Hi,

I am writing a route53 module for internal usage. For that, I want to list the alias records from route53.

> `
> 
> * * *
> 
> - name: retrieve details for [lb.example.io](http://lb.example.io)  
> strategy: debug  
> hosts: localhost  
> tasks:
> - route53:  
> state: get  
> zone: [example.io](http://example.io)  
> record: [lb.example.io](http://lb.example.io)  
> type: A  
> register: rec
> - name: Print record  
> debug:  
> var: rec
> 
> `

This is the run output

`

PLAY [retrieve details for [lb.example.io](http://lb.example.io)] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

TASK [Gathering Facts] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
ok: [localhost]

TASK [route53] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

TASK [Print record] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
ok: [localhost] =\> {  
“rec”: {  
“changed”: false,  
“failed”: false,  
“nameservers”: [

“[ns-1140.awsdns-14.org](http://ns-1140.awsdns-14.org).”,  
“[ns-1893.awsdns-44.co.uk](http://ns-1893.awsdns-44.co.uk).”,  
“[ns-691.awsdns-22.net](http://ns-691.awsdns-22.net).”  
],  
“set”: {}  
}  
}

PLAY RECAP \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
localhost

`

When I list the record using _AWS CLI,_ I get the following answer

`

⚡ aws route53 list-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* --query “ResourceRecordSets[?Name == ‘[lb.example.io](http://lb.example.io).’]” |jq ..AliasTarget.DNSName

“[m1.example.io](http://m1.example.io).”  
“[m2.example.io](http://m2.example.io).”  
“[m3.example.io](http://m3.example.io).”  
“[m4.example.io](http://m4.example.io).”  
“[m5.example.io](http://m5.example.io).”  
“[m6.example.io](http://m6.example.io).”  
“[m7.example.io](http://m7.example.io).”

`

I am following [route53 core module](http://ansible-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/route53_module.html). My ansible version is

`

⚡ ansible --version  
ansible 2.4.1.0

`

Please suggest if I am missing something here.

thanks
