E-Signatures

The Signatures API sends a PDF for electronic signature and returns a cryptographically signed PDF with a tamper-evident audit page (eIDAS fortified electronic signature). It is designed as a straightforward migration target for DocuSeal users.

How it works

Create a signature request from a PDF, the field positions, and the signer(s). You receive a hosted signing link per signer.
The signer opens the link, reviews the document, and signs in the browser.
Poll the request or subscribe to the signature_completed webhook, then download the signed PDF.

No email is sent by default. You get the signing links back and use them in your own flow. The signing page is meetergo-branded (and available in German), so you do not need to host your own signing page.

Coordinate model (same as DocuSeal)

Field positions are given as areas using normalized coordinates: x, y, w, h are fractions of the page (0–1) from the top-left corner, and page is 1-indexed. This matches DocuSeal, so existing field layouts port directly.

Create a request

curl https://api.meetergo.com/v4/signatures \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live:..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Order confirmation",
    "language": "de",
    "completedRedirectUrl": "https://app.example.com/contracts/123/signed",
    "file": "<base64-encoded PDF>",
    "fields": [
      { "name": "signature", "type": "signature",
        "areas": [{ "x": 0.1, "y": 0.85, "w": 0.35, "h": 0.07, "page": 1 }] }
    ],
    "signers": [
      { "email": "john.doe@example.com", "name": "John Doe", "role": "First Party" }
    ]
  }'

The response includes a signingUrl per signer. Field types: signature, initials, text, date, number. Optional: language (en/de), completedRedirectUrl (where the signer goes after signing), and expiresAt. Endpoint details and schemas are in the API Reference under Signatures V4 (POST /v4/signatures, GET /v4/signatures/{id}, GET /v4/signatures/{id}/document, DELETE /v4/signatures/{id}, GET /v4/signatures/ping).

Get notified

Subscribe a webhook to the signature_completed event instead of polling. When a request is fully signed, meetergo POSTs the request id, signer, and a download URL for the signed PDF.

Migrating from DocuSeal

DocuSeal	meetergo
`POST /submissions/pdf`	`POST /v4/signatures`
`GET /submissions/{id}`	`GET /v4/signatures/{id}`
document `url` from the submission	`GET /v4/signatures/{id}/document`
`DELETE /submissions/{id}` (archive)	`DELETE /v4/signatures/{id}`
`GET /templates?limit=1` (connection test)	`GET /v4/signatures/ping`
`send_email: false` + your own branded page	default behaviour; links are returned and the signing page is already branded

The areas coordinate model is identical, so field layouts carry over directly.

Signatures are eIDAS fortified electronic signatures: the document is cryptographically signed (PAdES, with a qualified timestamp) and a tamper-evident audit page is appended.
