```

- API version: v1
- Operation ID: `v1_public_csv_template_vendor`
- Section: Imports and exports › [CSV imports](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/csv-imports.md)

- Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`

Returns `vendor_import_template.csv`: the header row and one example row for a vendor CSV import. It is a file, not JSON.

Columns: `vendor_name`, `vendor_website`, `vendor_internal_notes`, `vendor_default_vendor_note`, `vendor_account_number`, `contact_first_name`, `contact_last_name`, `contact_email`, `contact_phone`, `contact_phone_country`, `contact_fax`, `contact_fax_country`.

Vendor CSV files are imported in the YoPrint web app (Import Portal). The public API has no vendor CSV upload.

## Permission

Any member of the team.

## Path parameters

- `team_slug` (string, required): Your team slug, shown as Team ID next to your API key in Profile. Example `your-team`.

## Request body

This operation takes no request body.

### Example request

```bash
curl -X PUT 'https://secure.yoprint.com/v1/api/store/your-team/csv/template/vendor' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'X-Yoprint-Decimal-Format: exact-v1' \
  -o export.csv
```

## Response

`200` The template, UTF-8 with a byte order mark, sent as an attachment named vendor_import_template.csv.

The answer is a file (`text/csv`), not JSON. The example saves it with `curl -o`.

## Errors

- `401` The API key is missing or wrong (`unauthenticated`).
- `403` You are not allowed to do this. `api_access_not_in_plan`: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only `{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}`. Other refusals use the error envelope, with `unauthorized` or `user_is_not_authorized`.
- `404` Not found. `page_not_found`: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. `code: null`, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.

## Notes

- The route uses `PUT` but changes nothing. Send no body.
- The example row is sample data. Delete it before you import.
