Chaturbate (Beta)

Beta Feature

Chaturbate support is currently in beta. If you encounter any issues, please contact TipLink support.

TipLink connects to Chaturbate using the Chaturbate Events API, which gives you real-time notifications for tips, follows, chat messages, fanclub joins, and more.

Set-up Instructions

Step 1 — Generate your Events API URL

1. Log in to your Chaturbate account.

2. Go to chaturbate.com/statsapi/authtoken/

3. Under "Events API" (not "Events API (public)"), click "Generate" to create a new token.

   Choose the correct scope

   You must select the "Events API" scope — not "Events API (public)". The public scope does not include private events like tips.

4. Copy the full URL that appears. It will look like:

   https://eventsapi.chaturbate.com/events/yourUsername/yourToken/

Step 2 — Connect to TipLink

1. Open TipLink and navigate to the Platforms page using the sidebar.
2. Click Chaturbate at the top of the page.
3. Paste the full Events API URL you copied into the field provided.
4. Click Create Account.

Chaturbate is now connected to TipLink!

Tips

• Token values on Chaturbate are in tokens, not dollars. Use the math transform {{ tokens | * 0.05 | toFixed:2 }} to convert tokens to an approximate USD amount (at the standard $0.05/token rate).
• Anonymous tips set username to "Anonymous". Use a fallback to handle both cases gracefully: {{ username | "Anonymous" }}.
• Room Entry events fire for every viewer who enters — on busy streams this can be very frequent. Keep them excluded unless you specifically need them.
