Patreon Account Connection

Post by Moogie »

I'm sure I can't be the only one looking for this. It's probably the sort of thing I could have made myself when my brain worked better. I know Patreon have a set of files for PHP oAuth stuff but I don't have the ability to figure it out myself.

Basically hoping to find an extension which allows a user to connect their account to their Patreon account and keeps a note in the DB of their Patreon username and pledge tier. I would like to be able to automatically assign them to a group based on their pledge tier (I guess an admin panel to specify tiers and associated pledge levels would be handy - and I guess to include the API keys etc).

Ideally it would also include a cron to recheck their pledge regularly in case they cancel or change their pledge but I could probably cobble that part together myself if needed.

Has anyone put something like this together already? I couldn't find anything when searching, and all my Google searches do is refer me to the Patreon API/php stuff.

Thanks for reading đź’–

Thanks, I saw that but felt the request was different because it wanted Twitch included too.

Me me me! :D

I'd love to have this - I'm doing this manually now and it's a complete nightmare, people with different usernames, different email addresses, people being a Patron, then cancelling, then re-subscribing...

I looked at the other topic too but at least this one got one answer so I'm taking my chances here.

For completeness' sake here's the Patreon-php GitHub:

https://github.com/Patreon/patreon-php

It indeed doesn't need to be complex - instant access to a specific group when becoming a Patron, and check even once per month/two months (grace period) if people still are.

Found this Patreon integration plugin for Discourse, no idea if this is useful for anyone wanting to take this on?
