Getting started

BoldSign is an eSignature software with an intuitive RESTful API that can be accessed using any server-side programming language. It allows you to access and build your own application that interacts with the BoldSign eSignature API.

We designed our REST API to be concise and straightforward. You can achieve any action with a single API call, and there is no need to make multiple API calls to send a single signature request.

The BoldSign API outputs data in JSON format is stateless, and verifies each request against an API key or OAuth access token. You can manually retrieve the API key via the BoldSign Web App.

The following are some of the key features of BoldSign.

Customize the appearance for your signers by incorporating your brand's logo, colors, and legal terms. You can also add and manage multiple brands within a single account and select the appropriate brand before sending each document.

You can embed a fully customizable document sending and/or signing process within your application with custom branding and an email workflow.

Positioning signature or input fields through x- and y-coordinates in a dynamic document is a complex task even for seasoned developers. Using our text tag feature, developers can put invisible text in the place of fields, and the BoldSign API will automatically convert those to actual fields before sending.

Sending documents on behalf of others is one of the most wanted features for multitenancy or SaaS software companies. This is so simple, get consent from your client and send the document on behalf of your client.

The template creation process can be embedded into your application. Your users don’t need to leave your application.

Save your computer resources by using BoldSign webhooks to listen for any changes in document statuses. Our webhooks are fault-tolerant and highly reliable. That is, even if your services are down in an unlikely event, we will retry the webhooks for 8 hours.

Manage users and teams by inviting users to the team, resending or canceling invitations, updating user details, and more.

Manage the documents sent out for signature, organize, download document, audit trail, delete, and more options.
