Code Examples
Launchers
DocuSign provides a sample application code referred to as a Launcher. The Launcher contains a set of 31 common use cases and associated source files. These examples use either DocuSign's Authorization Code Grant or JSON Web Tokens (JWT) flows.
Proof-of-concept applications
If your goal is to create a proof-of-concept application, DocuSign provides a set of Quick Start examples. The Quick Startexamples are meant to be used with DocuSign's OAuth Token Generator, which will allow you to generate tokens for the Demo/Sandbox environment only. These tokens last for eight hours and will enable you to build your proof-of-concept application without the need to fully implement an OAuth solution.
OAuth Implementations
For details regarding which type of OAuth grant will work best for your DocuSign integration, see the REST API Authentication Overview guide located on the DocuSign Developer Center.
For security purposes, DocuSign recommends using the Authorization Code Grant flow.
