Tip #1454: Azure Blob metadata and index tags in Power Automate

The image showcases a vast cloud composed of numerous data storage units, each adorned with colorful tags featuring various labels and codes. The cloud floats in a clear blue sky, symbolizing a network of cloud storage. Below and extending into the horizon are countless similar data units, alluding to the expansive nature of digital storage. The tags hanging from the cloud suggest metadata which categorizes and identifies the data within each storage unit. This visual metaphor illustrates the concept of Azure Blob Storage, where each blob can be tagged with metadata for identification and organization purposes, floating in the limitless sky of cloud computing.

Access blob metadata in two steps: get SAS URL then HTTP request: HEAD to read or PUT to write.
Accessing blob tags is not that easy but get your SAS key that allows tag manipulation elsewhere then come back and finish the job.
