“We were tired of DocuSign’s inconsistencies, the escalating costs, an account rep that changed every ninety days, and the lackluster customer service. The moment we switched to BlueInk, we experienced immediate benefits – a 45% cost savings, a dedicated support dream-team responding in minutes, and a more efficient business with 58% productivity improvement, 70% faster document turnaround, all in just 3 days."
Bryan Jenkins Principal Broker, AHI Properties
"BlueInk’s reasonable cost and multiple document-sharing options is the fastest and simplest way to get parent signatures, and the cost is unbeatable. Our favorite feature is the text message option, allowing us to effortlessly obtain consent for various forms. We were impressed not just by the functionality but also by the affordability. It's a fraction of the cost compared to other solutions. With BlueInk, we save time, money, and paper.”
Shauni Vaughn Director of Student Services
"Serving workers' comp statewide, signatures were a pain. We tried DocuSign and HelloSign, but they weren't efficient. BlueInk's SMS feature changed it all. Patients sign instantly, mistakes are rare. Our document processing time went from a frustrating 10 days down to less than an hour. Plus, it's a budget-friendly choice, and that's been a real game-changer for our pharmacy!”
Tan Pham, Pharmacist, Tytus Group, Brightside Specialty Pharmacy

FAQs

What is an eSignature API?

Blueink helps developers launch faster with robust SDKs, flexible REST endpoints, 99.99 % uptime, enterprise-grade compliance, and cost-effective pricing (typically 50 % more affordable than competitors.)

How does embedded signing API work?

Blueink’s embedded signing API lets users sign documents directly within your app or website, with no external redirects. This ensures a seamless, white-label signing experience that increases completion rates and user engagement.

What programming languages does the Blueink electronic signature API support?

Blueink offers SDKs for Python, JavaScript, and PHP, with more languages coming soon. Each SDK includes code samples, documentation, and sandbox environments for quick implementation.

Is the Blueink eSignature API secure?

Yes. Blueink meets the highest global security standards including SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, eIDAS, GDPR, and ESIGN. All data is protected using AES-256 encryption both at rest and in transit.

How can I test the Blueink API before going live?

Developers can use Blueink’s free sandbox environment to explore all API features. You can create and test embedded signing flows, webhooks, and document templates safely before production deployment.

Is Blueink compliant with electronic signature laws?

Yes. Blueink complies with eIDAS (EU), ESIGN Act (US), and UETA (US), ensuring every signature is legally valid and enforceable across multiple jurisdictions.

How much does the Blueink eSignature API cost?

You can create a free sandbox account or request a demo. Follow the installation guide, review the SDK documentation, and begin sending your first eSignature API requests in minutes.

Can I Send non-API Envelopes when I sign up for an API Plan?

API plans include a limited number of “regular” Envelopes, allowing you to send Envelopes from the Blueink Dashboard and via the API. However, if you need to regularly send Envelopes from the Dashboard and via our API, an Enterprise plan is probably the best fit for your organization. Please contact our sales team to discuss options.

Can the Blueink API replace the Docusign API?

Yes, for many standard eSignature workflows. Blueink supports document sending, embedded signing, templates, webhooks, tracking, and API automation. If your Docusign implementation relies on broader agreement-management features, you should review those requirements before migrating.
