# 支付存储费用

After a file is uploaded, the file can be paid for by its cid (w\_cid). However, the wallet needs to be verified first, using `ContractAPI.approve_usdc(wallet_address, private_key, "1")`.

```
def test_approve_usdc(wallet_info):
    wallet_address = wallet_info['wallet_address']
    private_key = wallet_info['private_key']
    web3_api = wallet_info['web3_api']
    
    w3_api = ContractAPI(web3_api)
    w3_api.approve_usdc(wallet_address, private_key, "1")
```

### Parameters

* **wallet\_address**: the MetaMask wallet address.
* **private\_key**: wallet private key

Then the payment can be executed using `file_size` and `w_cid`. Which can all be obtained from the response of upload API (or be accessed using file detail API that will be introduced later).

`ContractAPI.upload_file_pay(wallet_address, private_key, file_size, w_cid, rate, params)`

```
def test_upload_file_pay(wallet_info):
    wallet_address = wallet_info['wallet_address']
    private_key = wallet_info['private_key']
    web3_api = wallet_info['web3_api']

    w3_api = ContractAPI(web3_api)
    api = McsAPI()
    # upload file to mcs
    file_path = "/*"
    upload_file = api.upload_file(wallet_address, file_path)
    file_data = upload_file["data"]
    payload_cid, source_file_upload_id, nft_uri, file_size, w_cid = file_data['payload_cid'], file_data[
        'source_file_upload_id'], file_data['ipfs_url'], file_data['file_size'], file_data['w_cid']
    # get the global variable
    params = api.get_params()["data"]
    # get filcoin price
    rate = api.get_price_rate()["data"]
    # upload_file_pay
    w3_api.upload_file_pay(wallet_address, private_key, file_size, w_cid, rate, params)
```

### Parameters

* **wallet\_address**: the MetaMask wallet address.
* **private\_key**: wallet private key
* **file\_size:** the size of the uploaded file.
* **w\_cid**: unique payload CID of the file
* **params**: variables that can be obtained use API.
* **rate**: Filcoin price that can be obtained use API.

### Return

Returns a web3.py receipt object. In the example above, only the transaction hash from this object is printed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-cn.filswan.com/multichain.storage/developer-quickstart/sdk/python-mcs-sdk/zhi-fu-cun-chu-fei-yong.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
