Get image and the last Patreon post

Friendly Help
1

Hi there, I’m using the API to get posts from a creator I’m working for but I need help.

I want to get the latest post and the header image in it, but I can’t get any of it. Most of the time I only receive the really first post of the account and no image.

Here’s my code if it can help:

require(“dotenv”).config();
const axios = require(“axios”);
const cheerio = require(“cheerio”);

const PATREON_ACCESS_TOKEN = process.env.PATREON_ACCESS_TOKEN;
const PATREON_CAMPAIGN_ID = process.env.PATREON_CAMPAIGN_ID;

async function getLatestPatreonPost() {
try {
const res = await axios.get(
https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/campaigns/${PATREON_CAMPAIGN_ID}/posts?sort=-published_at&page[count]=1&fields[post]=title,content,url,image,
{
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${PATREON_ACCESS_TOKEN},
“User-Agent”: “SocialsBot/1.0”,
},
}
);

let posts = res.data.data;
if (!posts || posts.length === 0) {
  console.log("[Patreon] Aucun post récupéré.");
  return null;
}

console.log("[Patreon] Liste des posts (debug) :");
posts.forEach((post, index) => {
  console.log(
    `${index + 1}. ${
      post.attributes.title || "(No Title)"
    } | published_at: ${post.attributes.published_at} | status: ${
      post.attributes.status
    } | is_pinned: ${post.attributes.is_pinned}`
  );
});

if (posts.length === 0) {
  console.log("[Patreon] Aucun post publié trouvé.");
  return null;
}

// Trier localement par date de publication (décroissant, sécurité)
posts.sort(
  (a, b) =>
    new Date(b.attributes.published_at) -
    new Date(a.attributes.published_at)
);

const latestPost = posts[0];
if (!latestPost) {
  console.log("[Patreon] Aucun post final trouvé.");
  return null;
}

const postId = latestPost.id;
const title = latestPost.attributes.title || "(No Title)";
const url = `https://www.patreon.com/posts/${postId}`;

// Essayer d'obtenir l'image principale
let image = latestPost.attributes.image?.large_url || null;

// Si pas d'image principale, fallback : parser le contenu HTML pour trouver une <img>
if (!image && latestPost.attributes.content) {
  console.log(
    "[Patreon] Contenu HTML brut du post :",
    latestPost.attributes.content
  );
  const $ = cheerio.load(latestPost.attributes.content);
  image = $("img").first().attr("src") || null;
}

console.log("[Patreon] Dernier post trouvé :", title);
console.log("[Patreon] URL :", url);
console.log("[Patreon] Image :", image || "Pas d'image");

return { id: postId, title, url, image };

} catch (err) {
console.error(“[Patreon Fetcher] Erreur :”, err.response?.data || err);
return null;
}
}

module.exports = { getLatestPatreonPost };

Thanks for your help
