Templated API Documentation
This is the complete API documentation for connecting to the Templated API using MindCloud's Universal API. If you are new to MindCloud, start with the Introduction to see how one API can sit in front of many different apps.
MindCloud is an integration company that offers one normalized API to access 3,100+ apps from a single place. It cleans up provider-specific quirks, keeps requests and responses consistent, and centralizes authentication so you do not need to manage separate flows for every app. Browse other apps.

Quickstart
Before you run your first Templated request, you need three things:
- A MindCloud account — sign in or create an account at MindCloud.
- A MindCloud API Key — create one in API Keys. Keep it on your server.
- At least one Templated connection — create or choose one in Connections. Note its
connectionId.
Every Templated action uses the same URL pattern:
https://connect.mindcloud.co/v1/universal/templated/latest/actions/{actionSlug}You need a MindCloud API Key and a Templated connection. Then call an action such as Get Account Information:
curl --request GET \
--url "https://connect.mindcloud.co/v1/universal/templated/latest/actions/get-account-information" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $MINDCLOUD_API_KEY" \
--get \
--data-urlencode "connectionId=$CONNECTION_ID"Every response comes back in the same envelope, with your rows in a data array:
{
"success": true,
"data": [
{ "id": "1042", "name": "Ava" }
],
"meta": {}
}After your first request works, use Shape your requests to control arguments, pagination, filtering, fields, and errors.
Authentication
Authentication has two layers. Your MindCloud API Key authenticates the request to MindCloud, sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. The connectionId selects the connected Templated account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the Templated credentials behind that connection, so you never send provider tokens with your requests.
Pass connectionId in the query string for GET and DELETE actions, and in the JSON body for POST, PUT, and PATCH actions. Keep your MindCloud API Key on your server; do not ship it in browser code, mobile apps, public repositories, or logs.
Get your Templated API key
You need access to the Templated dashboard for the workspace you want to use in MindCloud.
- Sign in to Templated
Open the Templated dashboard and sign in to the workspace you want to connect to MindCloud.
Dashboard - Open the API Key tab
In the Templated dashboard, open the API Key tab shown in the official authentication docs.
Dashboard → API Key - Copy the API key
Copy the API key from the API Key tab and keep it ready for the MindCloud connection form.
- Paste the key into MindCloud
Use the copied key as the API key for your Templated connection in MindCloud and save the connection.
