To obtain the JWT, you’ll use our Token endpoint. You can access this with either our SDK, or via a JSON request.

​
SDK

In this example, we’ll use our Python SDK to retrieve and store the JWT in a text file for later.

Python
from salad_cloud_imds_sdk import SaladCloudImdsSdk, Environment

sdk = SaladCloudImdsSdk( base_url=Environment.DEFAULT.value, timeout=10000 )

result = sdk.metadata.get_container_token()

with open('jwt.txt', 'w+') as token:
  token.write(result)
  print("Saved JWT to file...")

​
SDK Examples

​
JSON Request

You can request the token directly from the endpoint at http://169.254.169.254/v1/token. In this example, we’ll do the same as before but with a JSON post request via Python.

Python
import requests

r = requests.get('http://169.254.169.254:80/v1/token')
token =r.json()['jwt']

with open('jwt.txt', 'w+') as token:
  token.write(result)
  print("Saved JWT to file...")
