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
