API Usages

With DottedSign API, developers can initiate a mission using the Create a File Mission API and upload files via the provided upload-links in the response. The returned file_mission_id is then used to create a Task.

Developers should monitor the mission's status using the Get a File Mission API. If the file status is suspended, it indicates an invalid format or that the file exceeds the size limit. In this case, the user must re-upload the file.

🚧

Warning

If a mission is not assigned to a Task within three days of its creation, it will be automatically deleted by the system.
