pydo.kubernetes.get_credentials()

Description

This endpoint returns a JSON object . It can be used to programmatically construct Kubernetes clients which cannot parse kubeconfig files.

The resulting JSON object contains token-based authentication for clusters supporting it, and certificate-based authentication otherwise. For a list of supported versions and more information, see “How to Connect to a DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster”.

To retrieve credentials for accessing a Kubernetes cluster, send a GET request to /v2/kubernetes/clusters/$K8S_CLUSTER_ID/credentials.

Clusters supporting token-based authentication may define an expiration by passing a duration in seconds as a query parameter to /v2/kubernetes/clusters/$K8S_CLUSTER_ID/credentials?expiry_seconds=$DURATION_IN_SECONDS. If not set or 0, then the token will have a 7 day expiry. The query parameter has no impact in certificate-based authentication.

Parameters

Request Sample

import os
from pydo import Client

client = Client(token=os.environ.get("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN"))

resp = client.kubernetes.get_credentials(cluster_id="da8fda8")
