List project templates

GET/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/project-templates/

Return the workspace's project templates as a paginated list. Use it to build a template picker, or to find the id you pass to Create a project from a template.

Rows leave out description_html and template_data unless you ask for them with ?fields=. template_data holds the whole project seed and every bundled work item, so request it only when you need it.

Path Parameters

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs, so in https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/ the slug is my-team.

Query Parameters

Filters combine with AND.

category_id:optionalstring (uuid)

Return templates tagged with this template category.

Use the category_id__in variant to match any of several categories. Pass the ids comma-separated: ?category_id__in=<id>,<id>. A template tagged with more than one of them still comes back once.

is_published:optionalboolean

Return only published (true) or only unpublished (false) templates.

is_verified:optionalboolean

Return only templates that Plane has verified (true), or only the rest (false).

name:optionalstring

Return templates whose name matches exactly, ignoring case.

short_id:optionalstring

Return the template with this short_id.

search:optionalstring

A search term matched against name and short_description.

Ordering

order_by:optionalstring

Field to sort by. Prefix with - for descending. Defaults to -created_at, newest first.

• created_at, -created_at
• id, -id

Both orderings work with cursor pagination.

Pagination

per_page:optionalinteger

Page size. Defaults to 50, maximum 200.

offset:optionalinteger

Number of rows to skip from the start of the result set. Maximum 10000. Read the next value from the response rather than computing offsets yourself.

paginate:optionalstring

Set to cursor to opt into the COUNT-free keyset envelope, which returns next_cursor and has_more instead of next and total_count. Omit it for the default offset envelope.

count:optionalboolean

Defaults to true. Set to false to skip the COUNT(*) behind total_count. The field is then omitted from the response.

Response shaping

fields:optionalstring

Comma-separated list of fields to return on each row. Unrequested keys are omitted from the response, not returned as null, so absent means "not requested" and null means "actually null". id always comes back whether or not you name it.

Pass all for every requestable field. An unknown name is a 400 that lists the valid set and suggests the closest match, so a typo can't silently cost you the saving.

description_html and template_data are deferred on list rows. Name them, or pass all, to include them.

Requestable here: category_ids, created_at, created_by_id, description_html, id, is_published, is_verified, name, short_description, short_id, slug, template_data, template_type, updated_at, updated_by_id.

See Sparse fields.
