Using the Docusign eSignature API, I’m able to send envelopes w/o any issues. I am not setting the expiration date when sending the envelope, but do have a setting on my account with a value of 3 days. My question is, is there a way to get the value of the expiration date (or days that the expiration date is configured for) when the envelope is created, without an additional request being sent via the API to retrieve the envelope details or to get the value from my account?

I’m trying to avoid bumping up against any rate limits.

This doesn’t appear to be possible, and requires another call. My workaround is making another call and caching the value with a cache expiration of 1 hr, so hopefully that will lower the risk of going over the rate limit. The cache could contain stale data, but that’s just a tradeoff that will have to be made.
