The Big Picture
OFAuth is infrastructure for OnlyFans integrations—like Plaid for banking, but for OnlyFans. We handle authentication, session management, and API complexity so you can focus on building your product. You focus on your product. OFAuth handles OnlyFans.Why OFAuth Exists
OnlyFans has no public API. Building integrations requires:- Reverse engineering authentication flows, request signing, and session management
- Constant maintenance as OnlyFans changes their API (sometimes multiple times per day)
- Security liability from handling user credentials
| Challenge | OFAuth Solution |
|---|---|
| No public API | Managed Access API with typed endpoints |
| Authentication complexity | Link handles login, 2FA, captcha |
| Credential security | Zero credential storage—you only store Connection IDs |
| Signing infrastructure | Request signing managed by Dynamic Rules engine |
| Proxy infrastructure | Proxy management and request routing handled for you |
Teams report spending 3-6 months building OnlyFans integrations in-house. With OFAuth, you’re live in days.
Core Concepts
Connections
A Connection represents a linked OnlyFans account. When a user authenticates through OFAuth, you receive a Connection ID that you use to access their data.What You Store
Just the Connection ID (e.g.,
conn_abc123)—a simple string in your databaseWhat OFAuth Handles
Sessions, credentials, expiration, re-authentication—all the complexity
Link API
The Link API handles user authentication. It’s how OnlyFans users connect their accounts to your platform.
Link is similar to OAuth—users see a branded consent flow, enter their credentials on a trusted page, and your app receives a token (the Connection ID) to use.
You never see or handle OnlyFans passwords. Authentication happens entirely on OFAuth’s secure pages.
Access API
The Access API lets you make OnlyFans API requests using a Connection ID. It handles request signing, proxy routing, and session management so you don’t have to build that infrastructure.| Method | Best For |
|---|---|
| Managed Endpoints | Common operations like fetching profiles, posts, messages—typed responses |
| Proxy Endpoints | Any OnlyFans API path—pass-through for anything we haven’t wrapped yet |
Dynamic Rules (Advanced)
OnlyFans requires cryptographically signed requests. These signing rules change frequently—sometimes multiple times per day.| If you’re using… | Do you need Dynamic Rules? |
|---|---|
| Access API | No—signing is automatic |
| JavaScript SDK | No—handled by the SDK |
| Direct OnlyFans calls | Yes—you need current signing rules |
The Complete Flow
Here’s how a typical OFAuth integration works:- Link creates the connection (one-time per user)
- Access fetches data using that connection (ongoing)
Glossary
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Connection | A linked OnlyFans account, represented by a Connection ID |
| Connection ID | Unique identifier (e.g., conn_abc123) used to access a user’s data |
| Link Session | Temporary authentication flow—expires after 1 hour |
| API Key | Your OFAuth API key for authenticating requests |
| Dynamic Rules | Current OnlyFans request signing parameters |
