![](https://techprofile.blob.core.windows.net/images/aWg0XX9YrEetLk45eHFzSg.png?8D8199)
Hi All,
I have a Blob Container on Azure and This container has Block Blobs (Database Backups). There are more than 100 files and I want to create a report (SSRS or POWERBI) to show list of File Names, Blob Type, Access Tier, File Size, Date Created, Date Modified etc.
How can I pull above metadata of all the files.
Any suggestions? I am ok with using Poly-base, or pulling these information using SSIS or if there is any way I can get these info using PowerBI?

They recommend using the Blob Rest API and then using that as a data source. You might find this page useful if that is the direction you choose to take.
Hope this helps!
