Using post(s) to sent payload to ansible

[jpdsc]

I've been looking into automating my homelab even further and saw that it is also possible to post directly into an API.
However, the ansible API I'm using needs different data in the payload.

Is it possible to achieve this with the Notifications section? Or is there a different place where I can "curl" a payload to an API?

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is when there are github updates on scripts / data I use; I want Ansible to receive a request to run a task to update the script/data. As I'm using ansible-semaphore, this is achievable by POST with an API token.

Is this what you want? https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/Notify_Custom_Form

I'll have a go on this today, thanks for sharing!

It's written in the documentation, wiki, and even in the UI that you can use "posts://.." or "post://..." Syntax which is actually not from apprise, but it's our own custom extension

May I ask where additional details are for the posts and post syntax? I looked in the wiki and website but I cannot find the documentation. Thanks

@jpdsc there is nothing to it, just try it first :) posts://google.com/endpoint etc

[jpdsc]

Yes, I tried that, the issue is that I need to add a key and additional json tags. For example:

-H 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \
-d '{"template_id": 16}' \
http://localhost:3004/api/project/1/tasks

Is this achievable by the post:// method?

I have the same question

[jpdsc]

@dgtlmoon wouldn't it be an idea or possible to be able to use curl in the notifications section of self-hosted? This would be amazing to create own notifications / triggers?

[dgtlmoon]

yeah hmmm, agreed, its kinda hard to add the 'header' there, the UI should make it nicer/easier when there is a post:// type one

[jpdsc]

It's even worse, adding an header might work but not headers which have a : symbol eg: Authorization: Bearer TOKEN. There seems to be an issue in requests that it doesn't pass : and sees it as an unsupported symbol. This from the apprise github.

If the UI can make it nicer, that would be amazing but keep in mind that if you use requests lib, it can still give an error because of the : symbol.
