Get Container Metadata¶
The Get Container Metadata operation returns all user-defined metadata for the container.
Request¶
The Get Container Metadata request may be constructed as follows. HTTPS is
recommended. Replace myaccount with the name of your storage account, and
example.com with your endpoint’s domain name or IP address.
| Method | Request URI | HTTP Version |
|---|---|---|
| GET/HEAD | https://myaccount.blob.example.com/mycontainer?restype=container&comp=metadata |
HTTP/1.1 |
URI Parameters¶
The following additional parameters may be specified on the request URI.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
timeout |
Optional. The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds.
For more information, see Setting Timeouts for Blob Service Operations. |
Request Headers¶
The following table describes required and optional request headers.
| Request Header | Description |
|---|---|
Authorization |
Required. Specifies the authorization scheme, account name, and signature. For more information, see Authorize requests to Azure Storage. |
Date or x-ms-date |
Required. Specifies the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for the request. For more information, see Authorize requests to Azure Storage. |
x-ms-lease-id |
Not applicable (Zenko version 1.2.1 does not support leasing). |
x-ms-version |
Required for all authorized requests, optional for anonymous requests. Specifies the version of the operation to use for this request. For more information, see Versioning for the Azure Storage services. |
x-ms-client-request-id |
Optional. Provides a client-generated, opaque value with a 1 KB character limit that is recorded in the analytics logs when storage analytics logging is enabled. Using this header is highly recommended for correlating client-side activities with requests received by the server. For more information, see Azure Storage Analytics Logging and Windows Azure Logging: Using Logs to Track Storage Requests. |
Request Body¶
None
Response¶
The response includes an HTTP status code and a set of response headers.
Status Codes¶
A successful operation returns status code 200 (OK).
For information about status codes, see Status and Error Codes.
Response Headers¶
The response for this operation includes the following headers. The response may also include additional standard HTTP headers. All standard headers conform to the HTTP/1.1 protocol specification.
| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
x-ms-meta-name:value |
Returns a string containing a name-value pair associated with the container as metadata. |
ETag |
The entity tag for the container. If the request version is 2011-08-18 or newer, the ETag value will be in quotes. |
Last-Modified |
Returns the date and time the container was last modified. The date format follows RFC 1123. For more information, see Representation of date/time values in headers. Any operation that modifies the container or its properties or metadata updates the last modified time. Operations on blobs do not affect the last modified time of the container. |
x-ms-request-id |
This header uniquely identifies the request that was made and can be used for troubleshooting the request. For more information, see Troubleshooting API operations. |
x-ms-version |
Indicates the version of the Blob service used to execute the request. This header is returned for requests made against version 2009-09-19 and above. This header is also returned for anonymous requests without a version specified if the container was marked for public access using the 2009-09-19 version of the Blob service. |
Date |
A UTC date/time value generated by the service that indicates the time at which the response was initiated. |
x-ms-client-request-id |
This header can be used to
troubleshoot requests and
corresponding responses. The
value of this header is equal to
the value of the
x-ms-client-request-id header
if it is present in the request
and the value is at most 1024
visible ASCII characters. If the
x-ms-client-request-id header
is not present in the request,
this header will not be present
in the response. |
Response Body¶
None
