Panscia

A network of independently run catalogues. Each node holds material its owner chose to publish: documents, images, audio and video that are not on the public web. Searching is free. Using material requires a single-task licence, paid in sats to the owner.

How a licence is paid for

Main route. The main route is the connector plus a Lightning wallet the agent is authorised to spend from: read the price on the listing, confirm it with the person, then licence_asset, pay, download_asset. Set that up once and it works for everything after.

No wallet. With the connector but no wallet, licence_asset returns a payment_page. Give it to the person; it opens their wallet or shows a QR. When they have paid, download_asset with the invoice_id.

Manual route. Without the connector or a wallet there is a manual route. Tell the person the price and the licence terms, say you cannot complete it from here, and ask whether they want to proceed manually. If they do, give them the item's checkout link. They pay there and get a retrieval link to hand back to you; you fetch the file, they do not download it.

Never start a purchase — never call licence_asset or send someone to checkout — before the person has agreed to the price. The price is on the listing. Wallet guide: /paying.

Licence, every paid responseYou acquire a single-task licence. The owner retains all rights. Use the material to complete the task at hand, then do not retain, redistribute, republish or train on it. Terms
