To retrieve containers from Object Storage using Postman, follow these steps:

1. We need to generate the token to access Object Storage

You need to get credentials from your object storage, so you can go to:

Control Portal >> Object Storage >> Select Account Name (e.g. SLOS123123-10) >> Select Cluster (e.g. Milan 1) >> click on "View Credentials"

You will be able to see

Then, you can go to postman and fill as the below example:

As you see, I had success with the request. So I need the "Headers" information from the response, as the follow example:

After getting "X-Storage-Url" and "X-Storage-Token", you can retrieve the containers as the example below:

I hope it helps you to access Object Storage using Postman, please let me know any doubt or comment.
