If you are using the legacy Adobe Sign SOAP APIs, we highly recommend migrating your apps to consume the v6 REST APIs. The list below shows the SOAP endpoints with their REST equivalents. Both endpoints link directly to the full method description.

| getDocumentInfo | /agreements/{agrId}, GET |
In SOAP API, getDocumentInfo, getDocuments, getAuditTrail etc. work on documentKeys, which can be an ID for an agreement, widget, or library document. The REST API demarcates these as separate resources (cleaner design and strongly typed) and hence, based on the kind of resource you are working on, there is a corresponding /libraryDocuments, /widgets to these. Example: /widgets/{widgetId}, GET will getDocumentInfo for widgetId, and similarly for documents, audit trail, etc.
