title: Kubernetes API - Get Pods on Specific Nodes
body: <p>Reading the <a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels/#selecting-sets-of-nodes" rel="noreferrer">Kubernets documentation</a> it looks to be possible to select a certain range of pods based on labels. I want to select all the pods on one node but I don't want to label each pod on their corresponding node.</p>
  <p>Am I missing something from the documentation or is it just not possible to select by node?</p>
  <p>If I do:</p>
  <pre class="lang-shell prettyprint-override"><code>kubectl get pods \
  --output=wide
  --namespace=$NS \
  --server=$SERVER | head
  
  #=&gt;
  
  NAME   READY     STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
  </code></pre>
  <p>Can any of these headers be used as selector? If yes, how to do it with <code>kubectl</code>?  How to do it with the API?</p>
