Every component in NiFi has a UUID. For process groups you can see the id in the left hand palette when it is selected, for templates the id should be in the table that lists the templates.

Oh right it doesn't show the id in the UI, you will have to first query for all of the templates using this call:

http://localhost:8080/nifi-api/flow/templates

Then you can find the id of the template you want.
