Overview

This node allows you to retrieve all posts from a specific Patreon campaign using the Patreon API. It is useful for automating workflows that need to collect, analyze, or process content published on Patreon campaigns. Common scenarios include archiving posts, generating reports, or integrating Patreon post data with other platforms.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically fetching and storing all posts from a campaign in a database.
  • Sending notifications or summaries of new posts to a Discord channel or email list.
  • Analyzing post engagement or content trends over time.

Dependencies

  • Patreon OAuth2 API credentials: You must configure the node with valid Patreon OAuth2 credentials in n8n.
  • External Service: Requires access to the Patreon API.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Campaign ID: If the provided Campaign ID is incorrect or does not exist, the node may throw an error such as "Not Found" or "Invalid campaign". Double-check the Campaign ID.
  • Authentication Errors: If OAuth2 credentials are missing or invalid, you may see errors like "401 Unauthorized". Ensure your credentials are set up correctly in n8n.
  • API Rate Limits: Patreon may enforce rate limits. If too many requests are made in a short period, you might receive a "429 Too Many Requests" error. Wait before retrying.
  • Network Issues: Errors related to network connectivity can occur if n8n cannot reach the Patreon API.
