problem using uri module with proxmox api

[Martin Etcheverry]

Hi , i am pretty noob with ansible, i am struggling interacting with proxmox api using the module uri.

I know that exist a proxmox module in ansible , but i need to send keys right after the vm boots , and that is not covered with the proxmox module .

The proxmox api has a node to send keys (yes one by one).Here is the api node doc.https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html#/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/sendkey

I am not used to interact with api's so my code could be "mounstruosily wrong".

But i will use any hint/tip.

}

return_content: yes

return_content: no

url_username: "{{ proxmox_auth_user}}"

url_password: "{{ ticket.json.data.ticket }}"

body_format: json

' { "key":"kp_enter", "node":"gallifrey","vmid":"501", "CSRFPreventionToken":"{{ ticket.json.data.CSRFPreventionToken }}", "PVEAuthCookie":"{{ ticket.json.data.ticket }}", "username":"{{ proxmox_auth_user}}", "PVEAuthCookie": "{{ ticket.json.data.ticket }}" }'

headers:

Content-Type: "application/json"

As you can see in the body , i am trying anything that pases on my mind .....

And i still receiving a "Status code was 401 and not [200]: HTTP Error 401: No ticket"

I understand that i am doing the request in bad way , but i don't figure out.

Anyone has interacted with proxmox api using uri module?

Thanks in advance!

Martin
