About SAS Azure Blob Storage URLs

Azure Blob Storage URLs typically follows this format:

https://<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<folder-path>/<blob-name>
  • <storage-account-name>: The name of your Azure Blob Storage account.
  • <container-name>: The name of the container within the storage account.
  • <folder-path>: The path to a specific folder within the container.
  • <blob-name>: The name of the specific file or blob you want to access. Normally in Proteus, you don't need reference specific blobs, but whole folders or containers.

The SAS token query parameter follows the following format: 

?sp=<permissions>&st=<start-time>&se=<expiry-time>&sv=<sas-version>&sr=<resource-type>&sig=<signature>

You can now attach the SAS token query parameter to the Azure Storage URL to obtain a URL similar to the following one:

https://<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<folder-path>/?sp=<permissions>&st=<start-time>&se=<expiry-time>&sv=<sas-version>&sr=<resource-type>&sig=<signature>
