ansible freeipa get info

[Nathanaël Blanchet]

Hello,

I'm used to get informations/facts from any API based product such as 
ovirt or awx with either a module (ovirt_vm_info ) or either a lookup 
plugin (awx).

But I can't find anyway to do such a thing with the freeipa collection, 
except directly calling the API with curl as this

curl  \
          -H referer:https://$HOSTNAME/ipa%C2%A0 \
          -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
          -H "Accept:applicaton/json"\
          --negotiate -u : \
          --cacert /etc/ipa/ca.crt  \
          -d  '{"method":"host_find","params":[[""],{}],"id":0}' \
          -X POST       https://%60hostname%60/ipa/json%C2%A0 \

My question is to verify if I miss something, and how other users manage 
to get json objects as variables so as to use them in a full ansible 
context ( maybe uri module???)

I'm not sure if "freeipa collection" is ansible-freeipa, which is developed
and
supported by the FreeIPA team, or the Ansible community.general plugins.

Anyway, neither collection has plugins to gather general information about
your setup. In ansible-freeipa here is config, and a few modules that
provide
some responses, but none do a "*-find" or "*-show", IIRC.

For ansible-freeipa, if you want, please open an RFE requesting this
behavior:

https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa/issues

And please, detail your use case.
