Need iControl Rest API to manage irules/LX Workspace/LX Plugins

Here is an excerpt from my Ansible uri-module based approach to create LTM iRules.

(I dont know if it can be used for iRule/LX as well. Sorry for hijacking this thread.)

The iRules are stored as separate files in a sub-directory on the Ansible host.

Now there is a 1st task to create "empty" iRules first and a 2nd one to actually push the files contents to the newly added iRules:

- name: block of tasks to create iRules
  block:
  
  - name: create empty iRules
    uri:
      validate_certs: no
      url: https://{{ inventory_hostname }}/mgmt/tm/ltm/rule
      method: POST
      headers:
        X-F5-Auth-Token: "{{ device_info[inventory_hostname].token }}"
        X-F5-REST-Coordination-Id: "{{ transaction_data.json.transId }}"
      body_format: json
      body:
        name: "{{ item.name }}"
    with_items: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].irules }}"
    when: item.name not in irule_list
          
  - name: push TCL code into empty iRules
    uri:
      validate_certs: no
      url: https://{{ inventory_hostname }}/mgmt/tm/ltm/rule/{{ item.name }}
      method: PATCH
      headers:
        X-F5-Auth-Token: "{{ device_info[inventory_hostname].token }}"
        X-F5-REST-Coordination-Id: "{{ transaction_data.json.transId }}"
      body_format: json
      body:
        apiAnonymous: "{{ lookup('file', '~/irules/%s.tcl' | format(item.name)) }}"
    with_items: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].irules }}"
    when: item.name not in irule_list
    
  when: irule_dict is defined

The code above is just an exerpt from a transaction based approach to get the job done.

It requires the aquisition of an auth token in advance and specific inventories.

But it hopefully illustrates the concept (method, path, content).
