I have a new project I am working on and could use some help. The project is from upper management they want me to write a Playbook that can turn outlets on and off using an APC APDU10450SM with the API

I looked and could not find a collection to use, but I can send API calls to the unit, but unlike what I am used too, that being using a token, you have to send the username and password then the unit will send back a token and that is what is used for executing commands.

I can mock this up in Postman and it works fine, however I have issues when I do this in my Playbook I am in the weeds here would appreciate any help

Cheers

I used to have some playbooks that did the same, with the first task
calling the API and retrieving the token into a registered var, while
subsequent tasks using that var as input for
authentication/authorization:

- get_url: ...
   register: auth_token

- access_api:
       token: auth_token.body/header/etc
