Quickstart

Sign and anchor a contract in 8 lines:

// JavaScript — npm install @docfila/sdk
import { Docfila } from '@docfila/sdk';
const df = new Docfila({ apiKey: process.env.DOCFILA_API_KEY });

const doc = await df.documents.upload({ file: './contract.pdf' });
const sig = await df.signatures.request({
  documentId: doc.id,
  signers: [{ email: 'client@example.com', role: 'signer' }],
  anchor: true  // auto-anchor on Verify when complete
});
console.log(sig.signUrl, sig.verifyUrl);
