Introduction

When creating a project utilizing the Projects API, one of the attributes within the schema is templateId. This attribute can be employed to specify the template that the new project will utilize. In the absence of this information, the most recent Blank Web App template will be used by default.

Schema:

{
  "name": "string",
  "summary": "string",
  "image": "string",
  "templateId": "string"
}

This article shows how to find the attribute templateId to use in the Project API call.
