/dataset/quota/{dataset_uuid}

Retrieves the full template (datatype) definition for a given UUID. The UUID can be either a **template UUID** or a **dataset UUID** — the API accepts both interchangeably. Returns the template's name, description, field definitions (including field types, render plugins, and radio options where applicable), render plugins, and database metadata. ## Authentication A pre-request script automatically fetches a bearer token before each request: 1. POSTs to `{{url}}/token` with `{{apiuser}}` and `{{apipass}}` credentials 2. Stores the returned token in `{{token}}` 3. The token is then used as the `Authorization` header for the request ## Path Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `template_uuid` | string | Yes | The UUID of the template (datatype) **or** the UUID of a dataset that uses that template. Both forms are accepted. | ## Example Requests ``` GET {{url}}/template/ddc5e9ba834ad596cc31aebb1225 ``` Using a dataset UUID in place of the template UUID: ``` GET {{url}}/template/<dataset_uuid> ``` ## Example Response (200 OK) ``` json { "internal_id": 738, "name": "RRUFF Samples", "description": null, "template_uuid": "ddc5e9ba834ad596cc31aebb1225", "updated_at": "2026-01-08 18:47:44", "metadata_for_uuid": "", "render_plugins": [ { "render_plugin": "RRUFF Special Reference Plugin" }, { "render_plugin": "RRUFF Sample Plugin" }, { "render_plugin": "Linked Descendant Merger Plugin" }, { "render_plugin": "File Updater Helper Plugin" }, { "render_plugin": "RRUFF Sample Links Plugin" } ], "_database_metadata": { "_create_date": "2024-02-13 21:31:54", "_create_auth": "Alex Pires", "_public_date": "2024-02-13 21:32:00", "_master_published_version": "0", "_master_revision": "0", "_tracking_master_version": "0" }, "fields": [ { "internal_id": 7077, "name": "Sample Images", "description": null, "fieldtype": "Image", "field_uuid": "35a91c0ddd6a5ccf7681be7e9e4d", "template_field_uuid": "b571f4738325b415195f432f9625", "updated_at": "2025-01-14 18:59:25", "render_plugins": [{ "render_plugin": "File Renamer Addon" }], "_field_metadata": { "...": "..." } }, { "internal_id": 7069, "name": "RRUFF ID", "description": "Sample IDs must be unique within your collection.", "fieldtype": "Short Text", "field_uuid": "ee88404d73886150b59dd07cbb12", "template_field_uuid": "d0e7a8e1e42d8159008116130e86", "is_unique": 1, "updated_at": "2026-02-10 22:03:48", "_field_metadata": { "...": "..." } }, { "internal_id": 7070, "name": "Sample Status", "description": null, "fieldtype": "Single Select", "field_uuid": "e4bd3c7024d12f5c80da99fffd63", "radio_options": [ { "name": "The identification of this mineral has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction", "template_radio_option_uuid": "92456147cc47c8de892767367ff1" }, { "name": "Unconfirmed", "template_radio_option_uuid": "2100da4a951510a9a455764d8404" } ], "_field_metadata": { "...": "..." } } ] } ``` ## Response Fields ### Top-level | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `internal_id` | integer | Internal numeric ID of the template | | `name` | string | Human-readable name of the template | | `description` | string | null | Optional description of the template | | `template_uuid` | string | Canonical UUID of the template | | `updated_at` | string | Timestamp of the last update (UTC) | | `metadata_for_uuid` | string | UUID of a linked metadata record, if any | | `render_plugins` | array | List of render plugins applied to this template | | `_database_metadata` | object | Audit metadata (creation date/author, publish date, revision info) | | `fields` | array | List of field definitions belonging to this template | ### Field Object (`fields[]`) | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `internal_id` | integer | Internal numeric ID of the field | | `name` | string | Human-readable field name | | `description` | string | null | Optional field description | | `fieldtype` | string | Data type of the field (e.g. `Short Text`, `Paragraph Text`, `Long Text`, `Integer`, `Boolean`, `Image`, `Single Select`) | | `field_uuid` | string | UUID of this specific field instance | | `template_field_uuid` | string | null | UUID of the parent template field this was derived from, if any | | `updated_at` | string | Timestamp of the last update (UTC) | | `is_unique` | integer | `1` if values must be unique across records; omitted otherwise | | `render_plugins` | array | Render plugins applied to this field (omitted if none) | | `radio_options` | array | Available options for `Single Select` fields (omitted for other field types) | | `_field_metadata` | object | Audit metadata for the field | ### Radio Option Object (`fields[].radio_options[]`) | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `name` | string | Display label for the option | | `template_radio_option_uuid` | string | UUID of the radio option | | `updated_at` | string | Timestamp of the last update (UTC) | ## Query Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `XDEBUG_SESSION_START` | string | No | Debug parameter for PhpStorm Xdebug integration.
