Dear All,

I have some use cases to create a REST API for Ansible core so that I can call the API from other platforms( say, remedy) to run the playbook.

I am thinking to build with flash+python.

I would appreciate it if anybody could share some real world experience.

Thank you in advance.

Warm regards,  
Bikram Biswas
