Code snippet
curl -X 'POST' \ 'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'X-API-KEY: {your API key}' \ -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \ -F 'Message=' \ -F 'Signers={ "name": "Hanky", "emailAddress": "hankyWhites@gmail.com", "signerType": "Signer", "deliveryMode": "EmailAndSMS", "phoneNumber": { "countryCode": "{Signer country code}", "number": "{Signer phone number}" }, "formFields": [ { "id": "signature", "name": "signature", "fieldType": "Signature", "pageNumber": 1, "bounds": { "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 200, "height": 200 }, "isRequired": true } ], "locale": "EN" }' \ -F 'Files=@{your file}' \ -F 'Title={title}' \
var apiClient = new ApiClient("https://api.boldsign.com", "{your API key}"); var documentClient = new DocumentClient(apiClient); var documentFilePath = new DocumentFilePath { ContentType = "application/pdf", FilePath = "{Your file path}", }; var filesToUpload = new List<IDocumentFile> { documentFilePath, }; var signatureField = new FormField( id: "sign", isRequired: true, type: FieldType.Signature, pageNumber: 1, bounds: new Rectangle(x: 100, y: 100, width: 100, height: 50)); var formFieldCollections = new List<FormField>() { signatureField }; var signer = new DocumentSigner( signerName: "David", signerType: SignerType.Signer, signerEmail: "david@cubeflakes.com", formFields: formFieldCollections, locale: Locales.EN); signer.DeliveryMode = DeliveryMode.EmailAndSMS; signer.PhoneNumber = new PhoneNumber( countryCode: "{Signer country code}", number: "{Signer phone number}" ); var documentSigners = new List<DocumentSigner>() { signer }; var sendForSign = new SendForSign() { Title = "Agreement", Signers = documentSigners, Files = filesToUpload }; var documentCreated = documentClient.SendDocument(sendForSign);
import requests import json url = "https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send" signer_data = { "name": "Hanky", "emailAddress": "hankyWhites@gmail.com", "signerType": "Signer", "signerRole": "Signer", "deliveryMode": "EmailAndSMS", "phoneNumber": { "countryCode": "{Signer country code}", "number": "{Signer phone number}" }, "formFields": [ { "id": "signature", "name": "signature", "fieldType": "Signature", "pageNumber": 1, "bounds": { "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 200, "height": 200 }, "isRequired": True } ], "locale": "EN" } payload = { 'Signers': json.dumps(signer_data), 'Title': '{title}' } files = [ ('Files', ('{Your file name}', open('{Your file path}', 'rb'), 'application/pdf')) ] headers = { 'accept': 'application/json', 'X-API-KEY': '{Your API Key}' } response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files) print(response.text)
const axios = require('axios'); const FormData = require('form-data'); const fs = require('fs'); let data = new FormData(); data.append('Signers', '{\r\n "name": "Hanky", \r\n "emailAddress": "hankyWhites@gmail.com", \r\n "signerType": "Signer", \r\n "signerRole": "Signer", \r\n "deliveryMode": "EmailAndSMS",\r\n "phoneNumber": {\r\n "countryCode": "{Signer country code}",\r\n "number": "{Signer phone number}"\r\n },\r\n "formFields": [\r\n {\r\n "id": "signature",\r\n "name": "signature",\r\n "fieldType": "Signature",\r\n "pageNumber": 1,\r\n "bounds": {\r\n "x": 100,\r\n "y": 100,\r\n "width": 200,\r\n "height": 200\r\n },\r\n "isRequired": true\r\n }\r\n ],\r\n "locale": "EN"\r\n}'); data.append('Files', fs.createReadStream('{Your file path}')); data.append('Title', '{title}'); let config = { method: 'post', maxBodyLength: Infinity, url: 'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send', headers: { 'accept': 'application/json', 'X-API-KEY': '{Your API key}', ...data.getHeaders() }, data : data }; axios.request(config) .then((response) => { console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data)); }) .catch((error) => { console.log(error); });
Replace the values (Files,
Signers,
etc.) with the actual values. Set the value for deliveryMode
as EmailAndSMS,
and provide values for countryCode
and number
with the signer's country code and phone number.
Upon execution, the document will be created and send to signer via both SMS
and Email
, and a document ID will be generated.
