For a creator you manage or onboarded

GET /api/external/v1/creators/{creatorId}/subscription — an agency's own key for a creator or AI persona it manages (needs canViewStats), or your app owner's own key for an account your app onboarded. The X-Dropfans-Account header still works but is deprecated. See Acting for a creator.

Errors

StatusBodyWhen
401{"error":"Unauthorized","code":"unauthorized"}Missing or invalid API key.
400{"error":"X-Dropfans-Account must be an account id (from GET /api/external/agency/creators), not a username.","code":"invalid_account_header"}`X-Dropfans-Account` is not an account id.
400{"error":"X-Dropfans-Account names a different account than the path — send one or the other.","code":"account_mismatch"}Called under /v1/creators/{creatorId}/ with an `X-Dropfans-Account` naming another account.
403{"error":"This key cannot act for that account.","code":"account_not_managed"}The creator in the path (or `X-Dropfans-Account`) is one this key cannot act for: no ACCEPTED management by your agency and not an account your app onboarded (or it no longer holds a key bound to your app), a key minted for one creator, or someone is suspended, banned or deleted. An unknown id gets the same answer.
403{"error":"The agency does not have permission for this on that account.","code":"permission_denied","permission":"canViewStats"}For a managed creator: the agency lacks `canViewStats` on that account.

Rate limiting

Every response carries the X-RateLimit-Tier header and, on limited tiers, the per-minute and per-day trios — read X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset instead of hardcoding limits. Details in Rate limits.
