Storage accounts are provisioned as part of a DXP project and are used for various purposes (for example, access logs or to download site contents). The storage container API allows access to the BLOB storage containers and contents. The API has the following operations.

  1. **List** – Lists the available BLOB storage containers.

  2. **Generate SAS link** – Generates a read-only SAS link for a blob container with a dynamic link expiration time

The storage containers API uses an authentication mechanism similar to other deployment APIs. See [Deployment API authentication](🔗).
