Hello Folks,
I have a requirement to loop through an REST API, to get data, and I would like to use ANSIBLE YAML.
The API itself only renders 400 entries(limit) at a time and hence to get the entire data set will need to loop through all offsets incrementing every time by 400.
Each time the api is called the resulting JSON has a key which tells whether more results are available or not.
The non-trivial piece for me:
- The end count is unknown, hence cannot use loop or with_items/stride etc.
- The condition to goto next increment is part of the resulting JSON from API get.
I was able to make this work via python but want to use available URI module to do the same.
Any ideas are much appreciated!
thanks
