Introduction and Basic Concepts — Overview (API)

The basics worth knowing before you start working with the Signi API — from the first concepts to a reference overview of the entire JSON.

• Don't be afraid of the REST API — an introduction for non-programmers — the minimum of concepts (endpoint, JSON, curl, Postman) so you can try out the API.
• How to generate an API key — where to create the key in the app and how to handle it.
• Document lifecycle — document states from creation to completion and what you can do in each of them.
• JSON for creating a document — overview of all fields — a reference description of the entire JSON with instructions, field by field.
• Signing roles — who does what with a document — signature, approval, stamp, certificate, for information.
• Webhooks — automatic notifications of document state changes — Signi calls your application as soon as something happens.
• Errors and how to solve them — the most common error responses and what to do about them.
