# GetAccept REST API Overview

Overview of the GetAccept REST API, including authentication, capabilities, and how to request access.

May 22, 2026

## What you can do with the REST API

The REST API is designed for teams that need deeper control over their document and sales processes. Common capabilities include:

- **Create and manage documents** programmatically.
- **Manage recipients** and signing order.
- **Manage contacts.**
- **Retrieve document and engagement data** for reporting and downstream automation.

## Authentication

The GetAccept REST API authenticates using one of two methods:

- **Token-based authentication.**
- **OAuth 2.0**, which is configured by GetAccept Tech Support.

**Note:** GetAccept does **not** use API keys. If you have seen older guidance referring to API keys or an "Integrations > API key" settings page, that guidance is incorrect. Reach out to Tech Support to provision the correct credentials.

## Common use cases

- **Custom CRM integrations** for an internal or niche CRM not covered by a pre-built integration.
- **Automated document workflows** that trigger document creation and sending from events in your business systems.
- **Data synchronization** to keep document and recipient data in sync with your own databases or warehouse.
- **Custom reporting** to extract engagement and signing data into your BI stack.

## Webhooks and events

If you need GetAccept to push event data to your system rather than polling the API, use webhooks. Webhooks are configured by GetAccept Tech Support, not in the core app. See [Webhook settings](https://help.getaccept.com/en/articles/8094998).

## Alternative integration methods

If you do not need the full flexibility of the REST API, GetAccept offers:

- **Pre-built integrations** with Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Pipedrive, and others. See [Integrations settings](https://help.getaccept.com/en/articles/8094995).
- **GetAccept Automation**, a native iPaaS for workflow automation with hundreds of pre-built connectors.

## Getting started

Contact your GetAccept representative or Tech Support to provision API credentials (token or OAuth 2.0) and to request the current parameter reference. See also [How to Use the GetAccept Public API](https://help.getaccept.com/en/articles/2393314).
