How to make API call on NSX-T with ansible

 We will make execute an ansible playbook to get all the NSX-T segments for us

cat /root/ansible/hosts/hostsNsx.ini
[nsxtdev]
NSX-T.abc.com

cat /root/ansible/playbooks/nsx.yaml

- hosts: nsxtdev

  connection: local

  gather_facts: false

  tasks:

  - name: Get all the NSX-T Segments

    uri:

      url: https://NSX-T/policy/api/v1/infra/segments

      force_basic_auth: yes

      validate_certs: no

      headers:

        Accept: "application/json"

        Content-Type: "application/json"

      user: USERNAME

      password: PASSWORD

      method: GET

      status_code: "200"

      body_format: json

ansible-playbook -i /root/ansible/hosts/hostsNsx.ini /root/ansible/playbooks/nsx.yaml -vvvv

to avoid using  -vvvv and to get the only API call result , you can use the following playbook

 

- hosts: nsxtdev

  connection: local

  gather_facts: false

  tasks:

  - name: Get all the NSX-T Segments

    uri:

      url: https://NSX-T/policy/api/v1/infra/segments

      force_basic_auth: yes

      validate_certs: no

      headers:

        Accept: "application/json"

        Content-Type: "application/json"

      user: USERNAME

      password: PASSWORD

      method: GET

      status_code: "200"

      body_format: json

    register: response

  - debug: var=response.json

ansible-playbook -i /root/ansible/hosts/hostsNsx.ini /root/ansible/playbooks/nsx.yaml
