ansible - parsing json w jmesquery - json

Question

I'm querying Splunk via the uri module w a certain search:
- name: splunk query
uri:
url: https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/admin/search/search/jobs/export?output_mode=json
method: POST
user: ...
password: ...
validate_certs: false
body_format: form-urlencoded
return_content: true
headers:
Content-Type: application/json
body:
- [ search, "{{ splunk_search }}" ]
vars:
- splunk_search: '| ...'
register: me
Splunk returns a 200, w content:
TASK [debug] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [host1] => {
"msg": "{\n \"title\": \"clientMessageId\",\n \"app\": \"whatever\"\n}\n{\n \"title\": \"a_title\",\n \"app\": \"some_app\"\n}\n{\n \"title\": \"another_title\",\n \"app\": \"my_app\"\n}\n{\n \"title\": \"title_for_app\",\n \"app\": \"another_app\"\n}"
}
However, I can't properly parse the output, I've tried:
- name: query result from content
debug:
msg: "{{ me.content | json_query('title') }}"
In this case, Ansible will return an empty string. I assume something is wrong with the formatting of the output.
Q: How can I configure Ansible to properly parse the json output, so that a new list is created based on the output.
Example:
my_list:
- title: clientMessageId
app: whatever
- title: a_title
app: some_app
...

Answer 1

What I did was change the url output_mode in which Splunk returns the content from json to csv.
url: https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/admin/search/search/jobs/export?output_mode=csv
Then, I wrote the output to a file and read it using the ansible read_csv module.
- name: write received content to csv file on controller
copy:
content: "{{ me.content }}"
dest: "./file.csv"
mode: '0775'
delegate_to: localhost
- name: read csv file
read_csv:
path: ./file.csv
delegate_to: localhost
register: read_csv
- name: set fact to create list
set_fact:
the_output: "{{ read_csv.list }}"
