Bearer Token w/ C# REST API

Question

Hi guys,

I am quite confusing/lost with somethings that I was requested to do. It is basically, Bearer Token authentication with my users stored on Azure Storage Account, I spent basically two days looking how can I do that, but I could find nothing on internet, I'm beginner into this coding life, I might have misunderstood some explanations, whenever I click to read there are some many pages of everything that, its quite hard to get it.

I'm looking for some kind of guiding through this, because I don't know from where I should start.

Hi 95289493, its suggested to use SAS authentication rather than bearer token to get to Azure Storage Account. Therere huge amounts of official tutorials about it.
You can find how you build a sample and get blob or something else from your Azure Storage Account (with REST API) from the link below:
Link1. storage-rest-api-auth

I also found something that might be helpful for you.

Link2. C# REST API tutorials: console-webapiclient
Link3. Authentication and Bearer token tutorials: authentication-and-authorization

Dont be afraid of coding, its normal to feel confused from time to time at the beginning of coding. Happy coding!

@Julio Caproni Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. I understand that you want to know how you can achieve Bearer Token that can be used for authentication.

Here are some articles which talk about getting the Bearer Token- https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/6227162/T1Ds8abg

https://www.linkedin.com/learning/azure-for-developers-introduction-to-the-microsoft-identity-platform/solution-obtain-a-bearer-token?autoplay=true&resume=false&u=0

As seen, if you use POSTMAN, it has the script already to get this token once you populate the Tennant ID, Client ID and Client secret. Here is how to get these three values by creating a service principal- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/create-an-azure-service-principal-azure-cli, which will result in an output which includes all these values as shown below-

Where, AppID- Client ID
Password- Client password
Tenant- Tenant ID

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions/concerns and I will be glad to assist further. Thank you!
