I am trying to retrieve a file(File type: csv or xml) by REST API from Azure File Storage, I have Storage Account Name & Key

e.g. account: testgetfilestorage PW:ABC/abc82abc93f80 YCKJH23YGOabcabcabcabcbacbabcbabcabcbabcabcbacmZQ==

I use the "Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer" tool can view & download files successfully, but I test it on Postman was not successful, there is an error: view error image

----------------------------------

Following is my setting on Postman


In Header:

x-ms-version: 2014-02-14


In URL:

GET https://testgetfilestorage.file.core.windows.net/integration/TestFile.xml

I can 100% sure the file exists on File Shares, but the error return 404. May I know anything I did wrong? Thanks

CodePudding user response：

All requests to Azure File Storage must be authorized. The reason you are getting the 404 error is because the requests are not authorized.

If you are using account name/key, you have two options:

1. Create Authorization header and include Authorization header in your request. Steps to compute authorization header is described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/authorize-with-shared-key.

2. Use Shared Access Signature. Instead of using authorization header, you can create a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token on the file and use that SAS token as part of the request URL. Steps to compute SAS token for a storage resource is described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/create-service-sas. You can also create a SAS token on the file using Storage Explorer or Azure Portal. When creating SAS token, please ensure that it has at least read permission.
