Preferred Agents

Introduction

The Sign API uses cloud microservices called "agents" to generate tokens & return the responses to you. In order to provide enterprise customers high availability, we have tons of agents running in different regions around the world.

All paid plans have the ability to select a preferred agent. When you specify a preferred agent, the sign API will first try your chosen agent before picking a random public agent if it is not available. The reason this is locked behind a paywall is simply that bypassing the round-robin increases the load on the specified agent, which can lead to performance issues.

How to Select a Preferred Agent

Selecting a preferred agent is as simple as including the preferred_agent_ids parameter when making a request to the Sign APIclear.

The following two routes allow you to specify a preferred agent:
