooks/' ) !== false ) {
			
			// First slap the noindex header so search engines wont index this page:
			header( 'X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow' );
			 
			// Make sure browsers dont cache this
			header( 'cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0' );

			// Abort if apiv ersion used is not v2
			$api_version    = get_option( 'patreon-installation-api-version', '1' );

That is for receiving the webhook from Patreon for new posts.

github.com

Patreon/patreon-wordpress/blob/36a690f778fc0cb704be325d521e7c26f4fa5c5b/classes/patreon_wordpress.php#L2906


			if ( is_wp_error( $attachment_id ) ) {
				// Insert any error handling here
				return false;
			}
			
			return $attachment_id;
			
		}		
		
	}
	public function check_post_sync_webhook() {
		
		if (is_admin()) {
			return;
		}
		
		$api_version = get_option( 'patreon-installation-api-version', '1' );

		if ( $api_version != '2' ) {
			return;
		}

And thats the logic which creates the webhook.

github.com

Patreon/patreon-wordpress/blob/master/classes/patreon_content_sync.php

<?php


if( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit; // Exit if accessed directly
}

// Houses the admin pointers class and added admin pointers

class Patreon_Content_Sync {

	public function __construct() {
	}
	
	public function import_posts_from_patreon( $args = array() ) {
		
		// This function performs a full import of posts from Patreon using cron
		
		// Check if the site uses api v2. If not, abort.

The above file is where post sync logic is kept and how posts are synced.

Sorry I think you got what I meant wrongly… What I mean was I was trying to use this function to get some data from the post i.e. title, content etc (the app recieves a link from the user and it sends the data via discord), and for example the syntax for getting address info about a user is https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/members/{member_id}?fields[address]=line_1,line_2,addressee,postal_code,city what would be the equivalent for getting info about a post?

		}

		

		if ( $campaign_id ) {

			return $this->__get_json( $request );

		}

		

		return false;

		

	}

		

	public function get_post( $post_id ) {

		return $this->__get_json( 'posts/' . $post_id . '?fields[post]=title,content,is_paid,is_public,published_at,url,embed_data,embed_url,app_id,app_status' );

	}

	

	public function add_post_webhook( $params = array() ) {

		

		// Contacts api to create or refresh client

		// Only uses v2

		

		if ( !isset( $params['campaign_id'] ) ) {

			$params['campaign_id'] = get_option( 'patreon-campaign-id', false );

Square brackets are not valid?
