Noam, I have a repo where I am using the api to run my playbooks.  
You can look at this one as an example…  
[test\_kinesis\_stream.py](https://github.com/linuxdynasty/ld-ansible-modules/blob/master/test/cloud/amazon/test_kinesis_stream.py)

I have a repo where I include tests for one of my modules that uses the 2.0 API. This is not documentation, but you can use it as an example.
