Blueink API Documentation

This is the complete API documentation for connecting to the Blueink API using MindCloud's Universal API. If you are new to MindCloud, start with the Introduction to see how one API can sit in front of many different apps.

MindCloud is an integration company that offers one normalized API to access 3,100+ apps from a single place. It cleans up provider-specific quirks, keeps requests and responses consistent, and centralizes authentication so you do not need to manage separate flows for every app. Browse other apps.

Meet Blueink: Send, sign, and manage eSignature bundles and templates. Keep reading to get started.

Quickstart

Before you run your first Blueink request, you need three things:

A MindCloud account — sign in or create an account at MindCloud.
A MindCloud API Key — create one in API Keys. Keep it on your server.
At least one Blueink connection — create or choose one in Connections. Note its connectionId.

Every Blueink action uses the same URL pattern:

https://connect.mindcloud.co/v1/universal/blueink/latest/actions/{actionSlug}

You need a MindCloud API Key and a Blueink connection. Then call an action such as List Bundle Events:

curl --request GET \
  --url "https://connect.mindcloud.co/v1/universal/blueink/latest/actions/list-bundle-events" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $MINDCLOUD_API_KEY" \
  --get \
  --data-urlencode "connectionId=$CONNECTION_ID"

Every response comes back in the same envelope, with your rows in a data array:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    { "id": "1042", "name": "Ava" }
  ],
  "meta": {}
}

After your first request works, use Shape your requests to control arguments, pagination, filtering, fields, and errors.

Authentication

Authentication has two layers. Your MindCloud API Key authenticates the request to MindCloud, sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. The connectionId selects the connected Blueink account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the Blueink credentials behind that connection, so you never send provider tokens with your requests.

Pass connectionId in the query string for GET and DELETE actions, and in the JSON body for POST, PUT, and PATCH actions. Keep your MindCloud API Key on your server; do not ship it in browser code, mobile apps, public repositories, or logs.

Connect your Blueink API key

You need a Blueink account with API access. If the API tab is missing in the dashboard, ask Blueink Support to activate API trial features on your account.

Create or open your Blueink API account
If you do not already have a Blueink account, create an API trial account from Blueink's API Plans & Pricing page. Existing accounts can use the same login once API access is enabled.
Open the API page in Blueink
Sign in to the Blueink Dashboard, then click the API tab in the left sidebar.
Blueink Dashboard → API
Create a private API key
On the API page, click Add API Key, enter a label, and submit the form.
Save the API key in the connection
Copy the API key immediately and paste it into this Blueink connection. Blueink only shows the full key once.

Blueink actions

All 24 published actions for this Blueink version. Each page documents the endpoint, arguments, and response controls.
