No attributes when getting posts

Friendly Help
1

I’m using the Patreon PHP Api to get all the posts from my patreon page and it is working sort of.
I’m getting the posts and Id’s but when i ask for the post data i don’t get any attributes.
I don’t know what i’m doing wrong. Can someone help me?

People, you can see documentation for publish, update, delete webhooks here:

https://docs.patreon.com/#triggers-v2

You must specifically request various fields which you need when using api v2.

Here is what WP plugin uses to get a post details that will be in the upcoming post sync feature:

?fields[post]=title,content,is_paid,is_public,published_at,url,embed_data,embed_url,app_id,app_status

That does not work. I’m using the Patreon API PHP Library.

5

Are you using a v2 token with v2 endpoints?

6

Yes, I’m getting attributes now but i’m only getting the first 20 posts

7

I really only need the last comment every time because i’m storing them in my own DB.

The get_posts function in api class in the upcoming post sync feature in WordPress plugin is an example of how to paginate posts:

You can use that example to request other pages. Also the api doc for pagination helps:

https://docs.patreon.com/#pagination-and-sorting

When i add ?sort=created to the end of campaigns/{$campaign_id}/posts and change it between created and -created it does nothing to the order.
What am i doing wrong?

Ordering may or may not have been implemented for posts endpoint. You should try different ordering methods out.

11

So what should i use to get the first posts from patreon?

12

Just check out the functions get_posts and get_post in upcoming post sync branch of WP plugin:

They are working examples that you can use to get posts.

As i said, ordering may not have been implemented, so it may not work.

13

Is there a method for retrieving comments on a post? I did not see this in the API docs nor libraries.

14

Comments, tags, attachments etc are not yet supported at posts endpoint.

Thank you, @codebard !

I am curious: will webhooks be implemented at some point in the future for new published posts and post updates?

It feels like a webhook approach would work well for NEW and updated stuff and calling the API directly for existing/archive stuff to populate WordPress or other site.

Webhooks are already implemented for new posts and updates?
