Staggering unarchive module requests

Archives Ansible Project

I have a task that uses the unarchive module to download a source package from a site on the internet. However, I’m getting an HTTP 429 “Too many requests” message when this task runs, as the parallel calls from multiple hosts are making the request at the same time.

Is there any simple way to stagger these requests? I know the ‘serial’ option exists but that only works at the playbook level and I definitely don’t want to serialise every task in this role.

Thanks,
Guy

Since it's no way to serialize one task your option is to download it locally and fetch it from there or copy it out with the copy module.
