I think this is your issue as noted in https://developer.cisco.com/docs/sdwan/20-13/sd-wan-vmanage-v20-13-api-change-log/ they changed the content type to application/json and added property id (string) from the API JSON file looking at the AO sandbox which is running 20.10 it did use `application/octet-stream`. This a significant change because it means, the endpoint previously returned a binary file (octet-stream) which was likely the actual bootstrap configuration as a zip file.

Basically the change is

Version pre 20.13:
Handles binary data (application/octet-stream)
Saves the response as a zip file
Uses streaming to handle potentially large file

Version 20.13:
Handles JSON data
Returns a Python dictionary
Sets Accept header to application/json

But this said, your error does not 100% output what i would expect, although i saw this a few time and the errors on sd-wan are not always the best. Your error message VBOOTSTRAP0004 with "Bootstrap file not found" suggests that your code is making and

id parameter you're passing is either empty (notice how the error message shows "id " with nothing after it) or doesn't correspond to an existing bootstrap configuration file in the system.

Are you using the content type application/octet-stream and what is the ID you are passing?

I have tried the deviceid and uuid as the id

Is your content set for application/octet-stream, has a bootstrap configuration has been generated for this device?
