Templates API

Save reusable job configurations as templates. Templates store persona, model, voice, script, and quality settings so you can create consistent videos without re-entering the same parameters. Max 20 templates per account.

How Templates Work

Templates store all job configuration fields except product-specific data (product_name, product_image_url). Load a template into your job creation form, provide the product details, and submit. All config fields are optional — only include the settings you want to standardize.

List Templates

Retrieve all job templates for your account, sorted by default first, then by most used and most recently updated.

GET/api/v1/templates

• Returns a bare array (not paginated).

• Sorted by: is_default DESC, use_count DESC, updated_at DESC.

• Only returns templates owned by the authenticated tenant.
