I saw many feature requests. But can we use API to create a simple post (can also select tiers) on Patreon now? ---

Unfortunately the api does not publicly support write operations yet. ---

Is this likely to happen? We give patrons early access to content on our website and I’d like to be able to notify patrons of this automatically when it happens by creating a post via the Patreon API. ---

If you are syncing your posts from Patreon to your site, (like the WP plugin does), you can do that by having a notification plugin at your WP site and then posting a post at Patreon. The post will be synced to your site, which will notify users when post is published. However if you want to notify all patrons, you may need to sync all of their accounts to your site (or Mailchimp etc) ---

No, we’re not syncing posts from Patreon to my site. We’re using the API to match email addresses and automatically promote members of my site if they are patrons. My site is [AVForums.com](http://AVForums.com) and I when we publish content (news, review or article) which is patrons have early access to, I want to automatically create a post on Patreon to let our patrons know about it. ---

Ah, that. Currently the public api does not provide write operations, so that’s not possible. The other way is possible, however - you can post at Patreon and get it automatically synced to your site. ---

Any update on this? I’m looking to post Python output to Patreon automatically. Anyone know of a site similar to Patreon that allows me to do this? ---

There still isnt any change regarding this - posts can be synced from Patreon to your app. ---

Me too. I have 100+ links to post, and I don’t want to do that manually… ---

I would also be very happy if this is possible, then I would not have to upload all my pictures manually. An API to create simple posts would make handling my Patrion account a lot easier ---

Is this at least in the plans to be created any time soon? It’s difficult to make a useful web app for creators using only GETs. I really need to be able to create posts as well as read them. ---

Would love to have this feature as well! I’m prototyping an app on which users can post to multiple platforms at the same time, and Patreon is on the list. ---

This feature would be a massive help for my patreon. I write programs to handle as much social media posting from one place as I can and adding patreon would be a huuuuge help. Us solo creators get really swamped with posting on different platforms. Would love to see this feature. ---

+1 on this It would be insanely useful for me to be able to create and edit Patreon posts and tier permissions using an API. I am building a website ([SnowingPine.com](https://snowingpine.com)) for authors to post advance (early access) chapters in, and internally I can already automatically update each chapter’s permissions to the new access level per tier. Being able to also do that for Patreon would save each author _hours_ of time. Right now, posting a chapter on Patreon with three tiers while not wanting to notify them all for unrelated chapters is as follows: Make the first, latest, post for the highest tier. Then, count back to find the appropriate chapter to unlock for the next lowest tier. Remove all tier permissions except for that specific tier, set to notify, and save. Then you re-edit it and add the rest of the higher tiers that have access and save without notify. Repeat for each tier down. (It gets old fast) Having a program automatically calculate which chapter to edit and then do so through an API would simplify all of that down to literally just posting the latest chapter on my website, and then it handling the rest. ---

I’ve been using the Patreon post editor to create updates for my patrons, but the difficulty of formatting code or drafting _any_ formatting off-site (say, in a plain text editor such as the Drafts app on the Mac, while I am disconnected from the Internet) made me start looking around for a way to create these programmatically after formatting them myself. If there’s no way to do this I think I’m going to have to move my text posts somewhere off-site. The built-in edior is simply missing too many features. ---

Just to add and keep this topic alive: it would be absolutely wonderful to have this feature in Patreon to allow for a more content-specific way of preparing the posts in existing content systems before publishing them. This has been requested since at least 2018 ([Endpoints for posting content - #3 by blarghmatey](https://www.patreondevelopers.com/t/endpoints-for-posting-content/918/3)) and I really hope that, at some point, Patreon’s developers and product owners would realize the power this could give creatives … [Next page](https://www.patreondevelopers.com/t/can-we-use-api-to-create-simple-posts/4542.md?page=2)
