Write variable to a file in Ansible

by

An important comment from tmoschou:

As of Ansible 2.10, The documentation for ansible.builtin.copy says:
If you need variable interpolation in copied files, use the
ansible.builtin.template module. Using a variable in the content
field will result in unpredictable output.

For more details see this and an explanation

Original answer:

You could use the copy module, with the content parameter:

- copy: content="{{ your_json_feed }}" dest=/path/to/destination/file

The docs here: copy module
