unifi_controller_facts - UniFi Controller Facts Ansible Module

This project is to extend the UniFi Controller API and consume it via a native Ansible module. There are a few difficulties with this sort of thing, first being the lack of UniFi Controller API documentation. It's pretty much non-existant. This project is largely based on this project: [https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-client/], this is basically a Python port of that client, you may notice many similarities.

What does this do?

This module provides a simple, yet needed extension of the UniFi Controller API. With this module, you can query your UniFi Controller and gather facts and information. This module doesn't have many actions (read: none), the primary purpose is to gather information from the UniFi Controller. In order to manipulate your UniFi Controller, you'll need my unifi_controller Ansible module (coming soon).

Instructions

1. Download, fork, obtain this source code somehow
2. Load it onto a machine that has Ansible installed
3. Note the test.yml file for examples on how to use the module

Known Issues

• Documentation in embedded in the module script. It should be copied and compiled externally probably a bit better...
• There are a few untested functions that I don't have the current capacity to fully develop/test, being that I lack a USG, and only have 2 UAPs. If anyone would like to contribute code to support the UniFi switches, and cameras, etc, or maybe donate a device, that'd be much appreciated.
• There are also a few functions that seem to have been broken/made unavailable in the version of the UniFi Controller I operate (my setup isn't that old, I've only tested the 5.8.x line)
