pay_royalty_on_behalf

Allows the function caller to pay royalties to a receiver IP asset on behalf of the payer IP Asset.
Method
pay_royalty_on_behalf
Parameters:
  • receiver_ip_id: The ipId that receives the royalties.
  • payer_ip_id: The ID of the IP asset that pays the royalties.
  • token: The token to use to pay the royalties.
  • amount: The amount to pay.
  • tx_options: [Optional] The transaction options dictionary.

# In this case, lets say there is a root IPA 'A' and a derivative IPA 'B'.
# Someone wants to pay 'B' for whatever reason (they bought it, they want to tip it, etc).
# Since the payer is not an IP Asset (rather an external user), the `payer_ip_id` can
# be a zero address. And the receiver is, well, the receiver's ipId which is B.
#
# It's important to note that both 'B' and its parent 'A' will be able
# to claim revenue from this based on the negotiated license terms
pay_royalty = story_client.Royalty.pay_royalty_on_behalf(
    receiver_ip_id="0x0b825D9E5FA196e6B563C0a446e8D9885057f9B1",  # B's ipId
    payer_ip_id="0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",  # zero address
    token="0x1514000000000000000000000000000000000000",  # $WIP
    amount=Web3.to_wei(2, 'ether'),  # 2 $WIP
    tx_options={"wait_for_transaction": True}
)
print(f"Paid royalty at transaction hash {pay_royalty['tx_hash']}")

# In this case, lets say there is a root IPA 'A' and a derivative IPA 'B'.
# 'B' earns revenue off-chain, but must pay 'A' based on their negotiated license terms.
# So 'B' pays 'A' what they are due

    receiver_ip_id="0x6B86B39F03558A8a4E9252d73F2bDeBfBedf5b68",  # A's ipId

​
claimable_revenue

Get total amount of revenue token claimable by a royalty token holder.
Method
claimable_revenue
Parameters:
  • royalty_vault_ip_id: The id of the royalty vault.
  • claimer: The address of the royalty token holder.
  • token: The revenue token to claim.
claimable = story_client.Royalty.claimable_revenue(
    royalty_vault_ip_id="0x089d75C9b7E441dA3115AF93FF9A855BDdbfe384",
    claimer="0x089d75C9b7E441dA3115AF93FF9A855BDdbfe384",
    token="0x1514000000000000000000000000000000000000"  # $WIP
)
print(f"Claimable revenue: {claimable}")

​
claim_all_revenue

Claims all revenue from child IP Assets and/or from your own IP Royalty Vault.
Method
claim_all_revenue
Parameters:
  • ancestor_ip_id: The address of the ancestor IP from which the revenue is being claimed.
  • claimer: The address of the claimer of the currency (revenue) tokens. This is normally the ipId of the ancestor IP if the IP has all royalty tokens. Otherwise, this would be the address that is holding the ancestor IP royalty tokens.
  • child_ip_ids: The addresses of the child IPs from which royalties are derived.
  • royalty_policies: The addresses of the royalty policies, where royalty_policies[i] governs the royalty flow for child_ip_ids[i].
  • currency_tokens: The addresses of the currency tokens in which royalties will be claimed.
  • claim_options: [Optional]
    • claim_options['auto_transfer_all_claimed_tokens_from_ip']: [Optional] When enabled, all claimed tokens on the claimer are transferred to the wallet address if the wallet owns the IP. If the wallet is the claimer or if the claimer is not an IP owned by the wallet, then the tokens will not be transferred. Set to False to disable auto transferring claimed tokens from the claimer. Default: True
claim_revenue = story_client.Royalty.claim_all_revenue(
    # IP Asset 1's (parent) ipId
    ancestor_ip_id="0x089d75C9b7E441dA3115AF93FF9A855BDdbfe384",
    # whoever owns the royalty tokens associated with IP Royalty Vault 1
    # (most likely the associated ipId, which is IP Asset 1's ipId)

    claim_options={
      'auto_transfer_all_claimed_tokens_from_ip': True
    }
