1)
*Export keystone credentials
export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=secret123
export OS_TENANT_NAME=demo
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://127.0.0.1:35357/v2.0

Run CLI commands with "--debug" option and copy the curl command from the output and execute it without using python client.

2)
Get Token

a)
*CLI command
#keystone --debug token-get

b)
*curl command
#curl -i -X POST http://127.0.0.1:35357/v2.0/tokens -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "User-Agent: python-keystoneclient" -d '{"auth": {"tenantName": "demo", "passwordCredentials": {"username": "admin", "password": "secret123"}}}'

3)
Save token into a shell script variable like
TOKEN=blablabla

4)

*Replace the option "-i" with "-s" and filter with "python -mjson.tool" to get readable formatted json output
#curl -s -X GET -H "X-Auth-Token:$TOKEN" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'User-Agent: python-glanceclient' http://127.0.0.1:9292/v1/images/detail?sort_key=name&sort_dir=asc&limit=20 | python -mjson.tool
