How do I download Patreon content?

I want to sponsor a certain creator (Dogen) because he has a lot of videos that could be really useful for me. I know that I won't be able to make it through all of those videos in the span of one month (there are over 50 of them I think) but I really can't afford to pay 10 dollars a month for something I won't be using every month. So I'm wondering if it's somehow possible to download all that stuff after paying just once.

PatreonDownloader

This application is designed for downloading content posted by creators on patreon.com.

IMPORTANT: You need a valid patreon account to download both free and paid content. Paid content will only be downloaded if you have an active subscription to creator's page.

Usage

Download all available files from creator

PatreonDownloader.App.exe --url #page url#. Page url should follow one of the following patterns:

  • https://www.patreon.com/m/#numbers#/posts
  • https://www.patreon.com/user?u=#numbers#
  • https://www.patreon.com/user/posts?u=#numbers#
  • https://www.patreon.com/#creator_name#/posts

Download all available files from creator into custom directory and save all possible data (post contents, embed metadata, cover and avatar, json responses)

PatreonDownloader.App.exe --url #page url# --download-directory c:\downloads --descriptions --embeds --campaign-images --json

Show available commands and their descriptions
