# Change a sent document's expiration date

> Change the expiration date of a document that has already been sent for signing. The new date can be earlier or later than the current one.

**Status Requirements:**
- Document must be in `PENDING` or `EXPIRED` status. An `EXPIRED` document returns to `PENDING`. For `DRAFT` documents, set `expiresAt` via `PATCH /api/v1/documents/{id}` instead.

**Permissions:**
- Requires the `EDIT_DOCUMENT` workspace permission.

**Request Body:**
- `expiresAt` (required) - The new expiration date/time (ISO 8601). Must be at least 24 hours in the future.

**What happens:**
1. The document's `expiresAt` is updated.
2. An audit log entry is recorded.
3. Every recipient that is still notifiable (has an email, notifications enabled, delivery method other than `NONE`, and has not rejected) is emailed that the signing deadline has moved.

    # sajn - API v1


    Welcome to the sajn API documentation. This RESTful API allows you to
    integrate digital document signing capabilities into your applications.


    ## Overview


    sajn is a Swedish digital document signing platform that enables you to:

    - Create and manage digital documents

    - Add signers and participants to documents

    - Send documents for signing via email or SMS

    - Track document status and signatures

    - Manage contacts and companies

    - Organize documents with tags and custom fields

    - Perform identity verification with sajn ID (BankID integration)


    ## Authentication


    Every endpoint (except the health check) requires a bearer token in the
    Authorization header:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

    ```


    Two kinds of token are accepted:


    - **Personal API key** (`sajn_sk_...`) — generated from your workspace
    developer settings. Acts as the issuing user; can reach any endpoint the
    user's workspace role permits.

    - **OAuth 2.0 access token** — issued via the authorization-code flow (PKCE
    for public clients) to a connected application. Bound to one workspace and
    limited to the **scopes** the user granted at consent — effective access is
    *workspace role ∩ granted scopes*.


    Each operation below lists the OAuth scope(s) it requires under its security
    section. The scopes are coarse and resource-oriented (e.g. `documents:read`,
    `documents:write`, `documents:delete`, `contacts:read`). Personal API keys
    are not scope-limited; OAuth tokens are.


    ## Rate Limiting


    Limits apply per organization and scale with the plan:


    | Plan | Per minute | Per day |

    |---|---|---|

    | Basic | 60 | 2 000 |

    | Solo | 120 | 10 000 |

    | Team | 600 | 100 000 |

    | Enterprise | 2 000 | 2 000 000 |

    | Sandbox | 60 | 2 000 |


    Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and
    `X-RateLimit-Reset` for the minute window, and `X-RateLimit-Daily-Limit`,
    `X-RateLimit-Daily-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Daily-Reset` for the daily
    quota. A `429` response includes `Retry-After` in seconds.


    ## Pagination


    List endpoints accept `page` (default 1) and `perPage` (default 10, max 100)
    and return `totalPages`. The documents, templates and contacts lists also
    return `total`.


    The documents list additionally supports cursor pagination: pass the
    `nextCursor` from a response as `cursor` on the next request. Cursors stay
    correct while documents are created and updated between requests, which page
    numbers do not, so use them when mirroring documents into your own system
    together with the `updatedAfter` filter.


    ## Idempotent requests


    Send an `Idempotency-Key` header (any unique string up to 255 characters,
    for example a UUID) on `POST`, `PATCH` or `DELETE` requests to make retries
    safe. The first request runs normally and its response is stored for 24
    hours. A retry with the same key and the same method, path and body returns
    the stored response with the header `Idempotent-Replayed: true`. Reusing a
    key with a different request returns `400`; retrying while the first request
    is still running returns `409`. Responses with a `5xx` status are not
    stored, so the retry runs again. Keys are scoped to the workspace.


    ## Webhooks


    Configure webhooks to receive real-time notifications about document events:

    - `DOCUMENT_CREATED` - When a document is created

    - `DOCUMENT_SENT` - When a document is sent for signing

    - `DOCUMENT_OPENED` - When a signer opens a document

    - `DOCUMENT_SIGNED` - When a signer signs a document

    - `DOCUMENT_COMPLETED` - When all signers have signed

    - `DOCUMENT_REJECTED` - When a signer rejects a document


    ## Error Handling


    The API uses standard HTTP status codes and returns error details in JSON
    format:


    ```json

    {
      "message": "Error description",
      "code": "NOT_FOUND",
      "errorId": "..."
    }

    ```


    `code` is a stable machine-readable identifier; `errorId` identifies the
    occurrence when you contact support.


    A `400` for an invalid request lists every problem in `issues` (`[{ "path":
    "signers.0.email", "message": "..." }]`). A `403` for a missing OAuth scope
    includes `requiredScopes` and `grantedScopes`.


    Common status codes:

    - 200: Success

    - 400: Bad Request - Invalid parameters

    - 401: Unauthorized - Invalid or missing API key

    - 404: Not Found - Resource doesn't exist

    - 409: Conflict - Resource already exists

    - 429: Too Many Requests - Rate limit exceeded

    - 500: Internal Server Error
