Upgrade Patreon Discourse Plugin to API v2

תכונה

Hey folks :waving_hand:

The Patreon Discourse plugin is still using Patreon’s API v1, which has been deprecated for several years. To keep the integration working properly, it needs to be updated to use API v2.

Patreon’s API v2 is the supported version and provides equivalent functionality to v1, along with a more consistent data model and improved resource relationships.
Docs:

Key migration notes:

  • Some API calls currently using /api/oauth2/ will need to be updated to the v2 endpoints.

  • The users of the plugin will need to create new Patreon OAuth clients with v2 scopes during the migration. v1 clients aren’t compatible.

  • The data structure (e.g. campaign, member, pledge) is modeled differently in v2.

I would like to know what’s the process for these kind of updates. Happy to help with guidance on this migration.

Thanks for maintaining this integration :folded_hands:

I wanted to follow up on this topic. Is this plugin still being actively maintained, or should we assume it is inactive and accept that the termination of the v1 API will result in the plugin no longer working?

Yes. I believe it is still actively maintained, as it’s an official plugin, has been included-in-core, and has the most recent commit only last week.

Last time we researched into this, Patreon had disbanded the team doing API v2 midway, so the API v1 would work indefinitely.

Can you link to any resources saying otherwise?

Thanks for getting back on this! Source on this - I’m an engineer on the Patreon team. Our public documentation and client creation flow have callouts about v1 deprecation. V2 has been the main API for about 5+ years, discourse is one of the last integrations that still isn’t using it.

EDIT: Feel free to DM or email (in case I don’t get notifications from discourse) if y’all need additional information.
