Does Pega have the capability to connect to another REST API which provides the location of the file in Azure Blob Storage
We are in Pega 8.7 and we have a requirement to access Microsoft Azure Blob Storage to access file and process it in Pega. But this file location is provided by another REST API. So we would like to know if there is a capability to retrieve the file location dynamically and then access the file using the URL provided.

@RajeshS56 What I understood from your question is, you will be getting the file location as a URL and that would be dynamic. The query string part of the URL can be dynamic, and that part can be passed from pega case and then you can access the file and attach it to case if api is giving attachment stream as the output.

@Anoop Krishna , is there any API in Pega to access the files in the AzureBlobStorage and process them. I am trying to use a Repository rule and a File Listener to access the file located in Azure Blob. But not sure whether that is the best solution.
Can you please share your thoughts.
Thanks

@RajeshS56 yes, there are OOTB pega repository apis(you just need to pass parameter and hit the OOTB dpage) to access files. You can view files in the repository, get files etc etc. Please check the below URL for reference.

@Anoop Krishna Does pega Repository API's give us the capability to move the files across other folders inside of the Azure Blob Storage?
I am using a file listener to listen the file placed in Azure Blob, but it is getting moved to a completed folder even before my Dataflow thread gets completed in loading the file.
Hence I am looking for a way in using any of the available Repository API functions to move the file to another folder inside Azure Blob where it persists the file for my Dataflow execution.
Appreciate if you can suggest some inputs
Thanks,
Rajesh
