Multiple Annotation Leave feedback

API usage

There are steps that usage of GroupDocs.Annotation Cloud consists of:

Upload input document into cloud storage and other files, like image annotation (using File API)
Add annotation(s)
Download document with annotations (using File API)

HTTP POST ~/annotation/add

Swagger UI lets you call this REST API directly from the browser.

SDK examples

The API is completely independent of your operating system, database system or development language. We provide and support API SDKs in many development languages in order to make it even easier to integrate. You can see our available SDKs list here.
