Class BlobServiceClient

java.lang.Object

com.azure.storage.blob.BlobServiceClient

public final class BlobServiceClient
extends Object

Client to a storage account. It may only be instantiated through a BlobServiceClientBuilder. This class does not hold any state about a particular storage account but is instead a convenient way of sending off appropriate requests to the resource on the service. It may also be used to construct URLs to blobs and containers.

This client contains operations on a blob. Operations on a container are available on BlobContainerClient through BlobServiceClient.getBlobContainerClient(String), and operations on a blob are available on BlobClient.

Please see here for more information on containers.
