The following powershell can be used to test a Shared Access Signature Token:

static void UseAccountSAS(string sasToken)
{
    // Create new storage credentials using the SAS token.
    StorageCredentials accountSAS = new StorageCredentials(sasToken);
    // Use these credentials and the account name to create a Blob service client.
    CloudStorageAccount accountWithSAS = new CloudStorageAccount(accountSAS, "account-name", endpointSuffix: null, useHttps: true);
    CloudBlobClient blobClientWithSAS = accountWithSAS.CreateCloudBlobClient();

    // Now set the service properties for the Blob client created with the SAS.
    blobClientWithSAS.SetServiceProperties(new ServiceProperties()
    {
        HourMetrics = new MetricsProperties()
        {
            MetricsLevel = MetricsLevel.ServiceAndApi,
            RetentionDays = 7,
            Version = "1.0"
        },
        MinuteMetrics = new MetricsProperties()
        {
            MetricsLevel = MetricsLevel.ServiceAndApi,
            RetentionDays = 7,
            Version = "1.0"
        },
        Logging = new LoggingProperties()
        {

            RetentionDays = 14,
            Version = "1.0"
        }
    });

    // The permissions granted by the account SAS also permit you to retrieve service properties.

  --url https://<application-id>-1.algolianet.com/1/indexes/<example-index>/settings \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-algolia-api-key: <example-key>' \

  --data '{"highlightPreTag": "<script>alert(1);</script>"}'
