What This Page Does

The Cam Performers system brings live webcam performers from popular streaming platforms (like Chaturbate, Stripchat, LiveJasmin, and others) directly into your site. Visitors can browse performers, filter by preferences, view profiles, and click through to watch live streams. This guide walks you through setting everything up and keeping it running smoothly.

How to Get Here

  • Cam Settings: Navigate to Admin Panel > Cam Settings
  • Feature Toggles: Navigate to Admin Panel > Feature Toggles (to turn the cam section on or off)
  • API Tester: Navigate to Admin Panel > API Tester (to verify everything is working)

Understanding the System

Your site pulls performer data from up to 11 external cam platforms and displays them in a unified browsing experience for your visitors. The data updates automatically every few minutes, so your visitors always see who is currently live.

What Your Visitors See

  • Browse Page -- A grid of performer cards showing who is currently online. Visitors can filter by gender, ethnicity, hair color, body type, age, and more. They can also sort by number of viewers, newest performers, and other options.
  • Performer Profile Page -- A detailed profile for each performer showing their photo, bio, stats, online/offline status, viewer count, and a button to visit their live stream.
  • Filter Pages -- Dedicated pages that show performers matching a specific filter (for example, all performers with a certain tag or from a certain country).

How It Works (The Simple Version)

  1. Your site automatically connects to external cam platforms and downloads performer information.
  2. This information is stored on your site and kept up to date every few minutes.
  3. When a visitor browses your cam section, they see all the latest performers and who is currently live.
  4. When a visitor clicks on a performer to watch their stream, the click is tracked for your affiliate earnings.
Note: You do not need to manually add or update performers. Everything happens automatically once set up.

Common Tasks

How to Enable the Cam Section on Your Site

Before visitors can see cam performers, you need to turn on the feature.

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Feature Toggles.
  2. Find the Live Cams feature.
  3. Set it to Enabled.
  4. Click Save.

Your site now displays the cam performers section to visitors.

Tip: If you are not ready to show cams to your visitors yet, keep this toggle turned off while you finish configuring your cam sites.

How to Set Up a Cam Platform

Each cam platform needs its own credentials before your site can pull performer data from it.

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Cam Settings.
  2. You will see a list of supported cam platforms (Chaturbate, Stripchat, LiveJasmin, BongaCams, and others).
  3. Click on the platform you want to enable.
  4. Enter your API Key and Token in the fields provided. These credentials come from your affiliate network (CrakRevenue). If you do not have them yet, see the section below on getting credentials.
  5. Set the platform to Enabled.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Repeat for each platform you want to use.
Warning: Each set of credentials is tied to your specific website. You cannot use the same credentials on multiple websites without permission from your affiliate network.

How to Get Your API Credentials

Your cam performer data comes through an affiliate network called CrakRevenue. To get your credentials:

  1. Sign up for a CrakRevenue affiliate account if you do not have one.
  2. Contact CrakRevenue support and request access to the Performers Ext API.
  3. Provide them with your website address.
  4. They will issue you an API Key and a Token for your site.
  5. Enter these in Admin Panel > Cam Settings as described above.
Note: Credentials are issued for your specific website only. If you run multiple sites, you need separate credentials for each one.

How to Disable a Cam Platform

If you want to stop showing performers from a specific platform:

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Cam Settings.
  2. Find the platform you want to disable.
  3. Set it to Disabled.
  4. Click Save.

Performers from that platform will no longer appear on your site.

How to Check That Everything Is Working

After setting up your cam platforms, verify that performer data is flowing correctly:

  1. Go to Admin Panel > API Tester.
  2. Set the method to GET.
  3. Type /cams/stats in the endpoint field.
  4. Click Send Request.
  5. Look at the response. You should see counts showing how many performers are in the system and how many are currently online.

If you see numbers greater than zero, your system is working correctly.

Success: If total performers shows a large number (thousands or more) and online performers shows a number greater than zero, your cam system is set up and running.

How to Test Individual Features

You can run a few more quick tests in the API Tester to make sure specific parts are working:

What to Test Endpoint to Enter What to Look For
Are platforms configured? /cams/sites A list of your enabled cam platforms
Are performers online? /cams/online?per_page=5 A short list of currently live performers
Are filters working? /cams/filters Lists of available filter options (genders, ethnicities, hair colors, etc.)

What Your Visitors Can Filter By

Your cam browse page gives visitors many ways to find performers they are interested in:

Filter What It Does
Gender Show only female, male, couple, or trans performers
Ethnicity Filter by ethnic background
Hair Color Filter by hair color
Body Type Filter by body figure
Bust Size Filter by bust size
Age Filter by age range
Platform Show performers from a specific cam site only
HD Show only performers streaming in high definition
Tags Filter by interests and categories (e.g., dancing, BDSM, etc.)
Country/Language Filter by location or spoken language

Sort Options

Visitors can sort performers by:

Sort Option What It Shows First
Most Viewers Performers with the most people watching right now
Most Followers Performers with the largest fan base
Newest Most recently added performers
New Models Performers who are new to the platform
Most Favorited Performers your visitors have favorited the most
Most Experienced Performers with the longest history on the platform
Age (Young to Old) Youngest performers first
Age (Old to Young) Oldest performers first
HD First High-definition streams first
Alphabetical Sorted by name, A to Z

Visitors can search for specific performers by typing a name into the search box on the browse page.

Supported Cam Platforms

Your site can display performers from up to 11 platforms. The most common ones include:

Platform Description
Chaturbate One of the largest free cam sites
Stripchat Popular cam site with a large performer base
LiveJasmin Premium cam platform
BongaCams Large international cam site
MyFreeCams Long-established cam platform
ImLive Premium cam site with group shows
Streamate Private show-focused platform
Tip: You do not need to enable all platforms. Start with the ones most relevant to your audience and add more later.

How Affiliate Earnings Work

When a visitor on your site clicks on a cam performer to watch their stream, that click is automatically tracked. If the visitor spends money on the external cam platform, you earn a commission through your affiliate network.

All of this happens automatically as long as:

  • Your credentials are entered correctly in Cam Settings.
  • The cam feature is enabled.
  • Your site is properly set up (which it is after installation).
Warning: All performer links on your site are tracked automatically. Do not modify or bypass the link system, as this could result in lost earnings.

Tips for New Users

Tip:
  • Start with 2-3 platforms and add more once you confirm everything is working.
  • Check your stats regularly using the API Tester (/cams/stats) to make sure data is updating.
  • Keep your credentials safe. If you suspect they have been compromised, contact CrakRevenue support immediately to get new ones.
  • Do not worry about adding performers manually. The system handles everything automatically. You just need to configure your platforms and let it run.
  • Performer data updates every few minutes. If you just enabled a new platform, give it 5-10 minutes before checking for results.

Troubleshooting

No performers are showing on my site

What you see: The cam performers page is empty or shows a message that no performers are available.

How to fix it:

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Feature Toggles and confirm that Live Cams is enabled.
  2. Go to Admin Panel > Cam Settings and confirm at least one platform is enabled with valid credentials.
  3. Wait 5-10 minutes for the first data sync to complete.
  4. If performers still do not appear, use the API Tester with the endpoint /cams/stats to check if any performers are in the system.
  5. If the stats show zero performers, your credentials may be incorrect. Double-check them with your affiliate network.

 

All performers show as offline

What you see: Performers appear on the page but none of them show as "Live" or "Online."

How to fix it:

  1. Wait a few minutes. Online status updates automatically every few minutes.
  2. If the problem persists, go to the API Tester and check /cams/stats. Look at the "online count" number.
  3. If the online count is zero, your data may not be syncing. Contact support for help checking your automated tasks.

 

A specific cam platform is not showing performers

What you see: Performers from one platform (e.g., Chaturbate) are missing, but others work fine.

How to fix it:

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Cam Settings.
  2. Find the platform in question and confirm it is set to Enabled.
  3. Verify the API Key and Token are entered correctly. Even a small typo will prevent it from working.
  4. If the credentials look correct, contact your affiliate network to confirm they are still valid and authorized for your website.

 

The cam page is loading slowly

What you see: The performer browse page takes a long time to load.

How to fix it:

  1. This is usually temporary and resolves on its own as caching kicks in.
  2. If the problem persists, try reducing the number of performers shown per page (if your theme or layout settings allow it).
  3. Contact support if the issue continues.

 

I am not seeing any affiliate earnings

What you see: Visitors are clicking on performers but you see no commissions in your affiliate dashboard.

How to fix it:

  1. Make sure your credentials in Cam Settings are correct and match what your affiliate network provided.
  2. Verify that your affiliate account is active and in good standing.
  3. Remember that earnings may take time to appear in your affiliate dashboard (often 24-48 hours).
  4. Contact your affiliate network support if earnings do not appear after several days.
