I am using Ansible's URI module to call a simple GET endpoint but I am getting a 401 error message as shown below.

enter image description here

Here is the playbook configuration

  - name: Elasticsearch Cluster health Check
    uri:
      url: https://elastichost:9200/_cluster/health?&pretty
      url_password : xxxxxxx
      url_username : xxxxxx
      validate_certs : no
      method: GET
      body_format: json
      force_basic_auth: yes
      return_content: yes
      headers:
         Content-Type: "application/json" 
    register: showhealth
    tags: NonProd

  - name: Show Elasticsearch Health
    debug: var=showhealth  
    tags: NonProd

Any inputs on how to resolve

specific issue with elastic. elastic is secure, you need token or certificate to connect to api.

And ofc, your's user need correct right.

exemple

- name: Create update_user
  uri:
    url: 'uri'
    method: POST
    user: elasticuser
    body_format: json
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
    body: '{{ item.body }}'
    client_cert: 'certificate.crt'
    client_key: 'certificate.key'
    password: '{{ elastic_password }}'
    validate_certs: false
    return_content: true
