Not reading variable value inside nb_lookup query

[MercifulCamel]

So I have a question in regards to passing a variable inside the nb_lookup module.

It currently looks like this

- name: "Grabing facts from NetBox for {{ vm_name }}"
  set_fact:
    netbox_vm_memory: "{{ item.value.memory }}"
    netbox_vm_disk: "{{ item.value.disk }}"
    netbox_vm_vcpus: "{{ item.value.vcpus }}"
    netbox_tenant_id: "{{ item.value.tenant.id }}"
    netbox_vm_ip4: "{{ item.value.primary_ip4.address }}"
  loop: "{{ query('netbox.netbox.nb_lookup', 'virtual-machines', api_filter='name={{ vm_name }}', api_endpoint=netbox_url, token=netbox_token) }}"

the vm_name variable is set to ti332-ci332, but when I run it it looks for a virtual machine named vm_name instead of ti332-ci332.
Is there anyway to make it look for the variable value instead or is that impossible atm?

try something like this:

  - name: setup | create api filter
    set_fact:
      api_filter: "name={{ vm_name }}"

  - name: setup | lookup the vm from netbox
    set_fact:
      vip_address: "{{ query('netbox.netbox.nb_lookup', 'virtual-machines',
        api_endpoint=netbox_url,
        api_filter=api_filter,
        raw_data=true,
        token=netbox_token) }}"

Thanks, this worked for me

I usually use strings and concatenate the parameters together for api_filter.

For example:

 api_filter='name=' +  vm_name
