Ansible AWX - RESTful API
The Ansible AWX API comes with a variety of endpoints to work with AWX programmatically.
In this post I shall explain how I used Python to launch a Job template in AWX via the API.
Endpoints
All API endpoints can be found under the root:
<awx_host>/api/<version>
A HTTP GET returns the list of endpoints (at the time of writing API v2 is the current version).
