Response

After a successful request, you should receive a response like this:

Caution: the original_file and signed_file links are temporary and expires in 60 minutes.

What you should do with this response is send the signature link to the signers through your application.

The signature link consists of the route:

https://app.zapsign.co/verificar/{{signer_token}}

Thus, in the example above, where we have two signers, you must send two signature links, each signer with their respective token:

- John Doe: https://app.zapsign.co/sign/921c115d-4a6e-445d-bdca-03fadedbbc0b

- Grumpy Jones: https://app.zapsign.co/sign/07fb0a0a-4b7d-49a5-bd7b-4958265c4e46

And now just wait for the signers to sign!

About the base64

Base64 its a simply way to convert files to text. You can check a more detailed definition here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64. Therefore, convert a file to base64 and send it as a text on the request`s body is easier then dealing with the multipart/form-data, for example.

To test the API you can manually convert your PDF into a base64 through a lot of websites, such as this one: https://base64.guru/converter/encode/pdf

When the API is alredy integrated to your system, look for the correspondent function in your software language to convert files to base64.

Watch out: you must send the base64_pdf parameter only with the base64 file conversion. Dont send the data:application/pdf;base64, on your parameter.

Dont want to work with base64? Upload your PDF in a public URL and use the url_pdf parameter.
