EveryData platform API
Patreon API
Use Patreon for Patreon creator discovery, creator profiles, membership posts, and Explore results only through the 4 listed contracts, such as `search`, `explore`, `profile`, because one view does not inherit another view’s reach.
For matching public results, use Patreon action `search` with `keyword`; for Explore entries, switch to `explore` and `category`, rather than carrying parameters across.

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.

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 source record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every Patreon action return immediately?
No assumption is needed: this page labels each action's delivery mode. The current catalog contains sync delivery; poll a returned job ID only for an action labeled asynchronous.
