SHOW-USERS CALL API result empty

[yoan]

Hello,

I'm having some issues with the show-users API call, which returns an empty result, whereas show-domains works fine.

Here's my code:

    - name: "[MDS] Send POST request to Check Point API for login"
      ansible.builtin.uri:
        url: "https://mdshost.test.local/web_api/login"
        method: "POST"
        headers:
          Content-Type: "application/json"
        body_format: json
        body:
          user: "admin"
          password: "wwwwwww"
        validate_certs: false
      register: _login_query_response
      failed_when: false
      delegate_to: localhost

    - name: "[MDS] Set the session ID for subsequent API calls"
      set_fact:
        _mds_sid: "{{ _login_query_response.json.sid }}"
        _mds_url: "{{ _login_query_response.json.url }}"
      when: _login_query_response.json != {}

    - name: "Send POST request to check If domains"
      ansible.builtin.uri:
        url: "{{ _mds_url }}/show-domains"
        method: "POST"
        headers:
          Content-Type: "application/json"
          X-chkp-sid: "{{ _mds_sid }} "
        body_format: json
        body:
          details-level: standard
        validate_certs: false
        status_code: 200
      ignore_errors: true
      register: _show_domain_response

    - name: "Send POST request to check If users"
      ansible.builtin.uri:
        url: "{{ _mds_url }}/show-users"
        method: "POST"
        headers:
          Content-Type: "application/json"
          X-chkp-sid: "{{ _mds_sid }} "
        body_format: json
        body:
          details-level: full
        validate_certs: false
        status_code: 200
      ignore_errors: true
      register: _show_users_response

Here's the output when i use ansible-playbook -vvv:

Did I make an error in my code?

Please try making the API call directly (without Ansible).
mgmt_cli -r true show users

The command @PhoneBoy gave you worked for me. I tested in 2 labs, R81.20 and R82, no problem.
