Hello,
Today one of my new patrons showed me the login screen they got when trying to access my website through Patreon:
They were wary since they are creators themselves, and “View pledge information about your patrons” doesn’t sound great.
I honestly don’t remember ever seeing that before, and it also appears when someone who doesn’t have a creator account tries to login. Is there any specific scope or something that would trigger that message that I can remove?
I do need to check the pledge rewards for my patrons to get them access to what they paid for (the only things I really need are their pledge level and discord ID), but that message makes it sound I need to access their patrons.
This is what I’m using:
https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/members/{member_id}?include=currently_entitled_tiers&fields%5Btier%5D=title
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Nick, the scope is set during the oauth and it seems that you’re setting it as campaigns identity campaigns.members identity[email]:
Tthat scope does exactly what you mentioned: it allows to access their patrons and campaign.
If you only need to check their pledge to you, I think you could set the scope to just identity (unless you also need their email, but it doesn’t seem so), which would only require their public profile:
And then from there you should be able to use the identity endpoint to get their membership information, something like (I haven’t tried it): /api/oauth2/v2/identity?fields[user]=social_connections&fields[member]=patron_status,currently_entitled_amount_cents&include=memberships
I hope that helps

You’re amazing, that did the trick!
I’m using Django allauth for authentication, and indeed those were the default scopes for patreon.
Thank you!
