Overview

With Signaturit’s API we want to help you speed up the adoption of eSignatures and facilitate the integration of our online document signing process into your workflows.

We provide you with a comprehensive documentation, sample code and SDKs.

You can test our API as much as you want without having to pay, you only need to create a developer account and start.

Introducing Signaturit

Signaturit is the easiest way to get documents signed with legal validity, and without having to install any applications. Our solution is very intuitive for the signer and is fully optimized for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.

We meet all the EU requirements to provide an advanced electronic signature and, as an European-based company, we guarantee the protection and privacy of all the information needed to authenticate the parties involved in the transaction, like the biometric data captured during the signing process and the documents sent through our platform.

Types of integration

There are two ways to integrate Signaturit in your current workflows. In both scenarios you will get all the information required of the signature process, like events and different status updates for real-time updates and reporting.

Embedded Signing

By embedding Signaturit in your web application your customers will be able to sign documents on your site inside an iframe. This means that your users don't have to leave your website or wait for an email to start the signature workflow.

Signature Request

You can send signature requests directly from your current system, either a BPM, ERP or intranet where you have the information of the people’s signatures you want. The signature process will be completed in Signaturit’s intuitive interface.

  • 1. Register a user in the sandbox server and retrieve the associated access token.

  • 2. Create a signature request from your back end and store the returned SIGN_URL that will be needed on the front end.

    $ curl
    -X POST
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
    -F 'recipients[0][name]=John' -F 'recipients[0][email]=john.doe@gmail.com'
    -F 'files[0]=@NDA.pdf'
    -F 'delivery_type=url'

  • 3. Insert the following Javascript code on your page, with SIGN_URL being from the response given by the previous back end call.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">$('body').append('<iframe src="' + SIGN_URL + '" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; height: 320px; width: 240px" />')</script>

  • 4. You can listen for a signed event to close the iframe when appropiated.

    <script type="text/javascript">
        window.addEventListener('message', function (e) {
            // e.data.event       = EVENT_TYPE
            // e.data.documentId  = DOCUMENT_ID
            // e.data.signatureId = SIGNATURE_ID

            if (e.data.event === 'completed') {
                 $('iframe').remove();
            }
        })
    </script>

    Use one of the JS events as a trigger to close the iframe when wanted.
