DocuSeal

DocuSeal is an open-source document signing platform that provides a REST API for building electronic signature workflows into applications. The API supports creating and managing templates, sending signature requests via submissions, and tracking signing status through submitter endpoints. DocuSeal supports embedding signing forms directly into web applications using JavaScript SDKs for React, Vue, and Angular. Webhooks deliver real-time events when documents are viewed, started, or completed by signers. The platform is available as a cloud-hosted service with US and EU data residency options, or as a self-hosted on-premises deployment under an AGPL-3.0 open-source license.

DocuSeal publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Submissions API, Submitters API, and Templates API. Tagged areas include E-Signature, Document Management, PDF, Templates, and Open Source.

The DocuSeal catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

DocuSeal’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, engineering blog, changelog, pricing, and 25 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Legal and E-Signature	covered	12.1 (thin)	-	1
PDF and Document Standards (PDF tooling, document signing trust, invoice documents)	covered	12.1 (thin)	-	1
Raycast Store Extensions (first-party publishers + community-wrapped products)	covered	12.1 (thin)	-	1

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 3

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
