Post Request using uri module to update the parameter flags/values

[abhijith...@gmail.com]

Hello There,

I have the below GET response for a feature API request. I would like to update the values for the corresponding parameters as follows in the json object:

"paramValue": 15

"configState": "ENABLE"

GET Response output: 

TASK [debug] *********************************************************************************************************************

ok: [localhost] => {

    "msg": {

        "changed": false,

        "connection": "close",

        "content_length": "126",

        "content_type": "application/json",

        "cookies": {},

        "date": "Wed, 27 Feb 2019 01:47:59 GMT",

        "failed": false,

        "json": {

            "configClass": "MASTER",

            "configState": "DISABLE",

            "id": "FEATURE-BIT",

            "instanceId": 0,

            "paramValue": 0,

        },

        "msg": "OK (126 bytes)",

        "redirected": false,

        "status": 200,

    }

}

I am not sure of the syntax, how to update the values/flags in the json object and send POST request using URI module. Please advice ?

Here is the snipped from the playbook for "GET" request task: 

    - name: Enable feature bit/parameters

      uri:

        url: https://<API REQUEST URL >

        method: GET

        return_content: yes

        status_code: 200

        headers:

          Content-Type: application/json

          Cookie: "{{ login.set_cookie.split(';')[0] }}"

        body_format: json

      register: api_result

      tags: enable_stay_sec

      changed_when: false

      failed_when: api_result.status != 200

    - debug:

        msg: "{{ api_result }}"
