To integrate with the UBO product, as a client you can optionally receive backend notifications so interaction with the UBO is in your control, alternatively iSignthis can send emails on your behalf.

Environment

We recommend that all our clients test on our production environment.

Production API URL: https://gateway.isignthis.com/v1/

iSignthis also maintains a sandbox testing environment, which usually runs the latest release candidate of our system.

Integrating with the testing environment is not recommended, as it could prove to be unstable or unreachable at times.

However, if you feel comfortable integrating with a cutting-edge, but possibly unstable version of the system, the iSignthis technical support team will provide a staging account for you.

The iSignthis technical support team can further detail the pros and cons of working with either environment based on your needs.

Authentication

For API operations, you will need an API secret key which will be sent from technical support.

Field Name Field Value
From <api client name>
Authorization Bearer <API secret key>
