Patreon - phpBB connection

[nou nou]

Title/Job Description:

Build a bridge between Patreon and phpBB that automatically adds/removes users to/from a group based on Patreon membership/tiers.

Target audience: (e.g. professionals, hobbyists, students)

All of the above.

Reward: (e. g. money, backlinks, fame)

Money, or whatever the developer would prefer - open to suggestions. There is limited budget, my forum is not making any profit at the moment. Please do not take my inability to meet a pro level budget as ignorance of development rates - I know I often depend on goodwill. Anyone here willing to contribute to the same, please feel free to PM me.

Deadline:

No rush at all.

Preferred contact method: (e.g. PM, e-mail)

PM here is great, thank you.

Link to the board:

On request.

I’ll send you a PM later after I do some sanity checking to see what the Patreon API is like.

Yay!

I'll follow this, I'm REALLY needing this.

Any news?
Even a paypal monthly subscription would be very nice.

I looked into this for nou nou and the Patreon API is intentionally poor to try and keep people on-platform so I decided that it’s not worth it as it would be a sub-par experience. My payments extension supports subscriptions though (link in signature).

[Lord Phobos]

Great, I'll give it a look.

I absolutely need this. Most of what I'm building my phpbb for is designed by people with heavily trafficked Patreon accounts. They're going to want to be able to let their clients authenticate here (there) as well.

EDIT: Just at a glance.. the Patreon php/oauth API doesn't look overly complex, at all. Just at a glance, mind you. I'm actually shocked it doesn't look more complex, considering how many million people must use Patreon on a monthly basis.
