how to get dict text from http.query state?

[YANG LI]

I am trying to get token from salt-api with following state:

Request token from API:
  http.query:
    - name: https://salt-master:8080/login
    - match: token
    - method: POST
    - header_list: '["Accept: application/json"]'
    - verify_ssl: False
    - data: 'username=myuser&password=changeme&eauth=pam'
    - text: True

this is output of above state:

server:
----------
          ID: Request token from API
    Function: http.query
        Name: https://salt-master:8080/login
      Result: True
     Comment: Match text "token" was found.

am I able to get text as dictionary from above state run? I tried with following state, but it failed:

echo token:
  cmd.run:
    - name: echo {{text.return[0].token}}

jinja is rendered before states are ran. there is no way for a state to add data to jinja like you are trying to do. 

you need to use the execution module. such as {% set return salt.http.query(<your settings>)%}
