Streams the original source file of a contract template version so the frontend can render an inline preview (for example, a PDF) directly in the browser. The response is the raw file bytes served with an inline content disposition, not a JSON payload.

Authentication & access

• Requires a client API token: Authorization: Bearer <token>.
• The caller must hold the contracts.templates.read permission and have the OWNER, OPERATIONS, or DEVELOPER role.
• Contract signing must be enabled for the client. If it is disabled the request returns 403.

Path parameters

Response

• 200 — Returns the raw template file as a binary stream.
• The Content-Type reflects the stored source file (typically application/pdf for PDF templates or application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document for DOCX templates).
• The response carries Content-Disposition: inline with the template's original filename, so browsers render it in place rather than forcing a download. It also sets X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

Error responses

Standard 401 (authentication), 403 (insufficient permission or role), and 429 (rate limit) responses apply to every endpoint and are documented in the Error reference.
