## API Access & Usage Policy Updated

We've updated our [**API Access & Usage Policy**](/api-policy) so that it clearly sets out the rules for everyone building on the Fanvue API, and so that it reflects how apps connect to Fanvue today.

### What's changed?

#### [Introduction and Definitions](/api-policy#definitions)

* Made clear that the Policy, and Fanvue's content policies, apply to every app built on the API, whether or not it is listed on the **Fanvue App Store**.
* Updated the Policy to reflect that API access is through OAuth, and added definitions for **App**, **App Builder**, **Client Credentials** and **App Configuration**.

#### [Section 4 - Permitted Use](/api-policy#4-permitted-use)

* Added Section 4.2, confirming that content created, published or sent by an app must follow our [**Community Guidelines**](/community-guidelines) and [**Acceptable Use Policy**](/acceptable-use-policy).
* Added Section 4.3 on AI disclosure, covering AI-generated media, AI chat and personas, the likeness of real people, and content involving minors.

#### [Section 5 - Prohibited Use](/api-policy#5-prohibited-use)

* Refreshed the list of prohibited conduct to reflect OAuth access, and clarified that users connect to apps through the **Fanvue App Store** or "Connect with Fanvue" rather than by registering an app themselves.
* Clarified that redirect URIs and webhook endpoints must point to services the app builder controls.
* Added Section 5.2, listing types of apps that are not permitted, including gambling, "nudify" and non-consensual deepfake tools, content leaking tools, verification bypass tools, training AI models on Fanvue content or data, and escort services.

#### [Section 10 - Security Requirements](/api-policy#10-security-requirements)

* Updated security guidance for client secrets and OAuth tokens.

### Why?

These updates make it easier for app builders to understand what is and isn't allowed, and help keep creators and fans safe when they connect apps to their Fanvue account.
