# RequestTemplates

This method returns a list of server side templates available for this account. The list format is the same as in the EnvelopeTemplateDefinition in the [RequestTemplate section](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/administrative-group/requesttemplate).

### Schema

![RequestTemplates](/_fern-files/_img/a03a951a7493a786255185c2e50ebf42e7d4de9922fe041287b32c7fd48872d6.webp)

**`C#`**

```csharp title="C#"
// Request all the templates that this account has on file
DocuSignWeb.EnvelopeTemplateDefinition[] response = _apiClient.RequestTemplates(_accountId,
    false);

// Print out information about the templates
foreach (DocuSignWeb.EnvelopeTemplateDefinition def in response)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Retrieved template definition with ID {0} with name \"{1}\"",
         def.TemplateID, def.Name);
}
```

**`PHP`**

```php title="PHP"
// Request all the templates this account has on file 
$requestTemplatesparams = new RequestTemplates();
$requestTemplatesparams->AccountID = $AccountID;
$requestTemplatesparams->IncludeAdvancedTemplates = false;
$rtsResponses = $api->RequestTemplates($requestTemplatesparams)->RequestTemplatesResult->EnvelopeTemplateDefinition;
```
