I have a script that calls k8s api ([https://api-server:6443//api/v1/[nodes/pods/services]](https://api-server:6443//api/v1/%5Bnodes/pods/services%5D)) to get node/pod/services  
Though I haven’t tried the CRI migration, but I think the dockershim deprecation or CRI migration won’t affect the api calling script.

Does anyone who did the same script like mine and can confirm this?

Thanks

It will not have any impact on it.
