Ansible or Curl example for importing policy variables via API

Hello All,

I'm trying to import a list of variables in to Restorepoint via the API "/policies/variables/import" with ansible but as of now I have no luck. Does anyone have an example (can be with Curl or another language) about the right syntax?

Regards,

Michael

    Hello,

    Sending me back to the documentation is not very helpful since I asked for an example. In the meantime I have figured out the solution and want to share with the community.

    ansible.builtin.uri:
    url: https://{{ inventory_hostname }}/api/v2/policies/variables/import
    method: POST
    validate_certs: false
    body_format: form-multipart
    body: 
      file: 
        content: "{{ lookup('file','restorepoint_vars.csv') }}"
        filename: "restorepoint_vars.csv"
        Content-Type: text/csv
      overwrite: "true"
    headers:
#      Content-Type: text/csv
      Authorization: "{{ ApiToken }}"

    This works for us,

    Regards,
    Michael

    Hello Michael, 

    The team suggests you refer to this section of the API documentation. It should help you when trying to import the policy variables. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
