Developer API & SDK

39 endpoints. Postman collection. Python SDK. Swagger UI.

IUSign's REST API exposes every platform capability — document upload, envelope creation, signer management, status tracking, audit export, webhook configuration, and tenant branding.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Generate an API key from Settings → Developer → API Keys (sk_live_ or sk_test_ prefix).

  2. 2

    Use the key as a Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxx.

  3. 3

    Upload a document via POST /api/v1/documents/upload (multipart/form-data).

  4. 4

    Create an envelope via POST /api/v1/envelopes with recipients, fields, and signing order.

  5. 5

    Send the envelope via POST /api/v1/envelopes/{id}/send.

  6. 6

    Configure a webhook via POST /api/v1/webhooks to receive real-time status updates.

  7. 7

    Monitor usage via GET /api/v1/usage — request counts, latency, error rates.

Technical Details

39 endpoints across 11 categories: Auth, Documents, Envelopes, Signing, Audit, Webhooks, API Keys, Templates, Tenants, Public Links, Admin.

Authentication: JWT (HS256, 24h expiry) for user auth. API keys (SHA256 hashed, Redis cached) for programmatic access.

Rate limiting: 50 req/day (free), 500 req/hr (solo), 2000 req/hr (growth).

Idempotency: X-Idempotency-Key header — 24-hour cache, graceful Redis fallback.

Webhooks: HMAC-SHA256 signature in X-IUSign-Signature header. Constant-time comparison. 5 retries.

Python SDK

The iusign Python package wraps every API endpoint in a fluent client. Install via pip install -e sdks/python/ (local).

Postman Collection

Export the IUSign_API_Collection.postman_collection.json file and import it into Postman. It includes 35+ requests organized into 5 folders. Environment variables for base_url and api_key are auto-configured.

Webhook Verification

Every webhook POST includes X-IUSign-Signature: sha256=hmac. Verify by computing hmac_sha256(secret, request_body) and comparing in constant time. Never use == for signature comparison — it's vulnerable to timing attacks.
