Patreon Scraper

🔎 Public Patreon creator and post data

Patreon researchers, creator teams, marketers, and analysts can use Patreon Scraper to collect public creator and campaign profiles, membership tiers, audience counts, and public posts in structured dataset rows. Search with a keyword or category, look up creator identifiers or URLs, or find posts with text or URLs. The output helps you compare creator pages, review membership offers, and study public post activity.

• Collect public creator and campaign fields with Patreon Data Scraper.
• Find public creator profiles from a keyword with Patreon Creator Scraper.
• Collect public post fields from a text search with Patreon Post Scraper.
• Check one public creator page by identifier or URL with Patreon Profile Scraper.
• Export public creator and post rows for analysis with Patreon Scraper.

📦 Public creator and post records

The dataset has two row shapes. A creator row can include the public campaign profile, audience and post counts, categories, earnings when published, social links, membership tiers, and recent public posts. A post row can include the title, URL, type, publication time, access type, text, engagement counts, media references, and its creator.

Only public Patreon data is in scope. Private, member-only, deleted, or otherwise unavailable material is not collected. Optional values that Patreon does not show are omitted rather than guessed.

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence of a source item immediately. If the same source item appears again through another submitted identifier, URL, keyword, or category, the later match is ignored. matchedBy and discoveryType show the value and source type for the first saved match.

▶️ Choose a Patreon search or lookup

Run choices

1. Choose a target: creator profiles, creator keyword search, creator category browse, post search, or public post URLs.
2. Enter the field that belongs to that target. Use creator identifiers or URLs for a direct lookup, or use a keyword or category for discovery.
3. Turn on recent public posts when you need post rows linked to creator rows. Use the post filters only with Post search.
4. Add creator or post filters when needed, then set maxItems for a smaller run. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.
5. Start the run and open the dataset link in the Output panel.

To reduce the amount of work, turn off includeRecentPosts when you only need creator profiles and membership tiers. Use a direct creator or post URL when you already know what to check. Use maxItems when you need a small sample before a larger run.

💳 Pricing

How charges map to saved rows

The Actor uses two buyer-facing pay-per-event charges. A successful public creator or campaign profile uses patreon-creator-profile. A successful public post uses patreon-public-post. When recent posts are included, each saved public post uses the post event. The rate shown in the Store is the rate for your Apify plan.

Machine event	Buyer-facing title	What it covers
patreon-creator-profile	Creator Profile	One successful public creator or campaign profile with its name, available audience counts, membership tiers, and public dates and links.
patreon-public-post	Public Post	One successful public post with its title, URL, type, publication time, and available media or engagement counts.

🔌 Integrations

The Output panel links to the default dataset. You can read its public creator and post rows through the Apify API or export them from Apify.

❓ FAQ

What happens when the same creator or post matches more than one input?

The first eligible occurrence is saved right away. A later match for the same source item is ignored, and the saved row is not rewritten. matchedBy shows the submitted value for that first saved match.

Why did the run return fewer records than maxItems?

maxItems is a ceiling. The source may have fewer available matches, filters may remove some creators or posts, or later matches may be duplicates. Leave it empty when you want all available results until the source is exhausted.

Which target should I use for a creator lookup?

Use Creator profiles with a public creator identifier or URL when you know the page. Use Creator keyword search to find creators from one keyword. Use Creator category browse to search one Patreon category or Explore classification.

How do I include recent posts with creator data?

Turn on includeRecentPosts for Creator profiles, Creator keyword search, or Creator category browse. It is off by default and has no effect on Post search or Public post URLs.

Can this Actor collect private or member-only Patreon content?

No. It collects public creator, campaign, and post data only. Private, member-only, deleted, and unavailable material is outside the product scope.

What happens when Patreon does not publish a field?

That optional field is omitted from the row. The Actor does not fill missing public values with guesses.

Can I filter public post searches?

Yes. Use postTypes, postAccess, postPublished, and postOrder with Post search. These fields do not change creator lookups.

How can I keep a run smaller?

Set maxItems to a sample size, turn off includeRecentPosts when post rows are not needed, or use a direct creator or post URL instead of discovery. Use minimumPatrons to remove smaller creator matches during creator keyword or category searches.
