# List the data points a question can be built from, by template

`GET /api/questionnaires/data-points/templates`

The same catalogue as `/data-points`, grouped into one entry per profile template — the shape a question library sidebar renders. `category` is the template id that groups the entry, `name` its display label. Each data point additionally carries `id`, an alias of `retracedId`. A template whose data points are all excluded from questionnaires still appears, with an empty list. The catalogue is global rather than company-scoped, and unpaginated.
