Obviously, you may use whichever HTTP client you are most comfortable with.
Here is how to do it without the `oc-gw` script, using [`curl`](https://curl.se/):
First, make sure to retrieve a JWT for authentication from Keycloak:
```bash
token=$(curl --silent --insecure --fail -X POST "https://keycloak.opencloud.test/realms/openCloud/protocol/openid-connect/token" -d username="alan" -d password="demo" -d grant_type=password -d client_id="groupware" -d scope=openid | jq -r '.access_token')

Then use that token to authenticate the Groupware API request:
```bash
curl --insecure -s -H "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" "https://cloud.opencloud.test/groupware/"
