DocuSign Quick Start examples for Python

Repository: qs-python

These quick start examples provide straight-forward code examples for quickly trying the DocuSign eSignature API with the Python SDK.

The repo includes:

1. qs-01-python-embed-signing-ceremony

   Embedding a signing ceremony in your web application.

2. qs-02-python-send-envelope

   Sending a signing request via an email to the signer.

3. qs-03-python-list-envelopes

   Listing the envelopes in the user's account, including their status.

These examples do not include authentication. Instead, use the DocuSign DevCenter's OAuth token generator to create an access token.

For a Python JWT authentication example, see the eg-01-python-jwt repository. An OAuth Authorization Code Grant example is also being developed.

For more information, see the DocuSign DevCenter Examples section.

Installation

The examples were tested with Python v3.6. The SDK itself works with Python v2.7 or later.

Download or clone this repository. Then:

cd qs-python
pip3 install docusign_esign pendulum flask

Configure the example's settings

Each quick start example is a standalone file. You will configure each of the example files:

• Access token: Use the OAuth Token Generator. To use the token generator, you'll need a free DocuSign Developer's account.

  Each access token lasts 8 hours, you will need to repeat this process when the token expires. You can use the same access token for multiple examples.

• Account Id: After logging into the DocuSign Sandbox system, you can copy your Account Id from the dropdown menu by your name. See the figure:

  

• Signer name and email: Remember to try the DocuSign signing ceremony using both a mobile phone and a regular email client.

Run the examples

The embedded signing example provides a small web app's server. First, start the web app:

python3 qs-01-python-embed-signing-ceremony.py

Then open your browser to http://localhost:5000

Two of the examples are command line scripts:

python3 qs-02-python-send-envelope.py
python3 qs-03-python-list-envelopes.py
