Create a New Table in an Azure Storage Account

See more Azure Table Service Examples

Creates a new table using the Azure Table Service REST API. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

rest = chilkat.CkRest()

# Implements the following CURL command:

# curl -X POST \
#   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
#   -H "Accept: application/json;odata=fullmetadata" \
#   -H "Prefer: return-content" \
#   -d '{   
#     "TableName":"mytable"  
# }' https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables

# Use the following online tool to generate REST code from a CURL command
# Convert a cURL Command to REST Source Code

# IMPORTANT: Make sure to change "myaccount" to your actual Azure Storage Account name.
# URL: https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables
bTls = True
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("myaccount.table.core.windows.net",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success != True):
    print("ConnectFailReason: " + str(rest.get_ConnectFailReason()))
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
azAuth = chilkat.CkAuthAzureStorage()
azAuth.put_AccessKey("AZURE_ACCESS_KEY")
# The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
azAuth.put_Account("myaccount")
azAuth.put_Scheme("SharedKey")
azAuth.put_Service("Table")

# This causes the "x-ms-version: 2019-07-07" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.put_XMsVersion("2019-07-07")
success = rest.SetAuthAzureStorage(azAuth)

# Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
# headers: Content-Length, x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
# are automatically set by Chilkat.

# Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
# The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
# reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
# made via the Connect method.

# Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
# Generate Code to Create JSON

# The following JSON is sent in the request body.

# {
#   "TableName": "mytable"
# }
