hellosign-python-sdk
A Python wrapper for the HelloSign API (http://www.hellosign.com/api)
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, but with strong caveats. Install only if you are already committed to HelloSign and need a Python client for an existing integration. The package is abandoned and will not receive updates, so it carries risk for new projects or long-term maintenance. If you are starting fresh, verify that HelloSign's current API remains compatible and that you can accept no future support from this library.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid HelloSign API key or credentials; the HelloSign service itself must be accessible and your account must be active.
- Installation is straightforward with low friction.
- However, the package is abandoned as of 2023-02-06 with no recent maintenance.

What it is and what it does
This is a Python SDK that wraps the HelloSign API, allowing you to programmatically manage electronic signatures and document signing workflows. It handles account management, signature request creation and retrieval, template-based signing, and embedded signing flows where the signing interface is embedded directly in your application. The package depends only on requests for HTTP communication.
The SDK is marked as Production/Stable but is no longer maintained—the repository was archived and the last release came out in 2020. If you are already using HelloSign and need a Python client, this package provides the core functionality, but you should be aware that it will not receive updates for API changes, security issues, or compatibility problems with newer Python or dependency versions.
Use it for
- Send signature requests to multiple signers with files and custom messages via the HelloSign API.
- Retrieve and manage existing signature requests and account information programmatically.
- Embed HelloSign signing workflows directly into your web application using embedded signing.
- Create and manage signature request templates and send requests using pre-defined templates.
- Build automation around document signing workflows without manually using the HelloSign web interface.
