Connect other people’s creators

View as Markdown

Get your app approved, send creators a connect link, then validate and store the key they give you.

For software that other people’s creators plug into, such as a CRM. Each creator generates a key for your app, and that key is the whole handshake. It never expires and there is nothing to refresh.

  1. 1Apply for app access

    Apply here. The form asks what the app does, which parts of the API it uses, how many creators you expect and how you store keys. A person reviews it, usually within a few business days. Once approved, your app appears in the key picker every creator sees.

  2. 2Send your connect link

    It opens the picker with your app selected and survives login, so it works for creators who are signed out. The creator presses Generate, copies the key and pastes it into your app.

  3. 3Validate the key

    Call GET /me right away and show the username back, so the creator sees they connected the right account.

    curl
    curl "https://www.dropfans.io/api/external/v1/me" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DROPFANS_API_KEY"
    Node
    const res = await fetch('https://www.dropfans.io/api/external/v1/me', {
  headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer ' + process.env.DROPFANS_API_KEY },
});
console.log(await res.json());
    Python
    import os, requests

HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['DROPFANS_API_KEY']}"}
res = requests.get("https://www.dropfans.io/api/external/v1/me", headers=HEADERS)
print(res.json()["username"])

  4. 4Store it safely

    Encrypt the key at rest. Never log it, send it to your frontend or echo it in an error message.

    If a creator revokes the key, every request returns 401, so ask them to reconnect instead of retrying. If your app is suspended, requests return 403 with app_suspended, and the keys work again once it is reinstated.

Agencies

An agency can connect once per creator, or generate one key as the agency and act for every creator and AI persona it manages at /api/external/v1/creators/{creatorId}/….

Commission

A drop bought, a tip sent or a subscription started through your app's links earns your app owner 5% of the sale for life, unless agreed otherwise. That includes every renewal. It's paid out of our platform fee, never taken from the creator. Links made with a personal key earn nothing, so always generate links with your app's key.
