API: Rest Get Template by ID

The Get Templates commands allow you to return the content of a template specified by ID or name. This command returns the template id, name, subject line, Plain Text body, and HTML body of each template.

GET /templates

https://[siteurl]/rest/templates/[ID]

Request Body Parameters

The Get List command requires only the URI call. No additional fields are required in the JSON.

curl --request GET \
--url 'https://mail.mydomain.com/rest/templates/321' \

--header 'accept: application/vnd.whatcounts-v1+json' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
