Returns a cursor-paginated version history, newest first. Each entry is shallow and names its variables and languages. Read a version item or one of its languages to retrieve text. A built-in template exposes its current catalogue content as one synthetic published version.

Parameters

template_refstring

The template's ID (smt_…) or slug.

Queryparameters

sortstring

Field to sort by.

Possible values: created_at

orderstring

Sort direction. Defaults to desc, which sorts from newest to oldest or largest to smallest, depending on the selected sort field.

Possible values: asc, desc

limitinteger

Maximum number of items to return per page.

starting_afterstring

Cursor from the next_cursor field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately after the cursor position in the current sort order.

ending_beforestring

Cursor from the prev_cursor or refresh_cursor field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately before the cursor position in the current sort order. prev_cursor returns the preceding page. refresh_cursor anchors at the first row of that response, which on a newest-first sort is how to fetch the items that have appeared since.

Response Payload

data
array of object
verplicht

One page of the template's versions, newest first.

Onderliggende attributen tonen
data.id
string
verplicht

Template version ID.

data.template_id
string
verplicht

The template this version belongs to.

data.version_number
nullable integer
verplicht

Sequential publication number. Null for the draft; a built-in template reports 1.

data.status
string
verplicht

Whether the version is the editable draft or published. Published workspace versions are immutable and remain published after a later version goes live. A built-in template's synthetic published version projects the current catalogue entry.

Possible values: draft, published

data.revision
integer
verplicht

The version's revision counter.

data.variables
array of object
verplicht

Variables inferred from the version's text and shared by each language.

Onderliggende attributen tonen
data.variables.key
string
verplicht

The key this slot is filled by. When system is true it is the reserved bird key or a dotted path beneath it, such as bird.contact.first_name, and naming it in a send is rejected. Otherwise, on email and SMS it is the key you set in the send's parameters object, and on WhatsApp the name you repeat on the matching parameter inside components, or, for a template whose placeholders are positional, the position itself as 1, 2 and so on.

data.variables.type
string
verplicht

The value type this slot accepts. Built-in SMS templates use typed slots (code, amount and the rest), each of which rejects a value that does not match its constraint. Email, WhatsApp and workspace SMS templates use text. Workspace SMS parameters must be scalar values. Open enum: treat an unrecognized value as a future type rather than an error.

Possible values (may grow over time): code, ttl, count, ref, date, date_time, amount, currency, text

data.variables.required
boolean
verplicht

Whether the send must supply this variable. Omitting a required value returns 422 on email, SMS, and WhatsApp sends. Always false when system is true, because you do not supply that slot's value.

data.variables.constraint
string
verplicht

A plain-language description of what values this variable accepts. When system is true it names where Bird takes the value from instead, because there is no value for you to send.

data.variables.sensitive
boolean

Whether this slot's value is redacted from stored message content. A placeholder replaces the sensitive value in message history; transport queues can still carry the text needed for delivery.

data.variables.system
boolean

Whether the value comes from Bird rather than from the send. Absent means false. Only email templates have system slots, identified by the reserved bird key or a dotted path beneath it; every SMS and WhatsApp slot is yours to fill. A draft can also name a reserved key no Bird value fills, including bird itself: constraint says so, and publishing that draft is rejected.

data.default_language
string
verplicht

The language this version treats as its default.

data.available_languages
array of string
verplicht

Languages this version contains, without their text.

data.created_at
nullable string
verplicht

When the version was created. Null for a built-in template's synthetic version.

data.published_at
nullable string
verplicht

When the version was published. Null for the draft and for a built-in template's synthetic version.

next_cursor
nullable string
verplicht

Cursor for the next page. Pass back as starting_after to advance forward. null when no next page exists.

prev_cursor
nullable string
verplicht

Cursor for the previous page. Pass back as ending_before to step backward. null when no previous page exists.

refresh_cursor
nullable string
verplicht

Refresh anchor, the first row of this response. Pass back as ending_before to fetch what precedes it in the current sort order. On a newest-first sort those are the items that have appeared since; on any other sort they are the items that sort earlier, so refreshing such a list means re-fetching it instead. Non-null whenever data is non-empty; null only on an empty page. Distinct from prev_cursor.
