[ixpmanager] IXPManager API accessed by Ansible inventory plugin/script

[Thomas Fritz]

Hi Barry!

Thanks for the reference.

A first prototype of an ansible inventory script is alive here.

I am wondering, if there is a better way to get a list of the switches names than to do a GET to https://example.net/api/v4/member-export/ixf/1.0 and then iterate over ['ixp_list'][0]['switch’]?

Best regards,
Thomas
