The "API mode"* also provides more complex interaction options with the signotec signature pads.

Standard mode provides an easy-to-use interface with limited functionality and predefined dialogs. As a rule, integration at protocol level should only take place if a JavaScript library cannot be used for technical reasons. The signotec signoPAD-API/Web comes with a JavaScript library that encapsulate the protocol and asynchrony of WebSocket communication, which is why it should preferably be used. The signotec signoPAD-API/Web can be integrated into an existing web application.

For exact version numbers, see the signoPAD-API/Web documentation. ** WebSocket-enabled browsers are supported, such as: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. * Advanced API mode is currently only available on Windows. No Browser Plug-In needed (No NPAPI/ActiveX)."API mode" for more complex pad functions*.Simple JavaScript and Protocol-Level interface.Web-based integration of signature pads.The signotec signoPAD-API/Webis a solution which realizes a web-based integration of signotec signature pads.

The signoPAD-API/Web specification - developed as part of the HTML5 initiative - introduced the WebSocket JavaScript interface, which defines a full-duplex single socket connection over which messages can be sent between client and server. The product signoPAD-API/Web was formerly known as Websocket Pad Server. The signotec signoPAD-API/Web acts as a bridge between the web application (browser) and the local signature pad (USB / vCOM / Virtual Channel). This allows content to be displayed on the pad and a signature (image and biometrics) to be transmitted to the web application. A web application running in a browser can then communicate with the signoPAD-API/Web. The server runs on the PC or in the Citrix terminal session to which the signature device is connected. Operation via ActiveX is possible as an option. Alternatively, if technically required, it can also be communicated at the protocol level. It is a solution for communicating from a web application to signotec signature pads without the need for a browser plug-in.įor integration, a JavaScript library is available.
