curl -X GET "https://kubernetes.local/.well-known/openid-configuration/" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

const response = await fetch("https://kubernetes.local/.well-known/openid-configuration/", {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  },
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

import requests
