Kubernetes/Container engine HTTP API for creating pods

Question

I need to create pods using HTTP.

I created cluster using:

gcloud preview container clusters create

and I can create pod using:

gcloud preview container pods create

But this is not what i want. I want to create pods with instance of my application via http API.

There is API where I can create clusters. But I need something like this for creating pods. Is it possible?

This is basically the same question as this one (asked yesterday) and has the same answer:

Once you launch your container cluster on Google Container Engine, you will have a master running the kubernetes API on a VM in your GCP project. You can interact with it via the kubectl command line client , or you can extract the credentials for the cluster using gcloud and make HTTPS (but not HTTP) calls using the REST API exposed by the master.
