What is the GetAccept REST API?
The GetAccept REST API is a fully-featured integration method that allows developers to programmatically interact with GetAccept. Instead of using pre-built integrations with specific CRMs or platforms, the REST API lets you build custom integrations tailored to your business needs.
Note: The REST API requires developer knowledge and custom code to implement, unlike pre-built integrations.
You can create documents, manage recipients, retrieve engagement data, and automate workflows directly from your own applications or systems.
The REST API is designed for teams that need deeper control over their document and sales processes,whether you're building a custom CRM connector, automating repetitive workflows, or synchronizing data between GetAccept and proprietary systems.
What You Can Do With the REST API
The GetAccept REST API supports a wide range of capabilities to automate and extend your document workflows:
Create and manage documents: Programmatically create contracts and send-outs without using the GetAccept UI
Manage recipients: Add, update, or configure recipient roles and signing order via API calls
Manage contacts: Create and update contact records in your GetAccept account
Configure pricing tables: Set up and modify pricing tables dynamically based on business logic
Retrieve document data: Access document status, recipient engagement details, and document metadata
Retrieve analytics: Pull engagement metrics, signing timelines, and other analytics data for reporting and business intelligence
Common Use Cases
The REST API enables several powerful workflows:
Custom CRM integrations: Build a custom connector between GetAccept and an internal or niche CRM system not covered by pre-built integrations
Automated document workflows: Trigger document creation and sending based on events in your business systems (e.g., when an opportunity is created, automatically generate and send a proposal)
Data synchronization: Keep GetAccept document data, recipient information, and engagement metrics synchronized with your own databases or data warehouse
Batch operations: Automate sending documents to hundreds of recipients programmatically, rather than one by one in the UI
Custom reporting: Extract GetAccept analytics and engagement data to build dashboards and reports in your own tools
Subscription Requirements
Access to the GetAccept REST API requires a Professional plan or above. The API is an add-on feature on the Professional plan and is included in the Enterprise plan (with read access). If you do not yet have access and would like to use the REST API, please reach out to our sales team via the in-app chat or phone, and they will be happy to assist you.
Authentication and Security
The REST API uses API keys and tokens to authenticate requests. Each API key is tied to your GetAccept account and grants access to your documents, contacts, and account data. You should treat API keys as sensitive credentials,never share them publicly or commit them to version control. For detailed guidance on generating, managing, and using API keys, refer to the full API documentation.
Rate Limits and Best Practices
The GetAccept REST API enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and system stability. As a developer integrating with the API, you should implement request queuing, respect rate limit headers in API responses, and avoid making unnecessary duplicate requests. For specific rate limit thresholds and detailed best practices, consult the official API documentation.
Full API Documentation
The GetAccept REST API is fully documented with complete endpoint specifications, request/response formats, code examples, and interactive API explorers. Visit the full API documentation to explore all available endpoints, see code examples in multiple languages, and test requests directly.
Getting Started
To begin using the GetAccept REST API:
Confirm you have a Professional plan or higher (or reach out to sales if you need access)
Generate an API key from your account settings (navigate to Settings → Integrations)
Review the official API documentation for endpoint details and authentication methods
Build your custom integration using your preferred programming language or HTTP client
Test your integration in a sandbox environment before deploying to production
Webhooks and Automation
If you need to respond to events in GetAccept (such as when a document is signed or a recipient opens a send-out), you can configure webhooks to receive real-time notifications. Webhooks are configured separately from the REST API. For details on setting up and managing webhooks, see the Webhook settings article.
Alternative Integration Methods
GetAccept offers several ways to integrate with other systems. If you don't need the full flexibility of the REST API, consider these alternatives:
Pre-built integrations: Native integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Pipedrive, and other platforms (no coding required)
Zapier: Connect GetAccept to 200+ platforms using pre-built triggers and actions (minimal setup required). See Custom integrations with Zapier
GetAccept Automation: A native iPaaS platform for workflow automation with 500+ connectors. See Getting Started with GetAccept Automation
