eSignature APIs provide integrations for developers to connect their companies’ software with eSignature functionality. Vendors in this space provide APIs along with thorough documentation on how to access and use those APIs. By integrating with eSignature APIs, developers grant their organization the ability to gather signatures on documents shared electronically, eliminating the need for physical documents to record signatures.
eSignature APIs are directly related to E-Signature software. While E-Signature software provides an out-of-the-box solution, eSignature APIs give developers the tools to integrate eSignature functionality in a more customized way.
To qualify for inclusion in the eSignature APIs category, a product must:
Host APIs allowing developers to integrate eSignature functionalities in their apps
Provide documentation around API interactions and extensibility
