Introduction

Overview

Welcome to Nasuni Data Service (NDS) API Documentation.

NDS provides an Azure Blob Storage–compatible endpoint for accessing data stored in Nasuni volumes. This enables direct, read-only interaction with cloud object storage, without requiring a Nasuni Edge Appliance (NEA).

Authentication

The API supports two authentication methods:

1. SAS Token Authentication
   Use a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token to authorize requests. You can generate SAS tokens during NDS deployment. Required query parameters include:
   • sv: Storage service version
   • ss: Accessible services
   • srt: Accessible resource types
   • sp: Permissions granted
   • se: Expiration time
   • st: Start time
   • sig: Token signature
2. Shared Key Authentication
   Authenticate by signing your requests using a shared key. Include the key in the Authorization header to sign your requests. Use one of the two shared keys generated during NDS deployment.
