Whether you’re initiating a transaction, appending your signature, or simply monitoring the progress as a CC’d recipient, accessing your finalized documents should be seamless and hassle-free. Today, we’ll explore how to download a completed eSignature document using BoldSign’s API. Let’s get started.

Initiating Document Download Using BoldSign API

The first step in downloading a completed eSignature document via the BoldSign API is to initiate the download request. This requires the document ID of the specific document you wish to download. BoldSign supports REST API, which means you can use any server-side programming language to call the BoldSign APIs. Let’s look at how to initiate the download process using different programming languages.

Code Snippets

Curl

    curl -X GET 'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/download?documentId={Your document Id}' 
    -H 'accept: application/json' 
    -H 'X-API-KEY: {your-api-key}'

    var apiClient = new ApiClient("https://api.boldsign.com", "Your API-KEY");
    var documentClient = new DocumentClient(apiClient);
    var documentStream = documentClient.DownloadDocument("{Your document Id}");

Python

    import requests
    url = "https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/download?documentId={Your document Id}"
    payload={}
    headers = {
      'accept': 'application/json',
      'X-API-KEY': '{your API key}'
    }
    response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
    print(response.text)

Node js

    const axios = require('axios');
    const response = axios.get('https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/download', {
        params: {
            'documentId': '{Your document Id}'
        },
        responseType: "stream",
        headers: {
            'accept': 'application/json',
            'X-API-KEY': '{your API key}'
        }
    });

PHP

    <?php
    require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
    use GuzzleHttp\Client;
    use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
    $client = new Client();
    $headers = [
      'accept' => 'application/json',
      'X-API-KEY' => '{your-api-key}'
    ];
    $request = new Request('GET', 'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/download?documentId={Your document Id}', $headers);
    $res = $client->sendAsync($request)->wait();
    echo $res->getBody();

Handling the Document Stream

After you’ve initiated the document download request, BoldSign’s API returns the document stream, which contains the completed eSignature document. You can then process the document stream depending on your application’s requirements. For instance, you may choose to save the document to a local file system, integrate it into another system, or display it to the user for further action.

Conclusion

In conclusion, downloading completed eSignature documents via the BoldSign API is convenient. By leveraging BoldSign’s API, you can seamlessly integrate document retrieval capabilities into your applications, streamlining workflow processes and enhancing the user experience.
