I tried use [https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/api/current\_user](https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/api/current_user) endpoint, I get **OAuthClientViewForbidden** error

If I use /api/oauth2/v2/identity endpoint to get memberId field to get member using /api/oauth2/v2/members/{id} endpoint I get **Unauthorized** error

These endpoint work’s only if I using Creator access token. But this solution bad work for me, since Creators Access Refresh Token and Creator’s token are constantly updated

This [https://docs.patreon.com/#fetching-a-patron-39-s-profile-info](https://docs.patreon.com/#fetching-a-patron-39-s-profile-info) docs says about getting patron’s profile info, but actually it is about getting the Creator’s profile. Because with a regular user or patron token, this endpoint returns an **OAuthClientViewForbidden** error

To get patron’s info using a non creator access token, you must have gotten the user give permission to you to create a token for it. Otherwise you cant.
