API (Application Programming Interface) refers to an interface or contact point for software programs to share information with each other. By integrating our APIs with your systems, SignTime features will become available to use directly from your system.
Why Integrate?
Many companies have been switching from paper-based document delivery to electronic delivery which which helps to keep documents organized and increase efficiency. However after sending a few documents electronically, maybe you have had any of the following thoughts pop-up. If so, it might be a nice time to consider an API integration with systems already in use.
API integration can not only increase efficiency by allowing documents to be sent automatically, but can help to reduce any human errors that may occur when adding recipient information manually (name, email address, etc).

Create and Send New Documents
Normally when sending documents using SignTime, a user would manually upload a document, add recipient information, add field components, preview, and send in the SignTime application.
However, with an API integration it is possible to automate the whole process, requiring no manual operations.
Send New Documents Using Templates
Creating a new document from a template created in advance saves users from having to upload a document, add field components, and send the same document multiple times. This is easy to do manually, but with an API integration it becomes even easier and efficient!
Add a Timestamp and Store Documents
It can be easy to forget where a specific file is stored when you are surrounded by thousands of documents. With SignTime, users can now store different types of documents all in one place.
How to Use SignTime API
SignTime API is only included in our "Prime Plans".

Creating an OAuth Application
Creating an OAuth application would be the first step. Once you have an OAuth application, we will provide you with an "key" which acts like a login ID, as well as a "secret key" which acts as a password used for authentication. When the authentication is complete, you are ready to start reading and writing SignTime data using each API.
