Using Elementor Templates with WP Rest API

I am using an API to create new WP pages. I have an Elementor template which is saved as a “Elementor Canvas”. I want to be able to create a new Elementor Canvas page with this template through the API.

As far as I understand I can’t directly create a page using a Elementor Template, so I am trying to create a Elementor Canvas and add the Elementor Template Shortcode as the “post content”.

The only thing that isn’t working is the Canvas. The page is being created as a default WP page, not an Elementor Canvas, so the template isn’t formatting correctly.

Is there a way to fix what I’m doing, or a better way to create a new page from an Elementor Template using Rest API?

{
"action": "create_post",
"post_author": "<authorID>",
"post_content": "<post content>", /* using: [elementor-template id="3542"] */
"post_title": "Leave us a Review",
"post_status": "publish",
"post_type": "page",
"comment_status": "closed",
"post_name": "<post-name>",
"page_template": "elementor_canvas"
}

I’m not sure if I’m using the wrong names or something? For example I’ve tried:

"template": "elementor_canvas"

As well as

"page_template": "elementor_canvas"
