Our **SIGNIUS API** is primarily used to delegate a document for electronic signing.

It was written in a comprehensible manner to describe all actions related to document and signees management.

Our Application Programming Interface is a REST-type API. It has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts [JSON-encoded](https://www.json.org/json-en.html) request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses and uses standard HTTP response codes and verbs.
