Obtaining Template Metadata

Function

ShowTemplateMetadata

This API obtains the metadata of the current template.

To obtain details, you can refer to ShowTemplateMetadataResponseBody. To view all versions of a template, call ListTemplateVersions.

template_id is the unique ID of the template. It is a UUID generated by RFS when a template is created. Template names are unique at one specific time, so you can create a template named HelloWorld and another template with the same name after deleting the first one. For parallel development, team members may want to ensure that they are operating the template they created, not one with the same name created by other members after deleting the previous one. To avoid this mismatch, check the ID, since RFS ensures each template has a unique ID that does not change with updates. If the template_id value differs from the current template ID, 400 is returned.
