    PrintDraft API Specification

ESG NextGen offers Application Programming Interface (API) assistance with tasks including initial and subsequent submissions, status inquiries, and other service functions as part of the File Submission process. ​All of the ESG NextGen APIs are built using the RESTful standard for ease of integration. ESG NextGen's API platform provides security enforcement to ensure data exchange is secure.
ESG NextGen uses ClientIDs and Secret passwords for API authentication and OAuth 2.0 for API authorization. When requested, an access token is generated and validated. Upon validation, the client's application can access the relative APIs and submit files.
