⚠ This SDK has been deprecated ⚠

This SDK is now deprecated and will no longer receive feature updates or bug fixes. Security fixes will still be applied as needed.

The new Dropbox.Sign SDK can be found at hellosign/dropbox-sign-dotnet!

The new SDK and this legacy SDK are not backwards-compatible!

Please see here for a comprehensive migration guide.


HelloSign .NET SDK

Build status

An official library for using the HelloSign API written in C#.NET and powered by RestSharp.

Getting Help

  • Use the Issue Tracker to report bugs or missing functionality in this library.
  • Send an email to [email protected] to request help with our API or your account.

Installation

The HelloSign .NET SDK can be installed using the NuGet package manager, under the package name HelloSign (package details).

If you prefer not to use NuGet, you can download a ZIP archive containing the built .dll files from the Releases page, or clone this repository and build the project yourself (see "Build from Source" below).

Usage

First, use our namespace:

using HelloSign;

Create a client object:

// Using your account's API Key
var client = new Client("ACCOUNT API KEY HERE");

// Or, using an OAuth 2.0 Access Token:
var client = new Client();
client.UseOAuth2Authentication("OAUTH ACCESS TOKEN HERE");

Error Handling

Most methods will throw a relevant exception if something goes wrong. This includes when our server returns an error message documented here.

You should always be prepared to catch these exceptions and handle them appropriately. Refer to HelloSign/Exceptions.cs in this repository for information about the custom exception classes this library defines.

Warnings

Some API responses include one or more warnings if there was a non-fatal problem with your request. At any time, you may inspect the contents of client.Warnings (a List of HelloSign.Warning objects) and output them as you see fit.

Callback Event Parsing

If you're implementing a server that will receive callbacks from HelloSign, this library can parse the received JSON into a native object and perform the hash-based integrity check for you.

String eventJson = ...; // Get this string from the 'json' POST parameter in the HTTP request
Event myEvent = client.ParseEvent(eventJson);

// The Event object contains accessors for all related data.
Console.WriteLine("Received event with type: " + event.EventType);
SignatureRequest request = myEvent.SignatureRequest;

Injecting Custom Request Parameters

In cases where this SDK might not directly support specifying a particular API request parameter that needs to be passed, there is now a way to inject your own custom parameters into the request before the SDK performs it.

Client.AdditionalParameters is a Dictionary object you can add these extra keys and values to. These parameters will be injected into all following API calls made by the SDK until you remove them. Here's an example:

client.AdditionalParameters.Add("white_labeling_options", "{'primary_button_color':'#00b3e6'}");
var app = new ApiApp { Name = "Foo", Domain = "example.com" };
app = client.CreateApiApp(app)
client.AdditionalParameters.Remove("white_labeling_options");

Account Methods

Get your Account details

var account = client.GetAccount();
Console.WriteLine("My Account ID is: " + account.AccountId);

Update your Account Callback URL

var account = client.UpdateAccount(new Uri("https://example.com/hellosign.asp"));
Console.WriteLine("Now my Callback URL is: " + account.CallbackUrl);

Create a new Account

// Throws exception if account already exists
var account = client.CreateAccount("[email protected]");
Console.WriteLine("The new Account's ID is: " + account.AccountId);

Signature Request Methods

Send Signature Request using files (non-Embedded)

var request = new SignatureRequest();
request.Title = "NDA with Acme Co.";
request.Subject = "The NDA we talked about";
request.Message = "Please sign this NDA and then we can discuss more. Let me know if you have any questions.";
request.AddSigner("[email protected]", "Jack");
request.AddSigner("[email protected]", "Jill");
request.AddCc("[email protected]");
request.AddFile("c:\users\me\My Documents\nda.txt");
request.AddFile("c:\users\me\My Documents\AppendixA.txt");
request.Metadata.Add("custom_id", "1234");
request.Metadata.Add("custom_text", "NDA #9");
request.TestMode = true;
var response = client.SendSignatureRequest(request);
Console.WriteLine("New Signature Request ID: " + response.SignatureRequestId);

Note: You can optionally pass an API App client ID as a second parameter to SendSignatureRequest.

Send Signature Request using files and text tags with custom fields (non-Embedded)

This example uses custom fields and text tags, using the AdditionalParamaters.add method:

var request = new SignatureRequest();
request.Title = "Sokovia Accords as discussed";
request.Subject = "Sokovia Accords - Please Sign";
request.Message = "Please sign ASAP";
request.AddSigner("[email protected]", "Anthony Stark");
request.AddSigner("[email protected]", "Steven Rogers");
request.AddCc("[email protected]");
request.AddFile("sokovia_accords.PDF");
client.AdditionalParameters.Add("custom_fields", "[{\"name\": \"Address\", \"value\": \"123 Main Street\"}, {\"name\": \"Phone\", \"value\": \"555-5555\"}]");
request.UseTextTags = true;
request.HideTextTags = true;
request.TestMode = true;
var response = client.SendSignatureRequest(request);
Console.WriteLine("New Signature Request ID: " + response.SignatureRequestId);

Send Signature Request using files and form fields (non-Embedded)

var request = new SignatureRequest();
request.Title = "NDA with Acme Co.";
request.Subject = "The NDA we talked about";
request.Message = "Please sign this NDA and then we can discuss more. Let me know if you have any questions.";
request.AddSigner("[email protected]", "Jack");
request.AddFile("c:\users\me\My Documents\nda.pdf").WithFields(
    //            id      type                     page    x    y    w   h   req signer
    new FormField("chk1", FormField.TypeCheckbox,     1, 140,  72,  36, 36, true,     0),
    new FormField("txt1", FormField.TypeText,         1, 140, 144, 225, 20, true,     0),
    new FormField("dat1", FormField.TypeDateSigned,   1, 140, 216, 225, 52, true,     0),
    new FormField("sig1", FormField.TypeSignature,    1, 140, 288, 225, 52, true,     0),
);
request.TestMode = true;
var response = client.SendSignatureRequest(request);
Console.WriteLine("New Signature Request ID: " + response.SignatureRequestId);

Send Signature Request using a template (non-Embedded)

var request = new TemplateSignatureRequest();
request.AddTemplate("TEMPLATE ID HERE");
request.Subject = "Purchase Order";
request.Message = "Glad we could come to an agreement.";
request.AddSigner("Client", "[email protected]", "George");
request.AddCc("Accounting", "[email protected]");
request.AddCustomField("Cost", "$20,000");
request.TestMode = true;
var response = client.SendSignatureRequest(request);
Console.WriteLine("New Template Signature Request ID: " + response.SignatureRequestId);

Note: You can optionally pass an API App client ID as a second parameter to SendSignatureRequest.

Create Embedded Signature Request using files

var request = new SignatureRequest();
request.Title = "NDA with Acme Co.";
request.Subject = "The NDA we talked about";
request.Message = "Please sign this NDA and then we can discuss more. Let me know if you have any questions.";
request.AddSigner("[email protected]", "Jack");
request.AddSigner("[email protected]", "Jill");
request.AddCc("[email protected]");
request.AddFile("c:\users\me\My Documents\nda.txt");
request.AddFile("c:\users\me\My Documents\AppendixA.txt");
request.Metadata.Add("custom_id", "1234");
request.Metadata.Add("custom_text", "NDA #9");
request.TestMode = true;
var response = client.CreateEmbeddedSignatureRequest(request, "CLIENT ID HERE");
Console.WriteLine("New Embedded Signature Request ID: " + response.SignatureRequestId);

foreach (var result in allRequests)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Signature request: " + result.SignatureRequestId);

    if (result.IsComplete) == true)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Signature request is complete.");
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Signature request is not complete");

Build from Source

Windows

Use Visual Studio (Express) 2017 or newer.

Linux (and OSX?) using DotNet SDK + Mono

To create Debug builds for both the library (HelloSign.dll) and the test application (HelloSignTestApp.dll), run:

dotnet build

Or, to create Release builds:

dotnet build -c Release

Note: The .NET Framework build target will not be used when running this on a non-Windows system. Only .NET Standard 2.0 artifacts will be created.

Packaging for NuGet

  1. cd HelloSign
  2. nuget pack HelloSign.csproj -Prop Configuration=Release
