Slate is the infrastructure layer that connects creditors and law firms across every stage of the legal recovery lifecycle. By integrating with Slate, you gain a single API surface for placing accounts, managing documents, capturing e-signatures, enforcing redaction rules, and running quality control — without building or maintaining those workflows yourself. Slate keeps your inventory synchronized with your servicing partners, ensures every document meets compliance requirements, and provides a full audit trail of every action taken on every account.

​
What You Can Do with Slate

Slate organizes its capabilities into five API domains. Each domain handles a distinct part of the legal recovery workflow, and they compose together to power end-to-end case management.

Accounts API

Upsert and manage accounts, along with their creditors, firms, and entities. Keep your inventory in sync and maintain account lifecycle state from placement through closure.

Files & Requests API

Upload files, organize evidence and claims requests with exhibits, apply redactions, and run bulk downloads.

Signatures API

Create e-signature and e-notary requests. Get signing URLs, track status, and receive completed documents.

Quality Control API

Define checklists, run structured review processes, and approve or reject requests with role-based reviewer assignments.

Users API

Manage the people and service credentials that interact with Slate, including notaries, affiants, and integration service accounts.
The Accounts API is currently marked DRAFT in its specification — its shapes, field names, and endpoints may change before it is finalized.

​
Base URLs

Slate serves each API under its own service prefix on the api.slate.inc host. Combine the host, the service prefix, and the endpoint’s version-prefixed path: For example, the Accounts list endpoint is https://api.slate.inc/accounts/v1/accounts. Endpoints are versioned under /v1 or /v2 path prefixes that follow the service prefix; where a v2 endpoint exists, prefer it for new integrations. For the UAT (staging) environment, swap the host to api.uat.slate.inc (for example, https://api.uat.slate.inc/accounts).

​
Authentication

Every request must include a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Tokens are scoped to an owner (your organization), so all data you read or write is automatically isolated to your owner context. See Authentication for details on obtaining a token and handling credential errors.

​
Security and Compliance

Slate is SOC 2 certified and built on bank-grade security infrastructure. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Every action taken through the API — account updates, document uploads, signature events, QC decisions — is recorded in immutable audit logs. You can retrieve audit history for any resource at any time, giving you a complete chain of custody for every account you service.
