Endpoint

Authentication

This endpoint requires an OAuth access token. Send it as a bearer token:
Required scope: files:read
This endpoint hangs off /tasks but is gated on files:read, not tasks:read, because it returns documents. A token with only tasks:read gets a 403.

Response Fields

Document Object Fields

Error Responses

400 Bad Request

Returned when the access token has no user behind it. client_credentials tokens act as the admin who created the application, so this applies only to tokens issued before application creators were recorded.

401 Unauthorized

Returned when the access token is missing, unknown, revoked, or expired, or when an X-API-Key was sent instead of a bearer token. See OAuth error responses.

403 Forbidden

Returned when the token lacks the required scope:
Or when the user may not access this task:

404 Not Found

Returned when the task does not exist.

429 Too Many Requests

Returned when your organization exceeds its per-minute request limit.

500 Internal Server Error

Returned when the request fails due to a server error.

Notes

This endpoint returns signed documents from all signature steps within the task. The total field reflects the count of documents in the response.
Signed documents are only available for tasks with status completed.
Presigned download URLs expire after a certain time (indicated by expires_at on each document). Download the files before the URLs expire or request new URLs.
Use the step_name field to identify which signature step each document belongs to, especially when a workflow contains multiple signing steps.

Use Cases

This endpoint is useful for:
  • Post-signing retrieval - Download fully executed contracts after all parties have signed
  • Document archival - Save signed documents to long-term storage or a contract management system
  • Audit trails - Verify which documents were signed as part of a workflow
  • Integration - Sync signed contracts with ERP, CRM, or document management platforms
