Get Table Service Properties

The Get Table Service Properties operation gets the properties of an Azure Table Storage account, including properties for Storage Analytics and cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) rules.

For more information about CORS rules and evaluation logic, see CORS support for the Azure Storage services.

Request

The Get Table Service Properties request may be specified as follows. We recommend that you use HTTPS. Replace <account-name> with the name of your storage account:

Method Request URI HTTP version
GET https://<account-name>.table.core.windows.net/?restype=service&comp=properties HTTP/1.1

Note

The URI must always include a slash character (/) to separate the hostname from the path and query portions of the URI. In this operation, the path portion of the URI is empty.

URI parameters

URI parameter Description
restype=service&comp=properties Required. Both query strings are required to get the Table Storage properties.
timeout Optional. The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds.

Request headers

The required and optional request headers are described in the following table:

Request header Description
Authorization Required. Specifies the authorization scheme, storage 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-version Required for all authorized 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-kibibyte (KiB) character limit that's recorded in the Storage Analytics logs when logging is configured. We highly recommend that you use this header to correlate client-side activities with requests that the server receives. For more information, see Monitor Azure Table Storage.

Request body

None.

Response

The response includes an HTTP status code, a set of response headers, and a response body.

Status code

A successful operation returns status code 200 (OK).

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.

Response header Description
x-ms-request-id Uniquely identifies a request that was made against the service.
x-ms-version Specifies the version of the operation that was used for the response. For more information, see Versioning for the Azure Storage services.
x-ms-client-request-id Can be used to troubleshoot requests and their corresponding responses. The value of this header is equal to the value of the x-ms-client-request-id header if it's present in the request and the value contains no more than 1,024 visible ASCII characters. If the x-ms-client-request-id header isn't present in the request, it won't be present in the response.

Response body

For version 2012-02-12 and earlier, the format of the response body is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The elements of the response body are described in the following table:

Element Description
Logging Groups the Storage Analytics Logging settings.
Metrics Groups the Storage Analytics Metrics settings. The Metrics settings provide a summary of request statistics, grouped by API in hourly aggregates for tables.
HourMetrics Groups the Storage Analytics HourMetrics settings. The HourMetrics settings provide a summary of request statistics, grouped by API in hourly aggregates for tables.
MinuteMetrics Groups the Storage Analytics MinuteMetrics settings. The MinuteMetrics settings provide request statistics for each minute for tables.
Version The version of Storage Analytics that's currently in use.

Authorization

Only the storage account owner may call this operation.

Sample request and response

The following sample URI makes a request to get the Table Storage properties for a fictional storage account named myaccount:

GET https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/?restype=service&comp=properties HTTP/1.1  

The request is sent with the following headers:

x-ms-version: 2013-08-15  
x-ms-date: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 04:49:03 GMT  
Authorization: SharedKey  
myaccount:Z1lTLDwtq5o1UYQluucdsXk6/iB7YxEu0m6VofAEkUE=  
Host: myaccount.table.core.windows.net  

After the request has been sent, the following response is returned:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK  
Content-Length: 1020  
Content-Type: application/xml
