Sign API v2
Our Sign API v2 is a REST API using European identity providers for creating electronic signatures on contracts, declarations, forms and other documents.
Core capabilities
- OAuth2 for authentication: Secure API authorisation using the industry standard.
- Customisable, responsive signing interface: Tailor the signing flow and appearance to match your brand's look and feel across all devices.
- Standardised output formats: Generate electronically signed files in compliant XAdES (XML Advanced Electronic Signatures) or PAdES (PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures) formats.
Use case examples
- Collecting of signatures on multiple documents at the same time: Coordinate complex signature workflows where multiple signers need to sign several related documents (such as rental or loan agreements).
- Business-to-business (B2B) signing and sealing (Merchant signing): Support sealing and signing transactions involving corporate invoices and certificates, registration and de-registrations in public movables registry, as well as company registrations.
- Frictionless consent capturing: Record binding user consent for terms and conditions, GDPR updates or simple text statements.
- Long-term compliance & auditing: Automatically transfer finalised signed contracts to a tamper-proof repository with strict retention management.
