Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
hetzner_password string	The password for the Robot web-service user. If `hetzner_password` is specified, `hetzner_user` must also be specified, and `hetzner_token` must not be specified.
hetzner_token string added in community.hrobot 2.5.0	The API token for the Robot web-service user. One of `hetzner_token` and `hetzner_user` must be specified.
hetzner_user string	The username for the Robot web-service user. One of `hetzner_token` and `hetzner_user` must be specified. If `hetzner_user` is specified, `hetzner_password` must also be specified, and `hetzner_token` must not be specified.
rate_limit_retry_timeout integer added in community.hrobot 2.1.0	Timeout (in seconds) for waiting when rate limit exceeded errors are returned. Set to `0` to not retry. Set to a negative value like `-1` to retry forever. Default: `-1`
storagebox_id integer / required	The ID of the storage box to query.

Attributes 

Attribute	Support	Description
action_group	Action groups: community.hrobot.api, community.hrobot.robot	Use `group/community.hrobot.robot` or `group/community.hrobot.api` in `module_defaults` to set defaults for this module.
check_mode	Support: full This action does not modify state.	Can run in `check_mode` and return changed status prediction without modifying target.
diff_mode	Support: N/A This action does not modify state.	Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in `check_mode`), when in diff mode.
idempotent	Support: full This action does not modify state.	When run twice in a row outside check mode, with the same arguments, the second invocation indicates no change. This assumes that the system controlled/queried by the module has not changed in a relevant way.
