Is there an OSLC or REST API I can use to get a list of work item templates in a project area by their IDs? I cannot use the Java API (either server or client-side).
I'm not aware of any OSLC/REST API that can do it, but you can use this internal API to retrieve such information.

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means.
