How to connect Azure Blob

Create Blob Connection

  • go to Azure Portal and choose related storage container https://portal.azure.com/
  • Check the left menu for “Access Keys”. Copy Key for “your_key”
  • There should be a link for your storage account something like https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/, put this link instead of “your_link”
  • run the following code
  • your_connection = AzureStor::storage_container(AzureStor::storage_endpoint(your_link, key=your_key), “your_container”)
  • Tip: put the Key and connection string in local in a config file. i.e.
  • read config myazurecongif <- read.config(“C:/Users/yourname/Documents/yourfile”)
  • blob <- AzureStor::storage_endpoint(endpoint = myazurecongif[link],key = myazurecongif[key])
  • your_connection <- AzureStor::storage_container(blob, “containername”)
