Retrieves the container's link with read access for an instance of [reality data](https://www.itwinjs.org/learning/glossary/#realitydata).

A container is where the reality data itself (a point cloud, a mesh, a collection of images, ...) is stored.

The container's link will allow you to upload/download data directly to this container.

A [reality data](https://www.itwinjs.org/learning/glossary/#realitydata) is always associated to exactly one container.

The `iTwinId` parameter is optional, but it is preferable to provide it, because the permissions used to access the container are determined from the iTwin. With no iTwin specified, the operation can succeed in some cases (e.g. the user is the reality data's owner), but we recommend to provide a `iTwinId`.

In future API versions, containers could be hosted in in different cloud providers, but for now, only Azure cloud is supported.

To store or retrieve data from a container, refer to the [Azure Blob Storage documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/).

Retrieves a list of [reality data](https://www.itwinjs.org/learning/glossary/#realitydata) instances belonging to the specified iTwin.

The retrieved instances are those for which you have the required access rights, relative to the specified iTwin. 

The `iTwinId` is optional. If you don't provide it, the retrieved [reality data](https://www.itwinjs.org/learning/glossary/#realitydata) instances will be relative to general access rights provided by your organization. These rights are usually more restrictive, so we recommend using the `iTwinId` parameter for exhaustive results.

### Notes

The `Prefer` header can be used to specify how much result metadata is desired by the client. The `Prefer` request header field is used to indicate that particular server behaviors are preferred by the client but are not required for successful completion of the request.

This operation supports `"return=representation"` and `"return=minimal"` preferences.

The `"return=representation"` preference indicates that the client prefers that the server include an entity representing the current state of the resource in the response to a successful request, i.e., all properties are included in the response.
The `"return=minimal"` preference indicates that the client wishes the server to return only a minimal response to a successful request. This is the default preference if `Prefer` header is not specified.

### Authentication
