    Search for multiple signatures

    On this page

    Sometimes you may want to search for electronic signatures of different types simultaneously GroupDocs.Signature Cloud allows searching documents for different signature types in an easy and intuitive way. In common words the idea is to pass collection of desired signature types to Search method.

    API usage

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

    1. Upload input document into cloud storage
    2. Search signatures

    For storage operations, like uploading or downloading documents, please refer to the corresponding articles of this manual.

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

    cURL example 

    
// First get JSON Web Token

    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.
