The Docubee API is a set of endpoints that allows you to interact programmatically with your workflows, instances, and documents. Before you can do that, you will need to create an API access token for your workspace and send it to the server in a header to authenticate your requests. You can create token access to the API from the Docubee dashboard. To access the Docubee API, you’ll need an account.

In this article:

• Add API access token to you account
• Revoke API access token from your account

Before you Begin

• If you don’t have an Docubee account, create one! – Use the following link https://docubee.app/signup?source=eSigApi to create an account and receive your Quick Sign API token for your workspace.
  
  
  • To generate a new token from your workspace settings, refer to the instructions in Add API Access Token.

Connect Applications and Automate Workflows

When important events happen in one of your solutions, your application can be programmed to use it as a trigger and begin an instance of your workflow. Our Docubee API connects at the workspace level so your teams can connect to whichever applications they need for their business processes.
