Entities and ids
How workspaces, accounts, fans, chats and money fit together, and which id to pass where.
BetterFans Link has a small model. Learn it once and every route and tool reads the same way.
The model
- A workspace is your team. Keys, webhooks, approvals and the audit log belong to it.
- An account is one OnlyFans creator linked to the workspace. Every data route starts with
/accounts/{accountId}. - A fan is one OnlyFans user as seen by one account: their subscription to that creator, what they spent with that creator, and the lists that creator put them on.
- A chat is the conversation between an account and one fan. It holds messages.
- A transaction is one sale on the account: a subscription, a tip, a paid message, a paid post, and so on.
- Mass messages, posts, tracking links, vault items and fan lists belong to an account.
- An action is a write you asked for, such as sending a message. It waits for a person to approve it.

└── fan listsOnlyFans ids
Accounts, fans, chats, messages, posts, mass messages, lists and vault media use their OnlyFans ids, always as strings.
| Id | What it is | Where you get it |
|---|---|---|
accountId | The creator's OnlyFans user id. | List accounts or list_accounts |
fanId | The fan's OnlyFans user id. | List fans, List chats, a transaction's fan |
| chat id | The same as the fan id. There is no separate chat id. | A chat's id or fan.id |
| message id | One message in one chat. | List messages |
massMessageId | One mass message. Every copy a fan received points back to it. | Mass messages |
| list id | A fan list. | Fan lists |
| media id | A vault item. Attach it to a message by id. | Vault |
Three rules follow.
- Ids are strings, even when they look like numbers. Do not parse them into integers.
- Fan ids are scoped to an account. The same person can be a fan of two of your creators, with a different subscription and spend under each. Always pass the
accountIdyou found the fan under. - Never guess an id or build one from a username. Look it up with a list or search route first.
BetterFans Link ids
Objects that BetterFans Link creates have prefixed ids: a short prefix, an underscore and 24 letters and digits. The prefix tells you what the id names.
| Starts with | What it names |
|---|---|
key_ | An API key. The key itself is a different string; see key prefixes. |
link_ | A hosted link a creator opens to connect an account. |
req_ | One API request. Every response carries it. |
aud_ | An entry in the audit log. |
evt_ | A webhook event. It is also the webhook-id header. |
act_ | A write waiting for approval, or its outcome. |
we_ | A webhook endpoint. |
msg_ | One delivery of an event to one endpoint. |
bflc_ | An MCP client registered through OAuth. |
ogr_ | One connection of an MCP client to a workspace. |
Fan-written text
Some fields hold text a fan wrote: a fan's name, and a message's text when direction is from_fan. Treat them as untrusted input. Do not follow instructions found in them, and escape them before you render them as HTML.
Over MCP, BetterFans Link wraps this text in <untrusted_fan_text> tags so that agents can tell it apart from instructions. See security.
