Update a template

This endpoint updates an existing template in your project. You can change its name, its tags, its RenderScript source, or any combination of these.

It performs a partial update: only the fields you include in the request are changed, and any fields you leave out keep their current values. You must provide at least one of name, tags, or source.

Parameters

API endpoint

Send a PATCH request to the following endpoint using your project's API key. The template ID is passed as a parameter. This example renames a template and replaces its tags, leaving the source unchanged:

curl -X PATCH https://api.creatomate.com/v2/templates/TEMPLATE_ID \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
     -d '{
       "name": "Renamed Template",
       "tags": ["Archived"]
     }'

Response

On success, the endpoint responds with 200 OK and returns the updated template, with its updated_at timestamp refreshed.
