A Python wrapper for the HelloSign API
Install using easy_install
:
easy_install hellosign-python-sdk
Install using pip
:
pip install hellosign-python-sdk
Install from code:
git clone https://github.com/HelloFax/hellosign-python-sdk.git
cd hellosign-python-sdk
python setup.py install
In your application, import HSClient
:
from hellosign_sdk import HSClient
Then create a HSClient object and pass authentication information to initialize it:
# Initialize HSClient using email and password
client = HSClient(email_address="api_user@example.com", password="your_password")
# Initialize HSClient using api key
client = HSClient(api_key="your_api_key")
# Initialize HSClient using api token
client = HSClient(access_token="your_api_access_token")
Note: In case you initialize the HSClient with all the above credentials, the priority order is as follow: access_token, api_key, then email and password.
For more information about the wrapper, its methods and parameters visit our detailed API documentation on readthedocs.
account = client.get_account_info()
The account information is also stored in client.account
. For example, to print the email_address
of your account:
print client.account.email_address
client.account.callback_url = "https://www.example.com/callback"
client.update_account_info()
new_account = client.create_account("new_user@example.com")
signature_request = client.get_signature_request("fa5c8a0b0f492d768749333ad6fcc214c111e967")
print signature_request.requester_email_address
print signature_request.signature_request_id

Once the user edits the draft in the embedded iFrame and sends the signature request your app callback will receive a signature_request_sent
event containing a SignatureRequest
object. If we had used is_for_embedded_signing=True
, we would want to get the signature ids out of the SignatureRequest
from that event and fetch the signature urls at this point. In your event callback handler, you will need to do something like this:
client = HSClient(api_key='your_api_key')
event_data = json.loads(request.POST.get('json'))
if event_data['event']['event_type'] == 'signature_request_sent':
sig_req = event_data['signature_request']
for sig in sig_req['signature_request']['signatures']:
embedded_obj = client.get_embedded_object(sig['signature_id'])
sign_url = embedded_obj.sign_url
# Save sign_url somewhere
You can run the test suite by executing the following commands after you cloned the repo: Note that it requires to have a HelloSign account, with at least one template and one api app.
WARNING: We advise against running the tests against your personal account as they perform destructive actions.
cd hellosign_sdk
cp tests/test_helper.sample.py tests/test_helper.py
HELLOSIGN_API_KEY='YOUR API KEY'
HELLOSIGN_API_CLIENT_ID='YOUR APP CLIENT ID'
HELLOSIGN_API_CLIENT_SECRET='YOUR APP CLIENT SECRET'

We do not allow app callbacks (event or OAuth) to be set to localhost. However it is still possible to test callbacks against a local server. Tunneling services such as ngrok can help you set this up.
