[Confluence] 404 error when we call the non experimental methods for templates

[dhgoratela]

I am trying to get confluence templates by space_name or by template_id.

My observation:

1. get_template_by_id() is a deprecated method. When I execute this function I get a warning message where it recommends to use get_content_template() instead:

   DeprecationWarning: Call to deprecated method get_template_by_id. (Use get_content_template()) -- Deprecated since version 3.7.0.

   • Older function get_template_by_id(template_id=123456789) internally implements "experimental"

     url = "rest/experimental/template/{template_id}".format(template_id=template_id)

   • Newer function get_content_template(template_id=123456789) internally implements "wiki/rest/api"

     url = "wiki/rest/api/template/{template_id}".format(template_id=template_id)

2. When I use the newer method, I get 404 error (I am masking the actual domain name and template_id for security compliance)

   HTTPError: 404 Client Error: for url: https://myconfluence.domain.com/wiki/rest/api/template/123456789

FYI: I am space admin

Can someone replicate and check what can be the issue?
