```javascript
const res = await fetch('https://vibecode.bitrix24.com/v1/task-templates', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'X-Api-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    fields: {
      TITLE: 'Weekly status report',
      CREATED_BY: 1,
      RESPONSIBLE_ID: 1,
    },
  }),

const { success, data } = await res.json()
if (success && data > 0) {
  console.log('Template ID:', data)
}
```

```javascript
const res = await fetch('https://vibecode.bitrix24.com/v1/task-templates', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'X-Api-Key': 'YOUR_APP_KEY',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer USER_SESSION_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({

```

## Response fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|------|-----|----------|
| `success` | boolean | `true` if the request was accepted |
| `data` | number | ID of the created template. `0` — the template was not created: `fields` lacks `TITLE`, `CREATED_BY` or `RESPONSIBLE_ID`. The response status is still `200`, so check that `data` is greater than zero |

## Response example

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": 75
}
```

## Error response example

400 — the body has no `fields` object:

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "INVALID_PARAMS",
    "message": "Expected fields and only fields, params"
  }
}
```

## Errors

| HTTP | Code | Description |
|------|-----|----------|
| 400 | `INVALID_PARAMS` | The body is not a JSON object, has no `fields` object, contains keys other than `fields` and `params`, or `params` is not an object |
| 401 | `MISSING_API_KEY` | The `X-Api-Key` header is missing |
| 401 | `TOKEN_MISSING` | The key has no Bitrix24 tokens |
| 403 | `SCOPE_DENIED` | The key does not have the `task` scope |
| 403 | `WRITE_BLOCKED_READONLY_KEY` | The key is in read-only mode. `error.details.switchUrl` holds the URL of the section where the mode is changed |
| 422 | `BITRIX_ERROR` | Bitrix24 rejected the call. The text is in `error.message` |
| 429 | `RATE_LIMITED` | Request rate exceeded. The effective cap is in the `x-ratelimit-limit` header |
