Seems like the Patreon staff doesn’t really care about helping developers. It’s like you don’t even want us to use your platform. I look at the questions, and Patreon doesn’t seem to address them at all. Why even provide this forum?

Hey @nsethi ! I would love your help with a pretty specific problem if you have any bandwidth. This is something I’m sure tons of creators would benefit from knowing how to do. I find it extremely cumbersome to constantly download a CSV into the sheet I manage to keep track of my Patrons. Zapier did not work for me, though I would rather understand how to access the raw data anyway so I can automate a number of workflows instead of just one at a time.

I’ve poured over the API docs but there are some things I’m still really unclear about. The app has access but I still see a 401 error - so something is wrong here. Am I close? How do I get the names of pledges to a specific campaign so I can add the information you get from downloading the csv into my spreadsheet? I referenced this amazing article by Ben Collins where…

@jameslanman curious what went wrong with the Zapier API - that’d probably be the best route for getting your data into the spreadsheet! we’d be happy to take a closer look if that’s causing issues.

regarding accessing raw data, your best bet is to set up an API client. there’s a ton of info on how to do this if you’ve got a developer handy! [https://docs.patreon.com/#introduction](https://docs.patreon.com/#introduction)

Hey, thanks for the response. I poured over the developer docs for hours and couldn’t get it to work in Google Sheets with a Google Apps Script. So I think my issue is specific to that. Not sure if you saw the post I included but maybe someone with more intimate knowledge of the API can see where I’m going wrong? See above: Integrating Patreon with Google Sheets.

Zapier is fine but it’s cost prohibitive to use for more than four basic tasks. I know what I’m asking is a favor but if it’s not a difficult thing for anyone on your end to sort, even if you could just point me in the right direction outside of reading the docs, I would really appreciate it.

@nsethi So I am wanting to do some unique thing using the webhooks.

Basically I want to use the webhooks themselves and allow the owner of the discord configure what list of roles they want to give users based on their “tier”.

And to also remove the roles if the payment is not 100% successful. (like if they refunded, etc.)

However it seems to require querying the actual user which can be a pain in the butt.

>
> I think the Documentations need to include C#. Also I been having issues with getting the info from the webhooks. Yes It is easy to make an [asp.net](http://asp.net) core webapi that can be used for webhooks. However now inside that API I want to get the status of every person’s pledge (or at least their last failed state to check it without having to somehow get it from requesting the user’s individually). I think it is a flaw on that system and I think other than that the non-deprecated hooks are alright. I me…

And the related source code (well parts of the [asp.net](http://asp.net) code). The rest of the code can be auto generated so ye:  
[Discord reward roles never removed when payment is declined - #5 by Decorater](https://www.patreondevelopers.com/t/discord-reward-roles-never-removed-when-payment-is-declined/324/5)

If only the webhook tester provided a mockup of like a fake user, fake campaign filled with fake patron info with all possible fields filled in my code would be much more accurate.

(the data structures to the `[FromBody]` type it converts the data too on the post method implementation was generated from [https://app.quicktype.io/](https://app.quicktype.io/))
