# List rule templates

`GET /api/rule_templates/`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://eyalsec.com`
- URL: `https://eyalsec.com/api/rule_templates/`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - API key in cookie `__Host-es2session`

Returns every template the caller may see: their own personal templates plus the EyalSec templates (the ready-made set EyalSec ships and any an administrator published). Each carries its items in authored order. owner is "me" or "eyalsec"; the ready-made templates also carry product, the agent kind their rules are written for (e.g. "python"), and category, the key of one of the groups listed in categories ({key, name, blurb}, in display order).

This is a **read**: a read-only API key may call it.

## Response `200`

OK.

- object

## Other responses

- `401`: The API key is missing, wrong, revoked or expired.
- `429`: A rate limit was hit, or the account is locked after wrong passwords. Retry-After gives the seconds to wait.
- `default`: An error. Check the status first; the body carries a short message, as JSON ({"error": "..."}) on most endpoints and as plain text on some. 400: malformed JSON, an invalid regex, an unreadable cursor or date, or an unknown value. 401: the API key is missing, wrong, revoked or expired. 403: a failed CSRF check, a read-only key trying to write, a product or feature not enabled on your account, a wrong password, or a write on an account limited to reading. 404: not found, including things that belong to another account. 409: conflict with the current state. 422: a field is missing or invalid. 429: a rate limit was hit, or the account is locked after wrong passwords. 500: something failed on our side.
