Returns `404` if the template does not exist for that language or belongs to a different project. ## OpenAPI ````json GET /v3/projects/{project_id}/article-templates/{template_id} { "openapi": "3.0.1", "info": { "title": "Document360 Customer API", "description": "Document360 RESTful APIs let you integrate your documentation with your software — onboard readers, manage articles, automate publishing, and more.\n\nFull reference: [API Documentation](https://apidocs.document360.io/docs).\n\n## Authentication\nV3 authenticates with an **API key** — not the `api_token` used by V1/V2. Create one in the Document360 portal under **Settings → Knowledge base portal → API keys**, then click **Create API key**. (Projects that still have the older screen show two tabs; choose **Enhanced keys (v3)**, or pick **API v3** from the Create menu.)\n\nSend it in the `X-API-Key` header:\n\n```\nX-API-Key: d360_sk_...\n```\n\nThe plaintext key is shown **once**, at creation — only its hash is stored, so a lost key must be replaced rather than recovered. Each key carries a fixed portal role, content role and content-access scope, supports an optional expiry, and can be disabled or deleted at any time from the same screen. Treat it as an opaque string: it is a pre-shared secret, not an OAuth 2.0 access token, and must not be parsed.\n\nFor flows that act on behalf of a specific person, V3 also accepts an OAuth 2.0 bearer token carrying the `customerApi` scope.\n\nAPI access is part of your subscription plan. If your plan does not include it, every endpoint returns `403` with the error code `FEATURE_NOT_IN_LICENSE` — including for keys created while an earlier plan was active. Contact your Customer Success Manager or `support@document360.com` to enable it.\n\n> **Note on terminology:** V1/V2 call these *API tokens* and manage them under **Settings → Knowledge base portal → API tokens**. V3 keys are a separate credential with their own screen, roles and scope — a V1/V2 token will not authenticate a V3 request.\n\n## Rate Limits\nAll endpoints are rate-limited per API key per project, with separate limits for reads (`GET`/`HEAD`) and writes (`POST`/`PUT`/`PATCH`/`DELETE`). Default limits vary by plan. When rate-limited, responses include `Retry-After`, `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and `X-RateLimit-Reset` headers.
