What counts as a credit?

One successful API call. If a request fails — expired session, upstream error — it isn't charged. Mass DMs are the exception: a mailing bills one credit per recipient, and you can preview the exact cost before sending.

How do I authenticate?

A Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer ofapis_sk_…. Create and revoke keys in the dashboard.

Can I manage multiple creators?

Yes. Link several accounts and address each by id under scoped routes. Account count scales with your plan.

Do you have an OpenAPI spec?

A complete OpenAPI 3.0 document and a live Swagger playground — point your generator at it for a typed client.

OnlyFans Automation: The Complete Guide

OnlyFans automation means running the repetitive parts of a creator account — messaging, mass DMs, scheduling, fan segmentation and reporting — from software instead of by hand. This guide covers what you can automate, the two ways to do it (a REST API or no-code tools), and how to keep accounts safe. Everything here runs on ofapis, a metered OnlyFans REST API — one Bearer token, billed by the call.

What you can automate

Most of the day-to-day work on an account maps to an endpoint:

Messaging — read and reply to fans over the chat API and messaging API.
Mass DMs — segment fans and blast a campaign with the mass DM API, with a cost preview before it sends.
Scheduling — queue posts and messages ahead of time with the scheduling API.
Segmentation — group fans by spend or activity with fan segments and the subscribers API.
Real-time triggers — react the moment a fan messages, tips or subscribes via webhooks and the notifications API.

The two ways to automate

1. No-code tools. ofapis is a plain Bearer-authed HTTP endpoint, so any automation platform can call it — no custom connector. Start with Zapier, Make or n8n, or drive it from an AI assistant: Claude, ChatGPT and Manus via MCP. Good for triggers like "new CRM row → welcome DM" without writing code.

2. The API directly. For custom workflows, call the API from your own stack — see the Node or Python quickstart. Authentication is a single Bearer token; every route lives under /api/public/v1.

Automations worth building first

Auto-reply bot — answer common questions instantly, hand off the rest.
Welcome-message automation — DM every new subscriber within seconds.
PPV automation — schedule and track pay-per-view sends.
Mass-message tool — segment, preview cost, send, track the run.
Fan retention — detect lapsing fans and win them back.

Running several creators? The agency automation pattern addresses each account by id under one token — see also agency software.

Build vs buy

If you have a developer, build directly on the API for full control — the automation API wraps multi-step actions into single idempotent calls. If you don't, a no-code flow or an off-the-shelf chatbot gets you live faster. Both use the same account and the same credit billing: one credit per successful call, failed calls are free.

Keeping accounts safe

Automation only helps if the account survives it. ofapis keeps each session encrypted and alive server-side with a dedicated proxy per account, so behaviour stays consistent — more on the safety model. Still, pace your sends, keep write actions behind confirmation while testing, and never hammer an endpoint in a tight loop.

Getting started

Create a free key — 250 credits, no card.
Connect a creator account once; the session is kept alive for you.
Pick a path above (no-code or API) and ship your first automation.

FAQ

Is OnlyFans automation allowed?

ofapis is an independent, unofficial API — automating your own account is common, but you are responsible for how you use it under OnlyFans' terms. Read the safety guide before scaling sends.

Do I need to code to automate OnlyFans?

No. No-code tools like Zapier, Make and n8n call the API for you. Code only helps for fully custom workflows.

What can't be automated?

Anything ofapis doesn't expose an endpoint for. The API covers messaging, mass DMs, scheduling, segments, subscribers, media and webhooks — see what the API can do.

How much does it cost to automate?

You pay per successful API call (one credit), not per seat. Plans start free at 250 credits/month — see pricing and the cost breakdown.
