  title: Ansible Automation Controller Playbooks Auth Credentials API
  version: '2'
  description: 'REST API for managing and executing Ansible playbooks via the Ansible

    Automation Controller (formerly Ansible Tower / AWX), the enterprise

    automation engine inside the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

    Playbooks live inside projects (SCM-synced from Git, etc.) and are run

    via job templates that bind them to inventories, credentials, and

    extra variables. The API exposes management of inventories, hosts,

    credentials, projects, job templates, workflow job templates,

    schedules, organizations, teams, users, and the launching and

    inspection of jobs.
