Credit System
Understanding credit allocation and subscription plans
Credit cost overview
Please refer to the table below to get a general overview of the credit cost for our endpoints.
For detailed information about where to find credit information in API responses, see our Response Structure documentation.
| Endpoint(s) | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Search Profiles | 1 credit per result | E.g. if your search query has 10 results, you will be debited 10 credits. |
| Media Uploading | 6 credits per MB | For easy calculation, we use decimal measurements. This means that 1MB is 1,000 KB. |
| Media Scraping | 6 credits per MB | For easy calculation, we use decimal measurements. This means that 1MB is 1,000 KB. |
| Webhooks | 1 credit per sent webhook event | E.g. if you have one webhook configured for both messages.received and messages.sent, you will be charged 1 credit every time one of those events is triggered. Webhooks are not sent as a bundle, so every event is 1 credit. |
| All other uncached responses | 1 credit per request | - |
| All other cached responses | 0 credits | - |

Cached vs uncached
Cached responses
Public endpoints make use of automatic caching by default, and thus won’t cost you any credits if a cached response already exists.
Account-specific endpoints will never be cached, and will always give you a fresh response from OnlyFans.
Forcing a fresh response
You can force a fresh response by appending the endpoint URL with ?fresh=true
Uncached responses
All account-specific endpoints, and endpoints that reply on real-time data, will always return a fresh response from OnlyFans and thus will consume credits.

Best practices for optimizing credit usage:
Efficient caching
Leverage cached responses when possible.
