Bash Launcher Code Examples

PLEASE! Share your feedback in a two-question survey.

GitHub repo: code-examples-bash

This GitHub repo includes code examples for the Web Forms API, Maestro API, Docusign Admin API, Click API, eSignature REST API, Monitor API, and Rooms API.

Introduction

This repo is a collection of Bash scripts that support the following authentication workflows:

  • Authentication with DocuSign via Authorization Code Grant. When the token expires, the user is asked to re-authenticate. The refresh token is not used.

  • Authentication with DocuSign via JSON Web Token (JWT) Grant. When the token expires, it updates automatically.

eSignature REST API

For more information about the scopes used for obtaining authorization to use the eSignature REST API, see Required scopes.

For a list of code examples that use the eSignature REST API, see the How-to guides overview on the DocuSign Developer Center.

Admin API

Note: To use the Admin API, you must create an organization in your DocuSign developer account. Also, to run the DocuSign CLM code example, CLM must be enabled for your organization.

Installation

Prerequisites

Note: If you downloaded this code using Quickstart from the DocuSign Developer Center, skip items 1 and 2 as they were automatically performed for you.

  1. A free DocuSign developer account; create one if you don't already have one.

  2. A DocuSign app and integration key that is configured for authentication to use either Authorization Code Grant or JWT Grant.

    This video demonstrates how to obtain an integration key.

    To use Authorization Code Grant, you will need an integration key and a secret key. See Installation steps for details.

    To use JWT Grant, you will need an integration key, an RSA key pair, and the User ID GUID of the impersonated user. See Installation steps for JWT Grant authentication for details.

    For both authentication flows:

    If you use this launcher on your own workstation, the integration key must include a redirect URI of

    http://localhost:8080/authorization-code/callback

    If you host this launcher on a remote web server, set your redirect URI as

    {base_url}/authorization-code/callback

    where {base_url} is the URL for the web app.

  3. Git Bash command line, macOS Terminal, or Linux shell

  4. For Authorization Code Grant authentication PHP 8.0.0 is required. For JWT Grant authentication, PHP 8.0.0 and Python 3 are required.

Installation steps

Note: If you downloaded this code using Quickstart from the DocuSign Developer Center, skip step 3 as it was automatically performed for you.

  1. Extract the Quickstart ZIP file or download or clone the code-examples-bash repository.
  2. In your command-line environment, switch to the folder:
    cd <Quickstart folder name> or cd code-examples-bash
  3. To configure the launcher for Authorization Code Grant authentication, create a copy of the file config/settings.example.txt and save the copy as config/settings.txt.
    1. Add your integration key. On the Apps and Keys page, under Apps and Integration Keys, choose the app to use, then select Actions > Edit. Under General Info, copy the Integration Key GUID and save it in settings.txt as your INTEGRATION_KEY_AUTH_CODE.
    2. Generate a secret key, if you don’t already have one. Under Authentication, select + ADD SECRET KEY. Copy the secret key and save it in settings.txt as your SECRET_KEY.
    3. Add the launcher’s redirect URI. Under Additional settings, select + ADD URI, and set a redirect URI of http://localhost:8080/authorization-code/callback. Select SAVE.
    4. Set a name and email address for the signer. In settings.txt, save an email address as SIGNER_EMAIL and a name as SIGNER_NAME.
      Note: Protect your personal information. Please make sure that settings.txt will not be stored in your source code repository.

Troubleshooting CRLF issue on Unix systems

If you are using a Unix-like operating system (such as Mac or Linux), you may see the following error message when running some examples:

examples/eSignature/eg002SigningViaEmail.sh: line 148: syntax error: unexpected end of file

This is because code files use CRLF as the line ending type, which is incompatible with Unix-like operating systems. To fix this issue, follow the steps below:

  1. Install dos2unix.
  2. Convert the files to use LF as the line ending type by running dos2unix filename.sh.
    • Example: dos2unix eg002SigningViaEmail.sh
  3. Rerun the Bash launcher.
