Earlier this summer, our friends at Docusign took their REST APIs to General Availability (GA). Docusign has had an API for quite some time, but is now enjoying the benefits of REST to grow its community.
At the beginning of this year DocuSign started executing on a strategy to put together a brand new API. As a part of redesign we also decided to go forward with full adoption of REST protocol. This was no easy task as our existing DocuSign API was processing millions of documents and was responsible for about one-third of all traffic across the eSignature industry. Given that huge volume, we needed to create an exceptional architecture and design to support our customers’ growing applications and integrations. It was our responsibility to make sure the redesign fueled growth and acceptance across the industry–not just at DocuSign.
DocuSign, a leading eSignature Transaction Management Platform is on a mission to make the task of integrating electronic signatures into your applications easier. It has announced the release of the company’s new DocuSign eSignature REST API with a revamped Developer portal that can get you started with implementing eSignatures in your applications within hours.
This weekend DocuSign, the company I work for, was at the first AngelHack hackathon in San Francisco. With nearly 200 people attending (over 150 developers), we were excited to see what applications can be enhanced with the DocuSign API, as well as all the different types of apps developers built.
This past week 14 new mashups were added to our mashup directory and 23 different APIs were used to build them. Some of the newer or less frequently seen APIs include 8coupons, AddThis Analytics , Education.com, iFixit, KooKoo, Sears and Wordstream Keyword Tool. The most often used APIs this week are 8coupons, Google Maps and Twilio. And the most commonly used types of APIs were Shopping (5 APIs, 6 mashups), Mapping (3 APIs, 5 mashups) and Telephony (2 APIs, 4 mashups). The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
This past week 19 new mashups were added to our mashup directory and 37 different APIs were used to build them. Some of the newer or less frequently seen APIs include Aviary Feather, Aviary Suite, Education.com, Exchange Rate, Trulia, Yandex and ZoomInfo. The most often used APIs this week are Facebook, Google Maps and Twitter. And the most commonly used types of APIs were Social (7 APIs, 13 mashups), Shopping (3 APIs, 4 mashups) and Search (3 APIs, 3 mashups). The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
Close on the heels of API Hackday to be held in Portland, comes another App Hackathon, this time in the Bay Area. The AT&T Mobile App Hackathon invites mobile developers for a day of learning, networking and building mobile applications.
For at least thirty years, people have talked about the “paperless office.” With cloud-based services, it may finally be possible. Yet, for many organizations, a major hang-up is contracts, which require ink signatures. In our first public API report, sponsored by DocuSign, we looked at electronic signature platforms. Specifically, we examined the features and developer friendliness of e-signature APIs, which allow non-ink signatures to be automated and integrated into business processes. Without a doubt, e-signatures are a growing field, as evidenced by the recent acquisition of EchoSign by Adobe.
This past week 16 new mashups were added to our mashup directory and 31 different APIs were used to build them. Some of the newer or less frequently seen APIs include Dribbble, Jamendo and Long URL Please. The most often used APIs this week are Amazon S3, Freebase and Twitter. And the most commonly used types of APIs were Shopping (4 APIs, 4 mashups), Photos (4 APIs, 4 mashups) and Music (4 APIs, 4 mashups). The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
During an impressive 35 hour stretch over the weekend, over 100 developers came together in San Francisco to hack the electronic signature using the DocuSign Enterprise API and other APIs along the way. The winners show the breadth of applications built on DocuSign’s platform, taking e-signatures beyond the legal document.
