Getting Started with the OnlyFans API

All access to the OnlyFans API is gated by an API key. Keys are issued immediately on sign-up — no waiting period, no approval queue. Each key is scoped to your account and grants access to all creators you manage.

1. 1 Visit ofapi.dev/#get-access and choose a plan.
2. 2 Complete checkout — your API key is shown instantly on the confirmation screen.
3. 3 Copy the key and store it in your environment — you will not be shown it again.

OFAPI_KEY=your_api_key_here

Every request must include the X-API-Key header. There are no cookies, sessions, or OAuth flows — just a single header on every call. Requests without a valid key receive a 401 Unauthorized response.

curl -X GET \
  "https://api.ofapi.dev/api/v1/onlyfans/models" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here"

Start by calling GET /models to retrieve all creators linked to your account. This confirms your key is valid and shows you the creator_id values you will use in subsequent calls.

GET /onlyfans/models

curl -X GET \
  "https://api.ofapi.dev/api/v1/onlyfans/models" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here"

{
  "models": [
    {
      "id": "creator_abc123",
      "username": "yourmodel",
      "display_name": "Your Model Name",
      "status": "active",
      "connected_at": "2026-01-15T08:00:00Z"
    }
  ],
  "total": 1
}

Save the id values — you pass these as creator_id query parameters when calling analytics and revenue endpoints.

To pull data for a creator, they must be linked to your API account. The connection flow is handled through the dashboard — no API calls required.

1. 1 Log into the OFAPI dashboard.
2. 2 Click Add Creator and enter their OnlyFans username or profile URL.
3. 3 The creator authenticates via the secure OAuth flow — takes under 60 seconds.
4. 4 Once connected, the creator appears in GET /models and all their data is immediately available.

curl -X GET \
  "https://api.ofapi.dev/api/v1/onlyfans/models/creator_abc123/statistics/overview" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here"

The API is plain HTTP/REST — any language with an HTTP client works. The officially supported integration guides cover Python (via requests) and JavaScript / Node.js (native fetch).

# Python integration — uses the requests library
pip install requests

# Node.js 18+ — no extra dependencies needed
# Node 16 or earlier only:
npm install node-fetch

With authentication confirmed and a creator connected, you have access to all 17+ endpoints. The most commonly used starting points are revenue statistics, top fan rankings, and payout transactions.
