# List Templates

By default, the API will return the most recent 20 templates. You can optionally use the `limit` parameter to return a different number of templates or control the pagination of the results with the `after` or `before` parameters.

<>

## Query Parameters

```
  {isRequired ? 
```

- `limit` (number) — Number of templates to retrieve.

  - Default value: `20`

  - Maximum value: `100`

  - Minimum value: `1`

: <>

Note that the `limit` parameter is _optional_. If
you do not provide a `limit`, all templates will be returned
in a single response.

- `limit` (number) — Number of templates to retrieve.

  - Maximum value: `100`

  - Minimum value: `1`

    ```
    </>}
    ```

    - `after` (string) — The ID _after_ which we'll retrieve more templates (for pagination). This ID will _not_ be included in the returned list. Cannot be used with the `before` parameter.

    - `before` (string) — The ID _before_ which we'll retrieve more templates (for pagination). This ID will _not_ be included in the returned list. Cannot be used with the `after` parameter.

      :::callout{intent="info"}
      You can only use either `after` or `before`
      parameter, not both. See our
      [pagination guide](/guides/api-reference-pagination) for more
      information.
