What does each Patreon action accept?

Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.

Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.

keywordRequired
Specifies creator search terms for the search action. Queries creator landing profile pages rather than full-text post contents behind paywalls.
Patreon: Account Discovery by Creator Name or Topic — Patreon supports creator discovery by name or topic, and its native Explore feature includes personalized recommendations.

Patreon: Category Discovery Separated from Personal Recommendations and Age Settings — Patreon's discovery page combines topics, memberships, and past activity, while applying age and access requirements to adult-only creators and users aged 18 or older. Category values on this endpoint do not equal Patreon's full native category list or personal recommendations, nor do they bypass age or content restrictions. · Checked

Patreon: Member Count Snapshot Is Not Processed Revenue — Patreon treats member counts and revenue overviews as point-in-time snapshots, placing processed revenue in dedicated reports.

Patreon API questions

What can I retrieve with the Patreon API?

Set platform to patreon. The current catalog lists search, explore, details, and posts by user. These action names identify different Patreon objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.

Which input starts a Patreon `search` request?

Specifies creator search terms for the search action. Queries creator landing profile pages rather than full-text post contents behind paywalls. Send it as keyword inside params.

Which fields can Patreon `search` return?

Its declared schema includes name, vanity, tagline, and patron_count. A declared field can still be absent from an individual record, and every other action has its own field list.

Does every Patreon action return immediately?

Actions labeled asynchronous return a job ID you poll. Every other action can also run asynchronously: add "mode": "async" to the request body to receive a job ID immediately, useful for slow tasks or large limits. The current catalog contains sync delivery.
