# Project templates API **(FREE ALL)**
This API is a project-specific version of these endpoints:
- [Dockerfile templates](templates/dockerfiles.md)
- [Gitignore templates](templates/gitignores.md)
- [GitLab CI/CD Configuration templates](templates/gitlab_ci_ymls.md)
- [Open source license templates](templates/licenses.md)
- [Issue and merge request templates](../user/project/description_templates.md)
([introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/37890) in GitLab 13.3)
It deprecates these endpoints, which are scheduled for removal in API version 5.
In addition to templates common to the entire instance, project-specific
templates are also available from this API endpoint.
Support is also available for [group-level file templates](../user/group/manage.md#group-file-templates).
## Get all templates of a particular type
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/templates/:type
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| ---------- | ------ | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer or string | Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). |
| `type` | string | Yes | The type of the template. Accepted values are: `dockerfiles`, `gitignores`, `gitlab_ci_ymls`, `licenses`, `issues`, or `merge_requests`. |
Example response (licenses):
```json
[
{
"key": "epl-1.0",
"name": "Eclipse Public License 1.0"
},
{
"key": "lgpl-3.0",
"name": "GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0"

## Get one template of a particular type
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/templates/:type/:name
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| ---------- | ------ | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer or string | Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). |
| `name` | string | Yes | The key of the template, as obtained from the collection endpoint. |
| `type` | string | Yes | The type of the template. One of: `dockerfiles`, `gitignores`, `gitlab_ci_ymls`, `licenses`, `issues`, or `merge_requests`. |
| `fullname` | string | No | The full name of the copyright holder to use when expanding placeholders in the template. Affects only licenses. |
| `project` | string | No | The project name to use when expanding placeholders in the template. Affects only licenses. |
| `source_template_project_id` | integer | No | The project ID where a given template is being stored. Helpful when multiple templates from different projects have the same name. If multiple templates have the same name, the match from `closest ancestor` is returned if `source_template_project_id` is not specified, |
Example response (Dockerfile):
```json
{
"name": "Binary",
"content": "# This file is a template, and might need editing before it works on your project.\n# This Dockerfile installs a compiled binary into a bare system.\n# You must either commit your compiled binary into source control (not recommended)\n# or build the binary first as part of a CI/CD pipeline.\n\nFROM buildpack-deps:buster\n\nWORKDIR /usr/local/bin\n\n# Change `app` to whatever your binary is called\nAdd app .\nCMD [\"./app\"]\n"
