-### Python Example
-Here is an example of how to create a token as Python client:
-
-```python
-import jwt
-import datetime
-import hashlib
-
-method = 'GET'
-uri = '/volumes'
-secret = 'My secret'
-
-claims = {}
-
-# Issuer
-claims['iss'] = 'admin'
-
-# Issued at time
-claims['iat'] = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
-
-# Expiration time
-claims['exp'] = datetime.datetime.utcnow() \
-	+ datetime.timedelta(minutes=10)
-
-# URI tampering protection
-claims['qsh'] = hashlib.sha256(method + '&' + uri).hexdigest()
-
-print jwt.encode(claims, secret, algorithm='HS256')
-```
-
-Example output:
-
-```

-
-### Ruby Example
-Run this as: `./heketi-api.rb volumes`
-
-```ruby
-#!/usr/bin/env ruby
-
-require 'jwt'
-require 'digest'
-
-user = "admin"
-pass = "password"
-server = "http://heketi.example.com:8443"
-
-uri = "/#{ARGV[0]}"
-
-payload = {}
-
-headers = {
-  iss: 'admin',
-  iat: Time.now.to_i,
-  exp: Time.now.to_i + 600,
-  qsh: Digest::SHA256.hexdigest("GET&#{uri}")
-}
-
-token = JWT.encode headers, pass, 'HS256'
-
-exec("curl -H \"Authorization: Bearer #{token}\" #{server}#{uri}")
-```
-
-Copy this example token and decode it in [jwt.io](http://jwt.io) by pasting it in the token area and changing the secret to `My secret`.
