Sending JSON variable as a body in curl command

[bikram40]

Hi All,

I defined a json variable in vars section and want to pass it as body in curl command as below:

vars:

   - paydata: {"status":"complete","message":"successfully   

               completed","actions":["close ticket"]}

- local_action: command curl -X PUT -i -H "Content-Type:application/json" https://ansibledev.corp.xxxx.com:8443/api/job/{{ ticket }} -k --data "{{ paydata }}" completed","actions":["close ticket"]}' --header

But here is the error I am getting. Seems "paydata" is not passed as expected.

fatal: [10.225.240.39 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["curl", "-X", "PUT", "-i", "-H", "Content-Type:application/json", "https://gns-ansible-dev.corp.xxx.com:8443/api/job/CRQmattcheng22", "-k", "-d", "{ustatus:", "ucomplete,", "umessage:", "usuccessfully completed,", "uactions:", "[uclose ticket]}",

Any resolution?

Thank you in advance.

Have you considered using the uri module instead?

vars:

   - paydata: {"status":"complete","message":"successfully   

               completed","actions":["close ticket"]}

- local_action: command curl -X PUT -i -H "Content-Type:application/json" https://ansibledev.corp.xxxx.com:8443/api/job/{{ ticket }} -k --data "{{ paydata }}" completed","actions":["close ticket"]}' --header

But here is the error I am getting. Seems "paydata" is not passed as expected.

fatal: [10.225.240.39 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["curl", "-X", "PUT", "-i", "-H", "Content-Type:application/json", "https://gns-ansible-dev.corp.xxx.com:8443/api/job/CRQmattcheng22", "-k", "-d", "{ustatus:", "ucomplete,", "umessage:", "usuccessfully completed,", "uactions:", "[uclose ticket]}",

Any resolution?

Please post your playbook. It looks like the data needs proper escaping to be used in the command line.

As Sudheer mention you should take a look at the uri module.

This is not json in Ansible it's a dict.

To make a dict to be formated as json you need to use the to_json filter
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html#filters-for-formatting-data

Thanks for your feedback.

But there is a problem in 'URI' module. 

In "URI" module, there is no way to pass "access token". Access token is required here as the url is OAUTH2.0 enabled.

You can get access token by passing client id and secret but you cannot pass it to uri module to get the response back. That's why I am trying to use curl command and sending the JSON body.

Best Wishes,

Bikram

Something seems off here.

I don't see how are you are passing 'access_token' in your curl command
line example.

You can send 'access_token' via URI module in request body, header or URL.

Hi Sudheer,

Here is the format of my tasks and it is working perfectly with curl command but I want to send data from variable as I mentioned earlier.

- name: authenticate with restible via oauth2.0

      uri:

        body:

          grant_type: client_credentials

        body_format: form-urlencoded

        force_basic_auth: yes

        method: POST

        user: "{{ client_id }}"

        password: "{{ client_secret}}"

        status_code: 201

        url: https://gns-ansible-dev.corp.xxx.com:8443/auth/token

        validate_certs: no

      register: token_auth_response

    - set_fact: access_token="{{ 'Authorization:'+'Bearer' + ' ' + token_auth_response.json.access_token }}"

    

    - local_action: command curl -X PUT -i -H "Content-Type:application/json" https://gns-ansible-dev.corp.xxx.com:8443/api/job/{{ ticket }} -k --data '{"status":"complete","message":"unsuccessfully completed","actions":["close ticket"]}' --header  "{{ access_token }}"

Thank you very much.

Hi Sudheer,

Sending access token in headers works.

Here is the code section:

headers:

           Authorization: "Bearer {{ token_auth_response.json.access_token }}"

           Content-Type: "application/json"

Thanks for your help.
