We needed the complete Ansible module documentation in JSON format, so we wrote some code to parse all of the documentation fields from the Python modules, and served it up as a public API.

This data completely free and public - feel free to use it for your projects! We regenerate it when a new Ansible version is released (currently generated from 2.8.1).

Complete API documentation available here: [https://docs.playbook.cloud/#/user\_guide/using\_the\_api?id=module-api-usage](https://docs.playbook.cloud/#/user_guide/using_the_api?id=module-api-usage)

Enjoy!
