Documenso Install & Auth

Overview

Set up the Documenso SDK and configure API authentication for document signing. Covers the TypeScript SDK (@documenso/sdk-typescript), the Python SDK (documenso-sdk-python), and raw REST API usage. Documenso exposes two API versions: v1 (legacy, documents only) and v2 (envelopes, multi-document, recommended for new work).

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
• Package manager (npm, pnpm, yarn, pip, or uv)
• Documenso account — cloud at app.documenso.com or self-hosted instance
• API key generated from the Documenso dashboard
