Patreon/Ko-fi -> Monzo feed notification server

0_ReadMe.md

This is the Node.js server I wrote to get Patreon and Ko-fi donation notifications streamed into my Monzo bank accounts feed. If you want to run your own instance, this script is designed to be run on Google Firebase Functions so you don't even need to manage a proper server! Deploy this function to firebase and then supply the functions URLs to Patreon/Kofi's webhook APIs, pretty simple!

monzo-index.js

// Patreon webhook registration: https://www.patreon.com/portal/registration/register-webhooks
// Ko-fi webhook registration: https://ko-fi.com/Manage/Webhooks

const functions = require('firebase-functions');
var https = require('https');
var querystring = require('querystring');

// Constant values we need to use the Monzo API. You can get account ID and a Access token from the monzo developer playground https://developers.monzo.com/api/playground
const url = 'api.monzo.com';
const account_id = <PUT ACCOUNT ID HERE>;
const access_token = <PUT ACCESS TOKEN HERE>;

exports.kofiHook = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
	var kofiData = JSON.parse(req.body.data);
	console.log("Message: " + kofiData.message);

	// build the request object that Monzo expects for a feed item creation call 
	var requestData = {
		account_id: account_id,
		type: "basic",
		url: "https://www.paypal.com/uk/signin",
		'params[title]': "☕ Someone got you a coffee! ☕",
		'params[body]': kofiData.message + ' - ' + kofiData.from_name + ' [$' + kofiData.amount + ']',
		'params[image_url]': "https://monzo-server.firebaseapp.com/API/Ko-fiLogo.png",
		'params[background_color]': "#2F4050",
		'params[body_color]': "#FF5F5F",
		'params[title_color]': "#ffffff"
	};

	// and turn it into a query string
	var dataString = querystring.stringify(requestData);
	console.log(dataString);
	var contentLength = dataString.length;

	// create the options object http request needs to call the monzo api
	var options = {
		host: url,
		path: '/feed',
		method: 'POST', 
		headers: {
			'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
			'Content-Length': contentLength,
			'Authorization' : ' Bearer ' + access_token
		}
	};

	// Fire off the call!
	DoApiCall(options, dataString, 
		function(data){
			res.status(200);
			res.end(JSON.stringify(data));
		}, 
		function(errorMessage){
			res.status(500);
			res.end(errorMessage);
		}
	);
});

exports.patreonHook = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
	console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(req.headers));
	console.log("Message: " +  JSON.stringify(req.body));

	var patreonData = req.body;

	var title;
	var body;

	if (req.headers['x-patreon-event'] === "pledges:create")
	{
		console.log("THIS IS A PLEDGE REQUEST");
		title = "New Patreon Subscriber! 💸";
		body = patreonData.included[0].attributes.full_name + " subscribed at $" + (patreonData.data.attributes.amount_cents / 100).toFixed(2)  + " a month!";
	}
	else if (req.headers['x-patreon-event'] === "pledges:update")
	{
		console.log("THIS IS A PLEDGE UPDATE");
		title = "Someone updated their Patreon subscription! 💵";

	}

	);
});

// Fuction that wraps calling a http request for us. We supply two callbacks to control what happens when

function DoApiCall(options, requestData, onCompleted, onError)
{
	var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
		console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);

 		var responseString = '';

		res.on('data', function (data) {

			console.log('BODY: ' + data);
		});
		res.on('end', () =>{
			if (res.statusCode === 200) {
				onCompleted(JSON.parse(responseString));
			}
			else {
				onError("Server did not return 200. " + JSON.stringify(responseString));
			}
		});
	});
	req.write(requestData);
	req.end();
}

That’s good to know! I’ll look into that next

Nice !
