Information for Enterprise and Express customers
We support our existing Enterprise and Express Electronic Signing solutions on our new platform.
- If you are a new customer or have recently migrated to our new platform, see our guide on setting up an API integration below.
- If you are an existing customer but have not yet migrated to our new platform you can find the documentation to use with your established integration here:
Set up an API integration
If you are a new customer or have recently migrated to our new platform, you can now use our existing Enterprise and Express Electronic Signing solutions on our new platform.
Setting up an API integration is the most flexible way of testing our signature solutions. You can use your preferred IDE, Framework, Postman, etc. using credentials provided by Signicat.
Before you set up an API integration, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the OpenAPI reference documentation to learn about available endpoints and their properties.
Initial preparations
If you don't have an account already, you need to sign up for a free Signicat account:
Sign up to Signicat
- Register as a user in the Signicat Dashboard.
You can find out how to do this in our Sign up to Signicat guide. - In the Signicat Dashboard, set up an organisation and an account. Additionally, to use our Express service, you will need to set up a domain.
We recommend that you create a sandbox account to test our services before implementing them in a production account.
Accessing the Electronic Signing solutions
- To access the Electronic Signing solutions, you need to create an API client. You can find out how to do this in our guide on Accessing Signicat API products.
- Once you have set up an API client, add
Signaturein the Permissions tab of your API client.ImportantIf you cannot access the Permissions tab, this means that you do not have the correct role to manage permissions for your organisation. In this case we need to prepare your account for our Electronic Signing solutions by giving you the correct permissions. To do this, you need to contact us by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard.
- To access the Electronic Signing APIs, you must use client credentials (client ID and secret) provided by Signicat. To obtain your own client credentials, see the general step-by-step guide, Accessing API products.
- Use the client credentials you obtained in the previous step to obtain an access token. For details on how to do this, see the general section, Obtaining an access token.
- When you have received the access token, you can use it in all requests to the Electronic Signing APIs (as the HTTP Bearer authentication header).
Differences between our old and new platforms
Our new platform introduces new endpoints for our established products:
| API | new API URL | old API URL |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise Sign API | https://api.signicat.com/enterprise/sign | https://id.signicat.com/sign |
| Express Signature API | https://api.signicat.com/express/sign | https://api.signicat.io/signature |
| Enterprise SOAP web services gateway | https://api.signicat.com/enterprise/ws/ | https://id.signicat.com/ws |
For more information on differences between our old and new platforms, take a look at our migration guides, which provide an overview of the changes.
Our Enterprise SOAP web services are available to existing customers only. If you are working on a new integration or are planning to upgrade from an older version of our DocumentService, PackagingService or ArchiveService SOAP APIs, we strongly recommend that you use our RESTful Sign API instead.
