Downloading PDF from the webhook link (API)

Modified on Sat, 3 Oct at 2:53 PM

When a webhook notifies you about a change in a document's status, it also includes a file field — a ready-to-use link for downloading the PDF:

{
    "contract_id": 1234567,
    "state": "completed",
    "file": "https://api.signi.com/api/v1/contract/pdf/preview?hash=…",
    "attachments": [
        { "contract_id": 1234568, "state": "completed", "file": "https://api.signi.com/api/v1/contract/pdf/preview?hash=…" }
    ]
}

Just make a GET call to this address and the PDF is returned:

curl -o document.pdf "https://api.signi.com/api/v1/contract/pdf/preview?hash=…"

Good to know

  • The link is valid for 10 minutes. The hash is generated only for this webhook — download the file right after you receive it.
  • No API key is required — the link works on its own. Treat it as sensitive data.
  • Once the link expires, the call returns an error — in that case use the standard download via API, which works at any time.
  • Each attachment has its own link in the webhook.
