Description
Please specify whether your issue is about:
- a possible bug
- a question about package functionality
- a suggested code or documentation change, improvement to the code, or feature request
IMDS v2 requires that a token be requested prior to getting metadata. This should be a fairly simple fix - issue the token request prior to curling for the metadata. Thoughts?
