Patreon Posts Scraper: export a creator's posts with likes, comments, dates and media

Patreon Posts Scraper turns a Patreon creator's feed into a spreadsheet. Give it a creator URL, vanity name or campaign ID and you get each post's title, link, publish date, type, like and comment counts, paid flag and media previews. It is for researchers, analysts, agencies and creators who want to study what gets engagement on Patreon.

• Three ways to name a creator. A full URL, a vanity name such as peterboese, or a numeric campaign ID.
• Engagement counts. like_count and comment_count for every post.
• Filters. Media type (video, image, audio, text, link), a search query inside the creator's posts, sort order and a post limit.
• Media metadata. Images, thumbnails, video previews, audio and file details when the post has them.
• Public data, no login. No Patreon account or cookies. Check the Pricing tab for current rates. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets.

Scope: This Actor reads posts only. Posts locked behind a tier return the public metadata Patreon shows, not paywalled content. For tiers, prices and profile data, use Patreon Creator Details Scraper. To find creators first, use Patreon Creator Finder.

FAQ

How many posts can I get?

As many as maxPosts allows, up to the creator's public feed. The Actor pages through the feed until it reaches your limit or the end.

Can I scrape several creators?

One creator per run. To cover a list, start the Actor once per creator with the Apify API, a task or a schedule.

Do I get paywalled content?

No. Only what Patreon shows publicly. Use is_paid and min_cents_pledged_to_view to see which posts are gated.

Do I need a Patreon login or proxy?

No.

Why is creator not found?

If a vanity name does not match a campaign, the Actor falls back to a search and takes the best match. If that is wrong, use the numeric campaign ID from Patreon Creator Finder or Patreon Creator Details Scraper.

Is it legal to scrape Patreon?

The Actor collects publicly visible information. You are responsible for using it in line with Patreon's terms and local law.

Pricing is shown on the Pricing tab of the Actor page. Start with a low maxPosts to see the cost for your use.
