# GitLab Project templates API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/gitlab/gitlab-project-templates-api/  
**Provider:** GitLab — https://apis.io/providers/gitlab/  
**Base URL:** https://gitlab.com/api/v4  
**Documentation:** https://docs.gitlab.com/api/rest/

GitLab Project templates API is one of 189 APIs that [GitLab](https://apis.io/providers/gitlab/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification and an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. This API exposes 16 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include Project Templates. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, authentication docs, an API reference, rate-limit docs, an AsyncAPI specification, and 16 JSON Schemas.

Use this API to retrieve project-specific templates, in addition to the templates common to the entire instance: - [Dockerfile templates](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/templates/dockerfiles/) - [Gitignore templates](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/templates/gitignores/) - [GitLab CI/CD configuration templates](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/templates/gitlab_ci_ymls/) - [Open source license templates](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/templates/licenses/) - [Issue and merge request templates](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/description_templates/) These endpoints supersede the instance template endpoints, which are scheduled for removal in API version 5. [File templates for groups](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/group/manage/#group-file-templates) are also supported.
