Patreon API for creator profiles, posts, and membership tiers

The Patreon API is built for creator analytics, content monitoring, and membership research. Each creator profile includes name, summary, avatar and cover image, category, patron count, post count, social links and membership tiers with title, price, currency and description. Post lists include title, url, publish date, post type, public and paid flags, like and comment counts, teaser text and image.

Fetch public post lists with cursor pagination, like and comment counts.
