It’s been nearly a year, but here’s how I extract a pledge history. I think it was a formatting issue with my specific request.

> **Code**
>
> ```
> def get_pledge_history(self):
> access_token = self.creator_access_token
> api_client = patreon.API(access_token)
> campaign_id = api_client.get_campaigns(page_size=1).json_data['data'][0]['id']
> total_members = 1
> cursor = None
> members = []
> pledge_data = []
> while len(members) < total_members:
> suffix = "campaigns/{}/members?include=pledge_history&fields[pledge-event]=" \
> "date%2Ctype%2Cpayment_status%2Ctier_title&fields[member]=email".format(campaign_id)
> if cursor:
> suffix += ("&page[cursor]={}".format(cursor))
> response = requests.get(
> "https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/{}".format(suffix),
> headers={
> 'Authorization': "Bearer {}".format(access_token),
> 'User-Agent': "Patreon CGT",
> }
> )
> 
> campaign = response.json()
> members += campaign['data']
> try:
> pledge_data += campaign['included']
> except KeyError:
> print("No members found")
> pagination = campaign['meta']['pagination']
> try:
> total_members = pagination['total']
> print("Downloading members {}/{}".format(len(members), total_members), end="\r", flush=True)
> cursor = pagination['cursors']['next']
> except KeyError as e:
> break
> 
> ```

Edit: Formatting
