How to Apply Expiration Date for eSignature Requests Through API


 

Ensuring documents are signed on time is essential. Setting an expiration date adds a layer of security to the document, ensuring it is only valid for a specified period.

You can configure an expiration date for your document through the BoldSign API by specifying the expiration value with the expiration date type. Once the expiration date is reached, the document will no longer be available for signing.

Code snippets

Let’s see how to add expiration date via the BoldSign API in various programming languages.


curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'X-API-KEY: {your API key}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'Message={document message}' \
  -F 'Signers={
  "name": "alexgayle",
  "emailAddress": "alexgayle@boldsign.dev",
  "signerType": "Signer",
  "formFields": [
    {
      "id": "textbox1",
      "name": "textbox1",
      "filetype": "Textbox",
      "pageNumber": 1,
      "bounds": {
        "x": 140,
        "y": 140,
        "width": 82,
        "height": 32
      },
      "isRequired": true
    }
  ]
}' \
  -F 'ExpiryDays={The number of days after which the document expires}' \
  -F 'Files=@{your file}' \
  -F 'Title={title}' \
  -F 'ExpiryDateType={set the expirydatetype}' \
  -F 'ExpiryValue={expiryvalue}' \
