About the Signer API

Use the API to manage Sovos Signer operations and integrate them with document management systems or web applications that require secure digital signatures.

The Application Programming Interface (API) follows REST architectural principles. Clients submit envelopes with documents in Base64 format and receive signed documents.

The main features include:

Envelopes endpoints
The endpoints manage the entire signing process. Users create and cancel envelopes containing documents for signature.
OAuth and OpenID Connect authentication
The API authenticates using OAuth 2.0, which provides secure resource access without exposing credentials. OpenID Connect (OIDC) extends OAuth 2.0 to verify identity and retrieve user profile information, including biometric credentials for signatures.
