Azure Storage | Operate As Docs

Connect your client's Azure Storage with a sign-in, and call its API through Operate As.

Website: azure.microsoft.com
Connects by: Signing in with Azure Storage
Category: Files and docs
Services: 1
Tools: Pass-through only

Service	Key	Base URL
Azure Storage	`azure-storage`	`https://{account}.blob.core.windows.net`

Your client also types their storage account (The part before .blob.core.windows.net in your storage account's address).

Connecting

Your client presses Connect on their link and approves on Azure Storage's own screen. Operate As never sees their password.

Check they're connected

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"

curl https://api.operate.as/v1/me/clients \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"

Pass-through

Azure Storage has no ready-made tools yet. Call any endpoint of its API through Operate As instead, with the client's access attached.

Add the client

In Clients, add your client and select Azure Storage. Then send them their link.

Your client connects

They sign in with Azure Storage and approve.

Find the endpoint

Pick the call from Azure Storage's own API docs. Your path is everything after https://{account}.blob.core.windows.net, with the parts in braces filled in from your client's account.

Send it through Operate As

Use the client's ID, the service key azure-storage and that path. Your Operate As key goes in Authorization; the client's access is added for you.

See Pass-through requests for the full request and response format.

Call any endpoint

curl "https://api.operate.as/v1/clients/6f1c2a7e-.../azure-storage/?comp=list" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"

curl "https://api.operate.as/v1/clients/6f1c2a7e-.../azure-storage/?comp=list" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"

Response

{
  "status": 200,
  "data": {
    "…": "the service's own response"
  },
  "encoding": "json"
}

{  "status": 200,  "data": {    "…": "the service's own response"  },  "encoding": "json"}

When access ends

Operate As renews the sign-in before it runs out and checks it daily. If Azure Storage refuses to renew it, the service shows Expired, you're alerted, and your client reconnects from the same link.

See Keeping access alive and Removing access.
