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.
403{"error":"This key cannot act for that account.","code":"account_not_managed"}`X-Dropfans-Account` names an account this key cannot act for: not an agency’s own key, no ACCEPTED management, or the agency or account 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":"canManageDrops"}With `X-Dropfans-Account`: the agency lacks `canManageDrops` 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.
