If you are looking to work with Templates programmatically, then I suggest you look at my Python client NiPyApi -https://github.com/Chaffelson/nipyapi
There is a module for doing all the usual template commands: https://nipyapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nipyapi-docs/nipyapi.html#module-nipyapi.templates And modules for doing most other things, including working with NiFi-Registry. This way you do not have to worry about the mechanics of understanding how the NiFi REST Api works, you can just get on with your automation.
