How to access Kubernetes using REST API

Using proxy

kubectl proxy
# or to allow access from all interfaces
kubectl proxy --address=0.0.0.0 --accept-hosts='.*'

curl localhost:8001

By passing token in request header

1. Get token from output of

   kubectl get secrets -o yaml
   

2. Get api url from output of

   kubectl config view
   # OR
   kubectl cluster-info
   

   e.g. https://192.168.121.54:6443

3. Fire the request

   curl -k --header "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" ${API_URL}
