Get a template.

`GET /v1/templates/{id}`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Get a template. |
| What does it need? | An API key or an OAuth access token. |
| What does it take? | `id` in the path. |
| What does it return? | Status 200 with a body of type [`Template`](https://docs.flung.dev/reference/api/schemas.md#template). |
| In the SDK? | `flung.templates.get()` |
| What can go wrong? | `401` Missing, unknown, revoked or expired API key; `404` No such template in this workspace; `422` The request failed validation; `429` Too many requests for this credential; wait for `retry-after` seconds. Every failure has the same [error shape](https://docs.flung.dev/reference/api/errors.md). |

## Example

**curl**

```bash
curl -X GET 'https://api.flung.dev/v1/templates/tpl_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FLUNG_API_KEY"
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { Flung } from '@flung.dev/sdk'

const flung = new Flung({ apiKey: process.env.FLUNG_API_KEY! })
const result = await flung.templates.get({
  id: 'tpl_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa',
})
```

**fetch**

```js
const response = await fetch('https://api.flung.dev/v1/templates/tpl_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.FLUNG_API_KEY}`,
  },
})
if (!response.ok) throw new Error((await response.json()).error.message)
const result = await response.json()
```

A successful answer looks like this:

```json
{
  "id": "tpl_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  "name": "string",
  "content": "string",
  "mediaIds": [
    "string"
  ],
  "accountIds": [
    "string"
  ],
  "platformOverrides": {},
  "createdAt": "2026-11-01T09:00:00.000Z",
  "updatedAt": "2026-11-01T09:00:00.000Z"
}
```
