Using this information and the URL of `kube-apiserver`, one should be able to make the call to the given url (/api/v1/namespaces/{namespace}/pods/{name}) with parameters such as `name`, `exact`, `export`, etc. to get pod’s information. Client libraries generators would also use this information to create an API function call for reading pod’s information. For example, [python client](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/client-python) makes it easy to call this operation like this:



```
from kubernetes import client

ret = client.CoreV1Api().read\_namespaced\_pod(name="pods\_name", namespace="default")
 ```



A simplified version of generated read\_namespaced\_pod, can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/mbohlool/d5ec1dace27ef90cf742555c05480146).



Swagger-codegen document generator would also be able to create documentation using the same information:



```
GET /api/v1/namespaces/{namespace}/pods/{name}

(readCoreV1NamespacedPod)

read the specified Pod

Path parameters

name (required)

Path Parameter — name of the Pod

namespace (required)

Path Parameter — object name and auth scope, such as for teams and projects

Consumes

This API call consumes the following media types via the Content-Type request header:

-
\*/\*


Query parameters

pretty (optional)

Query Parameter — If 'true', then the output is pretty printed.

exact (optional)

Query Parameter — Should the export be exact. Exact export maintains cluster-specific fields like 'Namespace'.

export (optional)

Query Parameter — Should this value be exported. Export strips fields that a user can not specify.

Return type
