# Get a template

`GET /api/businesses/{business_id}/templates/{template_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.mymarky.ai`
- URL: `https://api.mymarky.ai/api/businesses/{business_id}/templates/{template_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Fetch one template by id, with every field/slot you must fill.

Deterministic (unlike `search_templates`, which picks one for you): pass a
`template_id` from `list_templates` and get its per-page text fields (with
guidance, character limits, and an example) and image slots. Feed the result
straight into `create_design`.

Errors:
    400 invalid_value: The business_id is not a valid UUID.
    401 authentication_required: API key or token is missing, invalid, or revoked.
    403 permission_denied: Your plan does not include API access, this business is not in your org, or the template is private to another business.
    404 resource_not_found: No business or template with that ID exists.
    429 rate_limit_exceeded: You sent too many requests this minute.

## Path parameters

- `business_id` string, required: A UUID identifier.
- `template_id` string, required

## Headers

- `Marky-Version` '2026-04-08' | '2026-07-17' | '2026-08-02' | '2026-08-04' | '2026-08-06'

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- TemplateDetail: A template plus every field/slot you must fill to create a design from it.
  - `template_id` string, required: Template id — pass to create_design.
  - `description` string, nullable: What the template is for.
  - `page_count` integer, required: Number of pages.
  - `template_url` string, required: Open the template in the editor to view or tweak it — a link you can hand the user.
  - `pages` TemplatePageDetail[]: Per-page fields and slots.
    - `page_number` integer, required: 1-based page index.
    - `image_slots` TemplateImageSlot[]: Image slots on this page.
      - `id` string, required: Slot id — use as the key in create_design.filler_media.
      - `kind` string, nullable: Slot role: FILLER (you must provide a photo), LOGO/AVATAR/WATERMARK (brand, optional).
      - `required` boolean, required: True for FILLER slots — you must supply an image.
      - `width` integer, required: Slot width in px.
      - `height` integer, required: Slot height in px.
    - `text_fields` TemplateTextField[]: Text fields on this page.
      - `id` string, required: Field id — use as the key in create_design.text_content.
      - `kind` string, nullable: Field role (e.g. HEADER, BODY).
      - `instructions` string, nullable: Guidance for what to write here — always populated (a sensible default when the template didn't set one).
      - `max_characters` integer, nullable: Character limit for this field, if any. create_design rejects copy longer than this with a 422.
      - `example` string, nullable: A short example of good copy for this field, to show the shape/length expected.
