Determine JIra Project Template Key via REST API

Question

I'm already able, via Jira REST API, to determine if the project is "software" based.  How do I take this a step further, via Jira REST API to determine which of the following "software development" types that my Jira project is classified as:

* Scrum software development
* Kanban software development
* Basic software development

FYI: I'm aware that the above "software types" equate to using the following templates behind the scenes:

* com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-scrum-template
* com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-kanban-template
* com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:basic-software-development-template

Yes.  The project table has "type", which is the Software/Business/Service Desk you've already found, but no template key.

What you are saying makes sense.  Just to verify, if I were to log into backend Jira database instance, your saying I wouldn't see any of those 3 software-types/templates relating back to any of the defined Jira projects?

Jira doesn't record the templates - they're only used while creating a project and aren't of any use after that because an admin can (and often does) reconfigure the project away from the template.
