payload={}

headers = {

 'Authorization': 'oauth_signature_method="PLAINTEXT", oauth_consumer_key="YOUR_TOKEN", oauth_token="YOUR_TOKEN", oauth_signature="YOUR_TOKEN&YOUR_TOKEN"',

 'Cookie': 'lang="en"; lang-ssn="en"'

}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

C#

var client = new RestClient("https://api-testbed.scrive.com/api/v2/documents/8222115557376890778/start");

client.Timeout = -1;

var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);

request.AddHeader("Authorization", "oauth_signature_method=\"PLAINTEXT\", oauth_consumer_key=\"YOUR_TOKEN\", oauth_token=\"YOUR_TOKEN\", oauth_signature=\"YOUR_TOKEN&YOUR_TOKEN\"");

request.AddHeader("Cookie", "lang=\"en\"; lang-ssn=\"en\"");

IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

Console.WriteLine(response.Content);

JavaScript

var myHeaders = new Headers();

myHeaders.append("Authorization", "oauth_signature_method=\"PLAINTEXT\", oauth_consumer_key=\"YOUR_TOKEN\", oauth_token=\"YOUR_TOKEN\", oauth_signature=\"YOUR_TOKEN&YOUR_TOKEN\"");

myHeaders.append("Cookie", "lang=\"en\"; lang-ssn=\"en\"");

var requestOptions = {

 method: 'POST',

 headers: myHeaders,

 redirect: 'follow'

};

fetch("https://api-testbed.scrive.com/api/v2/documents/8222115557376890778/start", requestOptions)

 .then(response => response.text())

 .then(result => console.log(result))

 .catch(error => console.log('error', error));
