Hi!

Shall I know how to pass extra_var and inventory details as json format to curl command to awx api?

“defaults”: {
“extra_vars”: “—”,
“diff_mode”: false,
“limit”: “”,
“job_tags”: “”,
“skip_tags”: “”,
“job_type”: “run”,
“verbosity”: 2,
“inventory”: {
“name”: null,
“id”: null
},

Hello ,

You can try to use the command below:

$ curl -f -d '{"extra_vars": "{\"foo\": \"bar\"}"} ' http://<tower.example.com>/api/v2/job_templates/1/callback

Another way is to create a JSON file and then pass it using -d @my.json

You can get more information at this page as well https://reqbin.com/req/c-dwjszac0/curl-post-json-example

Please let us know if that helps you.
