Transcript
Welcome to our Quick Start for Adobe Document Services and Adobe Acrobat Sign APIs. The videos in this series will empower you to build and embed an end-to-end document generation and signature process within your platform. Welcome back to the Adobe Acrobat Sign Quick Start. Here we are back on the Allow Access page for Acrobat Signs OAuth. We are going to click Allow Access and copy the code for later use. Now we take that code to Postman so we can make an API call to get our access token. For this call, we will always use the request URL as oauthv2token. In the body we will supply the code we just copied into a field named code. We use client ID from the application we made, so let’s go get that now. Go back to the web UI and double click the application in the Account tab. Copy application ID and navigate back to Postman so that we can paste that into the Client ID field. Now we need a client secret, which is on the same page as the application ID we were just on. Underneath the value header, we can see our client secret here. Copy that value and take it back into Postman so we can paste it into the Client Secret field. Grant Type will be Authorization Code and Redirect URI will be the same redirect URI you have been using in the previous steps. Once you have all of your information entered, we can now click Send. You should then receive your access token and a refresh token. With these tokens we can now begin interacting with the API and sending e-signature transactions. Thanks for checking out our Adobe Acrobat Sign Quick Start Guide for embedding our signature service within your platform. Questions?
