Ansible uri module loop on files - api

Question

I'm using the Ansible uri module to make a PUT API call and using all files in a directory as parameters.
I have a list of files in a directory, and I want to use the name and the content of each file in the API call
First of all i tried to list all files.
- name: "Find pipeline files in folder"
find:
paths: "/app/pipelines"
patterns: "pipeline-*.json"
file_type: "file"
register: pipe_files
- debug:
var: pipe_files
Then I want to make a loop on each file in the directory and call the API
- name: PUT PIPE
uri:
method: PUT
headers:
Content-Type: "application/json"
url: "https://api_url/**FILE_NAME**"
user: "user"
password: "user_pass"
body_format: json
body: "{{ lookup('file','/app/pipelines/**FILE_NAME.json**') }}"
validate_certs: no
force_basic_auth: yes
validate_certs: no
return_content: yes
register: pipeline_created
until: pipeline_created.status == 200
When I deploy the content, I don't have the exact filename, how can I make the loop on each file to call the API?
Best regards,
Thanks in advance.

pipe_files is a register from a find task. You can have a look at returned values in the find module documentation. You can also examine your debug task output to better get accustomed with the content of the variable.
Anyway. The list of file objects returned will be in pipe_files.files. Each element is a dict where the information you need is in the path key.
You may test with
- name: PUT pipeline
uri:
method: PUT
headers:
Content-Type: "application/json"
url: "https://api_url/{{ item.path | basename }}" # depends on input list content
user: "user"
password: "user_pass"
body_format: json
body: "{{ lookup('file', item.path) }}" # content
validate_certs: no
force_basic_auth: yes
validate_certs: no
return_content: yes
until: pipeline_created.status == 200
loop: "{{ pipe_files.files }}"
register: pipeline_created # result will become a list
