Story Protocol

Story Protocol is a purpose-built EVM Layer 1 blockchain for onchain intellectual property (the "IP blockchain"), powered by Proof of Creativity, built by Pip Labs and backed by a16z. Its public REST API (api.storyapis.com) is a read-only indexer that exposes IP assets, collections, license terms, license templates and tokens, minting fees, disputes, IP groups, royalties, protocol modules, permissions, and transactions across Story mainnet (chain 1514) and the Aeneid testnet (chain 1315). Authentication is an X-Api-Key header plus an X-Chain network selector; official TypeScript and Python SDKs wrap both the API and the onchain protocol.

agent native

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Story Protocol the way a machine reads it — 17 machine-readable artifacts across 13 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Story Protocol scores 39.9/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 62/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Story Protocol

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Story Protocol. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 13

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Story Protocol Collections API

The Collections API from Story Protocol — 2 operation(s) for collections.

Story Protocol Disputes API

The Disputes API from Story Protocol — 2 operation(s) for disputes.

Story Protocol IPAssets API

The IPAssets API from Story Protocol — 4 operation(s) for ipassets.

Story Protocol IPGroup API

The IPGroup API from Story Protocol — 2 operation(s) for ipgroup.

Story Protocol IPLicenseTerms API

The IPLicenseTerms API from Story Protocol — 4 operation(s) for iplicenseterms.

Story Protocol Licenses API

The Licenses API from Story Protocol — 4 operation(s) for licenses.

Story Protocol LicenseTemplates API

The LicenseTemplates API from Story Protocol — 2 operation(s) for licensetemplates.

Story Protocol LicenseTerms API

The LicenseTerms API from Story Protocol — 2 operation(s) for licenseterms.

Story Protocol LicenseTokens API

The LicenseTokens API from Story Protocol — 2 operation(s) for licensetokens.

Story Protocol Modules API

The Modules API from Story Protocol — 2 operation(s) for modules.

Story Protocol Permissions API

The Permissions API from Story Protocol — 2 operation(s) for permissions.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
