Python SDK

IntroCopy Anchor Link

The Dropbox Sign API SDK provides access to the Dropbox Sign API REST APIs.

Dropbox Sign v3 API

InstallationCopy Anchor Link

Add the SDK to your project from its folder, with whichever package manager your project uses. Give each tool a path containing a slash, such as ../dropbox-sign-api — a bare folder name is looked up on PyPI instead, and resolves to whatever project holds that name there:

pip install <path-to-sdk>

uv add <path-to-sdk>

poetry add <path-to-sdk>

Quick StartCopy Anchor Link

Synchronous clientCopy Anchor Link

Construct DropboxSignApiClient with keyword arguments, and call close() when you are done. Every argument is optional.

from dropbox_sign_api import DropboxSignApiClient
from dropbox_sign_api.core import BasicAuthCredentials

client = DropboxSignApiClient(
    api_key=BasicAuthCredentials(username="YOUR_USERNAME", password="YOUR_PASSWORD"),
    oauth2="YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN",
    environment="production",
)

client.close()

Alternatively, scope it — with DropboxSignApiClient(...) as client: closes the pool on exit.

Asynchronous clientCopy Anchor Link

AsyncDropboxSignApiClient mirrors DropboxSignApiClient with identical method names, and every endpoint method is a coroutine. It takes the same arguments, with some differences — for example, the transport argument is custom_async_http_client.

from asyncio import run

from dropbox_sign_api import AsyncDropboxSignApiClient
from dropbox_sign_api.core import BasicAuthCredentials


async def main() -> None:
    client = AsyncDropboxSignApiClient(
        api_key=BasicAuthCredentials(username="YOUR_USERNAME", password="YOUR_PASSWORD"),
        oauth2="YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN",
        environment="production",
    )
    await client.aclose()


run(main())

Alternatively, scope it — async with AsyncDropboxSignApiClient(...) as client: closes the pool on exit.
