I have a task which performs a GET request to a page. The response's body is a JSON like the following.
{
"ips": [
{
"organization": "1233124121",
"reverse": null,
"id": "1321411312",
"server": {
"id": "1321411",
"name": "name1"
},
"address": "x.x.x.x"
},
{
"organization": "2398479823",
"reverse": null,
"id": "2418209841",
"server": {
"id": "234979823",
"name": "name2"
},
"address": "x.x.x.x"
}
]
}
I want to extract the fields id and address, and tried (for id field):
tasks:
- name: get request
uri:
url: ""
method: GET
return_content: yes
status_code: 200
headers:
Content-Type: "application/json"
X-Auth-Token: "0010101010"
body_format: json
register: json_response
- name: copy ip_json content into a file
copy: content={{json_response.json.ips.id}} dest="/dest_path/json_response.txt"
but I get this error:
the field 'args' has an invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is undefined. The error was: 'list object' has no attribute 'id'..
Where is the problem?

The error was: 'list object' has no attribute 'id'
json_response.json.ips is a list.
You either need to choose one element (first?): json_response.json.ips[0].id.
Or process this list for example with map or json_query filters if you need all ids.
Ansible command to copy to file:
copy:
content: "{{ output.stdout[0] }}"
dest: "~/ansible/local/facts/{{ inventory_hostname }}.txt"
