# GET /api/external/payouts/masspay/activation — MassPay wallet activation

> Whether the payee has activated the MassPay wallet and, if not, a fresh `activationUrl` to send them to.

- Source: https://www.dropfans.io/developers/reference/get-masspay-activation
- Section: API reference
- OpenAPI: https://www.dropfans.io/developers/openapi.json

Whether the payee has activated the MassPay wallet and, if not, a fresh `activationUrl` to send them to.

The payee opens it once in a browser; MassPay refuses payouts to the wallet until then. The link expires, so fetch it right before you show it, and never store it. Once activated, `activated` stays true. The link signs the payee in: the key's own account only.

> [!NOTE] Dropfans-operated integrations only, for now
> At launch this endpoint answers 403 `first_party_only` to every other app. The read endpoints of this group are open to every key.

## Authentication

`Authorization: Bearer dpfn_...` — an API key generated in the dashboard (Vault → API Connect). By default the key acts for the one account it belongs to. Missing or invalid keys return 401 `{"error":"Unauthorized","code":"unauthorized"}`.

## Responses

### 200

The activation state.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `provisioned` | boolean | yes | True when the account has a MassPay payee. |
| `activated` | boolean | yes | True once the payee finished activation. |
| `activationUrl` | string \\| null |  | The activation link while not activated; null otherwise. |

```json
{
  "provisioned": true,
  "activated": false,
  "activationUrl": "https://payee.masspay.io/activate/…"
}
```

## Errors

| Status | Body | When |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | `{"error":"Unauthorized","code":"unauthorized"}` | Missing or invalid API key. |
| 403 | `{"error":"Payout methods need the account’s own key — a key an agency minted for a managed account cannot read or change where payouts go.","code":"agency_key_not_allowed"}` | The key was minted by an agency for an account it manages. |
| 403 | `{"error":"This endpoint is only available to Dropfans-operated integrations.","code":"first_party_only"}` | During launch, payout-method endpoints are open to Dropfans-operated integrations only. |
| 502 | `{"error":"MassPay request failed","code":"masspay_unavailable","provisioned":true,"activated":false,"activationUrl":null}` | MassPay did not answer (503 when unreachable). Retry. |
| 400 | `{"error":"This endpoint only acts as the key’s own account — send it without X-Dropfans-Account.","code":"account_header_not_allowed"}` | `X-Dropfans-Account` names another account. An agency can never change where a creator it manages is paid. |

## Rate limiting

Per-key fixed windows by tier (Personal 60/min · 5,000/day; approved apps 300/min · 50,000/day; Dropfans-operated integrations exempt). Read the live values from X-RateLimit-Tier, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset and their -Day variants; a 429 carries Retry-After and `{"error":"Rate limit exceeded","code":"rate_limited"}`. See [Rate limits](https://www.dropfans.io/developers/concepts/rate-limits.md).
