Description
As a Postman user, I would like to generate Ansible task definitions using the Ansible geturi module to call the Postman defined api.
An example use case
A vendor releases a restAPI and associated openapi definition for a new piece of storage hardware. The vendor does not support Ansible. Many devops team utilise ansible as a minimum level of abstraction to hardware. The team could generate the python code using Postman and write an Ansible module but often that is overkill and they resort to stitching a few geturi tasks. The devops engineer in this scenario could use Postman to generate the Ansible tasks using the openapi definition.
Difficulty
Estimate this is rather straightforward given the output is basically yaml/ansible DSL which is pretty lightweight
