Please install the infoblox.nios_modules collection and use the corresponding lookup from it.  Alternative 
infoblox.nios_modules.nios_lookup   Synopsis  Uses the Infoblox WAPI API to fetch NIOS specified objects. This lookup supports adding additional keywords to filter the return data and specify the desired set of returned fields.  Requirements The below requirements are needed on the local controller node that executes this lookup.  infoblox-client  Parameters   Parameter Choices/Defaults Configuration Comments    _terms  string / required        The name of the object to return from NIOS     extattrs  string        a dict object that is used to filter on extattrs     filter  string        a dict object that is used to filter the return objects     provider  dictionary        A dict object containing connection details.      host  string        Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote instance of NIOS WAPI over REST Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_HOST environment variable.      http_pool_connections  integer    Default:10     Number of pools to be used by the infoblox_client.Connector object. This is passed as-is to the underlying requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter class.      http_pool_maxsize  integer    Default:10     Maximum number of connections per pool to be used by the infoblox_client.Connector object. This is passed as-is to the underlying requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter class.      http_request_timeout  integer    Default:10     The amount of time before to wait before receiving a response Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT environment variable.      max_results  integer    Default:1000     Specifies the maximum number of objects to be returned, if set to a negative number the appliance will return an error when the number of returned objects would exceed the setting. Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_MAX_RESULTS environment variable.      max_retries  integer    Default:3     Configures the number of attempted retries before the connection is declared usable Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_MAX_RETRIES environment variable.      password  string        Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_PASSWORD environment variable.      silent_ssl_warnings  boolean    
Choices: no 
yes ←      Disable urllib3 SSL warnings in the infoblox_client.Connector object. This is passed as-is to the underlying requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter class.      username  string        Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_USERNAME environment variable.      validate_certs  boolean    
Choices: 
no ← yes      Boolean value to enable or disable verifying SSL certificates Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_SSL_VERIFY environment variable. 
aliases: ssl_verify      wapi_version  string    Default:"2.1"     Specifies the version of WAPI to use Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_WAP_VERSION environment variable. Until ansible 2.8 the default WAPI was 1.4     return_fields  string        The list of field names to return for the specified object.     Notes  Note  This module must be run locally, which can be achieved by specifying connection: local. Please read the Infoblox Guide for more detailed information on how to use Infoblox with Ansible.   Examples - name: fetch all networkview objects
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    networkviews: "{{ lookup('community.general.nios', 'networkview',
                         provider={'host': 'nios01', 'username': 'admin', 'password': 'password'}) }}"

- name: fetch the default dns view
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    dns_views: "{{ lookup('community.general.nios', 'view', filter={'name': 'default'},
                      provider={'host': 'nios01', 'username': 'admin', 'password': 'password'}) }}"

# all of the examples below use credentials that are  set using env variables
# export INFOBLOX_HOST=nios01
# export INFOBLOX_USERNAME=admin
# export INFOBLOX_PASSWORD=admin

- name: fetch all host records and include extended attributes
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    host_records: "{{ lookup('community.general.nios', 'record:host', return_fields=['extattrs', 'name', 'view', 'comment']}) }}"


- name: use env variables to pass credentials
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    networkviews: "{{ lookup('community.general.nios', 'networkview') }}"

- name: get a host record
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    host: "{{ lookup('community.general.nios', 'record:host', filter={'name': 'hostname.ansible.com'}) }}"

- name: get the authoritative zone from a non default dns view
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    host: "{{ lookup('community.general.nios', 'zone_auth', filter={'fqdn': 'ansible.com', 'view': 'ansible-dns'}) }}"
 Return Values Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this lookup:   Key Returned Description    obj_type  dictionary   success  The object type specified in the terms argument        obj_field  string   success  One or more obj_type fields as specified by return_fields argument or the default set of fields as per the object type      Status  This lookup will be removed in version 5.0.0.
