Hi ​@rvgfox I asked chatGPT and it seems like this might be possible using TX REST data source:

“Use the Get Blob Service Properties operation to retrieve properties such as Storage Analytics settings and CORS rules. Example request:

GET https://<account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/?restype=service&comp=properties

@Christian Hauggaard How can I use it in a data source?

I’ve readed your tutorial but I’m not be able to setup it. Can you help me?

@rvgfox have you been able to do the GET call in Postman with the desired results? I recommend this as the first step to setting up a REST data source. Once you have been able to generate the desired results in Postman please try using the same setup in the TimeXtender REST data source

For example I was able to get it working in Postman by referring to our documentation, particularly:

and using ChatGPT to get the URL and then for some troubleshooting of authentication error messages.

 

Then I entered these same settings in the TX data source.

Data returned

Please refer to our documentation, and use ChatGPT and test in Postman when trying to setup a REST data source in the future
