might see about making a little script to pull data about my patrons so I can make a list of them to include in the game as thank yous, but that involves working with the Patreon API which, ech

I wonder if they still have it where, if one of your patrons is themselves a creator, it pulls their entire page and all their tiers when you try to pull a list of your patrons

I remembered the other thing: whenever I would log into the application I had created, it would change my key that I used to update info about who was a patron and whatnot, so I had to make a special handler just to update my own key whenever I logged in so it wouldn't break

I see working with Patreon's api hasn't changed at all lmao

I'm using the php library they provided and it says "put in your creator access token and you're golden" but I'm getting absolutely no results lmao

Hmm, I'm trying to use just a regular curl request to my own website and I'm not getting any results either, so something is wrong beyond just trying to use this api...

figured it out: since I'm running PHP off my own computer, it wasn't able to negotiate an SSL session because I have no certificates for it. I figured out how from this thread and now I can continue writing my code https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28858351/php-ssl-certificate-error-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate
