Mandatory Pagination

We are introducing mandatory pagination, effective November 15, 2025. All calls to this API must include the following two parameters:

• page: The page number of the results you wish to fetch.
• entries: The number of templates to return per page, with a maximum value of 15.

Please update all integrations to include these parameters. API requests submitted without them after the effective date will result in an error and fail to execute.
