# Collect e-signatures on a document

POST https://api.cloudraker.com/v1/spaces/{spaceId}/sign
Content-Type: application/json

Sends a PDF out for signature and tracks the envelope until every signer is done.

Each signer verifies their email with a one-time code and signs by typing their name. The completed document gets a signature certificate and a tamper-evident cryptographic seal, and comes back as a new file alongside `output.auditUrl`.

**Where the signatures land** — `placement`:

* `page` (default) — a signature certificate page is appended to the document.
* `tags` — each signer's stamp replaces a `[Signature N]` placeholder already present in the document. Every signer needs one, or the run fails.

**Always asynchronous.** The call returns `202` with `status: "needs_input"` as soon as the envelope exists, and stays there until the last signer completes.

**Managing the envelope** — every sign response, both the `202` and [the run](https://docs.cloudraker.com/api/cloud-raker-api/runs/get-run), carries `envelopeUrl`:

* [GET /v1/runs/\{id}/envelope](https://docs.cloudraker.com/api/cloud-raker-api/runs/get-run-envelope) — roster and per-signer state.
* [POST /v1/runs/\{id}/signers/\{signerId}/resend](https://docs.cloudraker.com/api/cloud-raker-api/runs/resend-run-signer) — issue a fresh link.
* [POST /v1/runs/\{id}/void](https://docs.cloudraker.com/api/cloud-raker-api/runs/void-run-envelope) — kill every pending link.

```json
{
  "file": { "id": "a04d6597-4e34-4a99-94ea-964c289a4c68" },
  "signers": [{ "name": "Ada Lovelace", "email": "ada@example.com" }],
  "message": "Please countersign by Friday.",
  "placement": "page"
}
```

Sign runs are exempt from the run TTL, so an envelope outlives the 7-day maximum and waits for its signers. Signing links are signer-held secrets: they never appear in `tasks[]` or anywhere else on the sender's API.

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `spaceId` (string, required)

### Query parameters

- `wait` (integer, optional, default: 60) — How many seconds to hold the request open waiting for the run to finish. Finishing inside the window returns `200` with the full run; running past it returns `202` with a `statusUrl` to poll. Send `0` to skip waiting entirely and always get the `202`.

### Body (application/json)

- `signers` (list of object, required) — Who has to sign, in order — up to 50 people, each with a `name` and an `email`. Every signer verifies their email with a one-time code, then signs by typing their name. Track them individually at `GET /v1/runs/{id}/envelope`.
  - `name` (string, required)
  - `email` (string, required)
- `file` (object or object, required) — An input file, given one of two ways. * `{ "url": "…", "name"?: "…", "processing"?: "…" }` — fetched over http(s) for this run and purged with it. * `{ "id": "…" }` — a file you already registered with `POST /v1/files`, reusable across runs and never re-parsed.
  - object
    - `url` (string, required)
    - `name` (string, optional)
    - `processing` (enum, optional)
      - Allowed values: `auto`, `ocr`, `simple`, `transcribe`, `transcribe_diarize`
  - object
    - `id` (string, required)
- `message` (string, optional) — A note included in the invitation email each signer receives.
- `placement` (enum, optional, default: page) — Where signatures land in the document. `page` appends a signature certificate page. `tags` puts each signer's stamp over a `[Signature N]` placeholder already present in the document — every signer needs one, or the run fails.
  - Allowed values: `page`, `tags`
- `metadata` (map from string to any, optional) — Arbitrary JSON you attach to the run and get back on every read of it. Use it to carry your own identifiers — an order number, a customer id — so a webhook or a polled run reconciles without a lookup table. Capped at 10 KB serialized.
- `webhook` (object or object, optional) — Where to deliver this run's events, given one of two ways. * `{ "url": "…" }` — a one-off https endpoint for this run only. * `{ "id": "whe_…" }` — a saved endpoint from `POST /v1/webhooks`. Runs hold the reference, so pausing or re-pointing that endpoint applies to this run too. Deliveries are at-least-once and signed — dedupe on `eventId` and verify against `GET /v1/webhooks/jwks.json`.
  - object
    - `url` (string, required)
  - object
    - `id` (string, required)
- `ttl` (integer, optional, default: 86400) — How long, in seconds, to keep this run and its files before purging them automatically. The maximum is 604800 (7 days). The deadline comes back as `expiresAt` on every read of the run. Call `POST /v1/runs/{id}/keep` before then to clear the TTL and move the results into a space permanently. E-signature runs are exempt — an envelope waits for its signers however long that takes.

## Response

### 200

The finished run.

- `object` ("sign_run", required)
- `id` (string, required)
- `status` (enum, required) — Where the run is in its life. | Status | Meaning | | --- | --- | | `queued` | Accepted, not started | | `processing` | Work in flight | | `needs_input` | Parked for a person — see `tasks[]` | | `processed` | Finished; `output` is populated | | `failed` | Finished unsuccessfully | | `cancelled` | Stopped on request | | `expired` | TTL elapsed and the data was purged | The last four are terminal.
  - Allowed values: `queued`, `processing`, `processed`, `failed`, `cancelled`, `expired`, `needs_input`
- `expiresAt` (string, required, nullable)
- `statusUrl` (string, required)
- `files` (list of object, required)
  - `id` (string, required)
  - `name` (string, required)
  - `status` (string, required)
  - `error` (string, optional)
- `envelopeUrl` (string, required)
- `file` (object, optional)
  - `id` (string, required)
  - `name` (string, required)
  - `status` (string, required)
  - `error` (string, optional)
- `error` (object, optional) — Why the run failed. Present whenever `status` is `failed`, and only then. `code` is the stable, snake_case reason (`input_unavailable`, `parse_failed`, …); `message` is the human-readable detail. Per-file and per-step failures are also reported in `files[].error` and, for a pipeline, `steps[].error`.
  - `code` (string, required)
  - `message` (string, required)
- `metadata` (map from string to any, optional)
- `tasks` (list of object, optional) — The human steps currently blocking the run. Present while `status` is `needs_input`. Each task has a `url` — a ready-made page you can send a person to — or you can drive it yourself through `GET` and `POST /v1/runs/{id}/task`. E-signature runs never carry `tasks[]`: their signing links are signer-held secrets, so use `envelopeUrl` instead.
  - `id` (string, required)
  - `title` (string, required)
  - `url` (string, required)
- `output` (object, optional) — The signed document. Present once every signer has completed. `file` is the sealed PDF, `signers[]` records who signed and when, and `auditUrl` points at the machine-readable audit trail.
  - `files` (list of object, required)
    - `id` (string, required)
    - `name` (string, required)
    - `url` (string, optional)
  - `file` (object, optional)
    - `id` (string, required)
    - `name` (string, required)
    - `url` (string, optional)
  - `envelopeId` (string, optional)
  - `signers` (list of object, optional)
    - `name` (string, required)
    - `email` (string, required)
    - `signedAt` (string, optional)
  - `auditUrl` (string, optional)

### 202

Accepted — still running, or awaiting human input.

- `object` (string, required)
- `id` (string, required)
- `status` (enum, required) — Where the run is in its life. | Status | Meaning | | --- | --- | | `queued` | Accepted, not started | | `processing` | Work in flight | | `needs_input` | Parked for a person — see `tasks[]` | | `processed` | Finished; `output` is populated | | `failed` | Finished unsuccessfully | | `cancelled` | Stopped on request | | `expired` | TTL elapsed and the data was purged | The last four are terminal.
  - Allowed values: `queued`, `processing`, `processed`, `failed`, `cancelled`, `expired`, `needs_input`
- `statusUrl` (string, required)
- `envelopeUrl` (string, optional)
- `tasks` (list of object, optional)
  - `id` (string, required)
  - `title` (string, required)
  - `url` (string, required)
