Link patreon with spigot java plugin

1

I am a spigot plugin developer. I want to link patreon with the ranks on my Minecraft server.
I have an idea of how I could do this, but have no idea how the patreon API works and if it would be possible for this purpose.

After someone subscribes to my patreon I would like some way of getting their Minecraft uuid. (A unique Id that each Minecraft account has)

To do this I would need the patreon subscriber to input their playername, and this be sent to my java plugin through an event, along with a unique code for their patreon account.

I can then use spigot to get the players uuid based on their name, and give them a rank.

I would then need another event to trigger when that person unsubscribes, and again I would be able to recognise it’s the same account, and I could get their Minecraft uuid from my database and then remove their rank.

How could I do this?

Having a custom integration with a db to keep track of your patrons would help. Ie, any setup - can be LAMP, Python, whatever.

Using that, you could have patrons authorize your integration and give you the input you need. Then the integration can modify the Minecraft server’s db.

Did you ever achieve this? This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and struggling to find.
