API Guide

General

Authentication

Authentication to the API is performed via HTTP Basic Auth. Your username is your account ID and the password is your API key. You can view both and manage your API key in the Settings area inside the DocJuris application.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Call made over plain HTTP will fail. Calls made without or with an invalid/expired key will also fail.

Example via cURL:

curl https://api.docjuris.com/v1/contracts \
  -u <username>:<password>

Uploading Documents

When uploading password protected documents, you can pass it to us as a base64 encoded value via the documentPassword header.

For example, to upload a document protected with the password "hello":

curl https://api.docjuris.com/v1/contracts \
  -u <account_id>:<api_key> \
  -H "documentPassword: aGVsbG8="

Response

Calls to the API will return with a HTTP response code that help indicate success or failure of the request.

Every response will have a standard shape:

{
  "meta": {...},
  "response": {...},
}

Meta

code

This will match the HTTP response code.

errors

An array of Error objects

Error

type

Short string indicating the error type.

message

A more lengthly explanation of the error.

data

Extra data describing the error.

Example Responses

Most responses will have a section with urls to retrieve the record in the api, or to redirect to the relevant page in DocJuris.

"urls": {
	"app": "https://app.docjuris.com/contracts/12/turns/DED5A313-CC4D-4218-8B0B-2F175C8539D4",
	"api": "https://api.docjuris.com/v1/contracts/B41A4A25-E692-4B4C-9002-6560DE291315/turns/DED5A313-CC4D-4218-8B0B-2F175C8539D4",
  "document": "https://api.docjuris.com/v1/contracts/B41A4A25-E692-4B4C-9002-6560DE291315/turns/DED5A313-CC4D-4218-8B0B-2F175C8539D4/document" 
} 

Common Data

extendedData

Contracts and turns can be created with extendedData. This data will be attached to the contract record, and can be retrieved with later queries. It can be used to store reference data relevant to the caller, or to pass reference urls to DocJuris.

The data is structured as name value pairs:

"extendedData": {
	"namedValues": [
    {
			"name": "v1",
			"value": "data1",
	    "type": "text"
    },
		{
			"name": "Contract link",
			"value": "https://my.app.com?someId=abc",
			"type": "url"
		}
	]
}

Values with type "url" will be displayed in the DocJuris UI under a list of links for the contract. This can be used to link back to the calling application.

Values with type "text" are not displayed in the DocJuris UI. If no type is given, the default value is "text".

All values will be returned with the contract or turn details.

Resources

Create a Contract

  -F file="@/path/to/your/contract.docx"

Arguments (besides file) can be supplied as form name/value pairs, or they can be combined into a single json string named input.

curl https://api.docjuris.com/v1/contracts \
  -u <account_id>:<api_key> \
  -F input='{"contractType":"nda", "counterParty":"company_a", "extendedData": {"namedValues": [{"name": "v1", "value": "data1"}]}}'
  -F file="@/path/to/your/contract.docx"

An alternate option is to supply counterPartyId, which is the DocJuris contract Id.

description optional

An arbitrary string that provides a short summary of the transaction within the contract.

currentTurnId

A string ID of the latest known turn. The API will return an error if this does not match that latest turn's ID (i.e. if another turn was uploaded by another user).

description optional

An arbitrary string that provides a short summary of the turn.

file

DOCX files are preferred as PDF and DOC will be run through our convertor, and may lead to unexpected results.

A string that describes who this turn is from (i.e. internal dept., outside counsel, etc.).

If this turn is from the counter party, leave this blank.

extendedData optional

This data will be attached to the turn record, and can be retrieved with later queries. If no value is supplied, the extended data from the contract will be copied to the turn.

For details, see Common Data.

tags optional

Within DocJuris, the user can add tags to a turn. These tags provide additional client-specific information about the turn.

  -F extendedData='{"namedValues": [{"name": "v1", "value": "data1"}]}' \
  -F file="@/path/to/your/import.docx"

Arguments (besides file) can be supplied as form name/value pairs, or they can be combined into a single json string named input.

Callback Notifications

Each DocJuris tenant can be configured with a callback URL. DocJuris will call this url when certain events occur, as a notification. Each notification is a simple POST to the configured url with a JSON body.

Turn Complete Notification

This notification will be sent when the DocJuris user completes a turn.

{
	"type": "TurnCompleted",
	"id" : "43e36b4d-5711-49ff-a6d1-c252452fcf0f",
