# Account Management

> Profile settings, notifications, and account configuration

## What You Can Build

* **Profile Management**: Update bio, name, and display settings
* **Notification Systems**: Monitor OnlyFans notifications
* **Multi-Account Tools**: Manage profiles across multiple creator accounts

***

## Quick Example

Get account profile information:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const response = await fetch("https://api.ofauth.com/v2/access/self", {
    headers: {
      apikey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
      "x-connection-id": "conn_abc123"
    }
  })

  const profile = await response.json()
  console.log("Logged in as:", profile.name)
  console.log("Username:", profile.username)
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  response = requests.get(
      "https://api.ofauth.com/v2/access/self",
      headers={
          "apikey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
          "x-connection-id": "conn_abc123"
      }
  )
  profile = response.json()
  print(f"Logged in as: {profile['name']}")
  ```

  ```typescript SDK theme={null}
  import OFSDK from "@ofauth/onlyfans-sdk"

  const sdk = new OFSDK({
    mode: "access",
    ofauthApiKey: process.env.OFAUTH_API_KEY
  })

  const { data: profile } = await sdk.self.getSelf({
    authentication: { connectionId: "conn_abc123" }
  })
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Common Operations

### Get Profile

Fetch the authenticated user's profile:

```javascript theme={null}
const response = await fetch("https://api.ofauth.com/v2/access/self", {
  headers: {
    apikey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "x-connection-id": "conn_abc123"
  }
})

const profile = await response.json()
// Returns full profile with stats, settings, etc.
```

### Update Profile

Modify profile information:

```javascript theme={null}
const response = await fetch("https://api.ofauth.com/v2/access/self", {
  method: "PATCH",
  headers: {
    apikey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "x-connection-id": "conn_abc123",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    name: "New Display Name",
    about: "Updated bio here..."
  })
})
```

### Get Notifications

List recent notifications:

```javascript theme={null}
const response = await fetch("https://api.ofauth.com/v2/access/self/notifications", {
  headers: {
    apikey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "x-connection-id": "conn_abc123"
  }
})

const notifications = await response.json()
```

## SDK Methods

If you're using the TypeScript SDK:

```typescript theme={null}
// Get profile
const { data: profile } = await sdk.self.getSelf({
  authentication: { connectionId: "conn_abc123" }
})

// Update profile
const { data: updated } = await sdk.self.updateSelf({
  authentication: { connectionId: "conn_abc123" },
  params: {
    name: "New Name",

## Tips & Best Practices

<Tip>
  **Polling Notifications**: For real-time notification monitoring, consider setting up webhooks instead of polling the notifications endpoint.
</Tip>

<Info>
  **Profile Updates**: Some profile fields (like username) may have restrictions or require verification. Check OnlyFans policies for limitations.
</Info>

<Warning>
  **Rate Limits**: Frequent profile updates may be rate limited. Batch changes when possible.
</Warning>
