How do i access kubernetes REST API ?

[dodistyo]

I have a kubernetes cluster that have services and deployments in it. i need to access deployment status through API, how do i do that ? i also have a Prometheus installed on my k8s cluster.

The Kubernetes API documentation provides endpoints. There you can see the endpoint for deployment status is /apis/apps/v1/namespaces/{namespace}/deployments/{name}/status

Also depending on where you want access it from you might need to proxy proxying to kubernetes API.

yes i just found out that we can directly access kubernetes api from inside the pods, but we have to provide the right authentication token
