Integration

One POST. Signed agreement back.

Send documents, capture consent, receive HMAC-signed webhooks, and store the sealed audit trail — without leaving your product's flow.

curl https://api.ziasign.com/v1/contracts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZIASIGN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "subject": "Subscription Agreement — Acme",
    "documents": [{ "name": "agreement.pdf", "data": "<base64>" }],
    "signers": [{ "email": "[email protected]", "name": "Jane Doe" }],
    "webhook_url": "https://app.example.com/webhooks/ziasign"
  }'
Evaluation checklist

What a SaaS team should demand from an e-sign API.

01

API-first, not API-also

Every platform capability — send, route, remind, seal — is exposed through the same REST API our own apps use. No second-class endpoints.

02

Signed webhooks

HMAC-signed, retry-safe events for envelope sent, viewed, signed, completed. Idempotent by design so replays never corrupt state.

03

Tenant isolation & scoped auth

Server-to-server tokens, scoped API keys, OAuth2/JWT patterns, and per-tenant isolation for multi-tenant SaaS.

04

Compliance you can resell

ESIGN, UETA, eIDAS alignment with RFC 3161 timestamps and SHA-256 hash-chained audit trails your customers can rely on.

05

Published, predictable pricing

Free sandbox, production tiers from published rates, pay for contracts shipped — forecastable COGS for your product.

06

Versioned forever

Stable versions stay stable. Breaking changes carry a 24-month deprecation window, so your roadmap is yours.

Questions

SaaS eSignature API, answered.

What is a SaaS eSignature API?

A SaaS eSignature API lets your product create, send, and track legally binding e-signatures programmatically — your users sign inside your app while the API handles identity, consent capture, audit trails, and compliance.

How do I embed e-signatures in my SaaS product?

With ZiaSign: create a contract via one POST to /v1/contracts with your document and signers, receive signing links or embed the flow, then listen for HMAC-signed webhooks for viewed/signed/completed events. Typical integrations ship in an afternoon.

Is there a free eSignature API sandbox?

Yes. The ZiaSign sandbox includes 500 production-shaped contracts, free, with the same API surface as production. No credit card and no sales call required.

Are API-created signatures legally binding?

Yes. Signatures created through the ZiaSign API are legally binding in 180+ countries under ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS, with court-ready audit trails (RFC 3161 timestamps, SHA-256 hash chain).

What makes an e-sign platform API-first?

API-first means the API is the product, not an add-on: full capability parity with the UI, real SDKs, signed webhooks, semantic versioning with long deprecation windows, and pricing designed for programmatic volume.
