Hi @AModi, one good way to get the correct API call is to debug the CLI, details here. If you are unsure of CLI commands, on the CLI you can type "find command keyword {{something}}" to find the correct command.

In this instance, whilst the web GUI uses "target-tpl=template" to direct commands to a specific template in Panorama, this cannot be used as an external XML API client. Instead, first "set" the target template with this command, as you would on CLI:

https://{{host}}/api?key={{key}}&type=op&cmd=<set><system><setting><target><template><name>{{template-name}}</name></template></target></setting></system></set>

Then carry on with your subsequent certificate operation API calls, but do not include the "target-tpl=template" part. For example, these two commands will lead you to upload a certificate to a specific template.

https://{{host}}/api?key={{key}}&type=op&cmd=<set><system><setting><target><template><name>{{template-name}}</name></template></target></setting></system></set>

https://{{host}}/api/?key={{key}}&type=import&category=certificate&format=pem&certificate-name={{cert-name}}

Hope this helps!
