I know that I can programmatically create a new page via wp_insert_post setting 'post-type' to 'page.'

How do I go about editing that page programmatically? (title, content, slug, etc.)

Also, if I wanted to set the template for that page programmatically, how would I do that?

If you look at the documentation, you can insert title, content, slug, etc. using wp_insert_post then use update_post_meta to assign the template to that post.

You can write like this

$post_arr = array(
 'post_title'=>'My title goes here',
 'post_content'=>'This is my long content.',
 'post_excerpt' => 'My Excerpt',
 'post_status' => 'publish',
);
$new_post_id = wp_insert_post($post_arr);

Then set template like this.

update_post_meta( $new_post_id, '_wp_page_template', 'template-file.php' );

To see more options for wp_insert_post, you can check it's documentation page.

  @Eli if you look up the docs there's a wp_update_post, which is just a wrapper around wp_insert_post, but keep in mind we have a 1 question per question policy here, don't "mung" or "squish" all your questions together, it can drastically reduce the opportunities for answers

  To edit/update the data, you can pass ID to the $post_arr, if a post with that ID exists, wp_insert_post will update old data instead of creating a new one.
