If the candidate has already acknowledged it, the response will indicate this as well as provide the `caseDataId` of the acknowledgement, which can be used to retrieve details. These can be used to determine whether the candidate can skip this step if they leave and then continue their onboarding later or on another device, for example. The e-Signature document can be customized. If a customer-specific version doesn't exist, a default one will be returned. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /background-check-api/api-reference/openapi.json get /case/id/{caseId}/esig/{language} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: KarmaCheck API description: >- All requests to the KarmaCheck API require a JSON Web Token (JWT) in the Authorization header.
