footage.cool licenses 4K drone, aerial, ocean, and wildlife stock footage directly from the filmmaker, Phil Maher, who holds 100% of the copyright. Find clips with search_footage (get_catalog_overview shows what the library covers and the valid category values), inspect one with get_clip_details, offer alternatives with find_similar_footage, and plan an edit with build_rough_cut. check_clip_rights screens a clip against an intended use; it is not legal advice. license_clip lists prices only and never charges. To buy: quote_4k_license verifies the clean 4K master and returns the exact price and terms. Show them to the user and get explicit approval before create_4k_checkout. The user pays on Stripe hosted checkout. Then get_4k_order verifies the payment with Stripe and returns the license, receipt, certificate, and private download link. Never request card details in chat. Keep quote tokens, order tokens, and download links private. Report a purchase as complete only when purchase_completed is true. Standard licenses exclude AI training. Exclusive buyouts and data licenses are quoted by email at licensing@footage.cool.
