Next, the file needs to be uploaded into an append blob in Azure Blob Storage. For instructions on how to create an Azure storage container, see Create a container. Then, upload the file using your preferred upload method (some options are the AzCopy command, the Azure CLI, or the Azure portal).
Once the NDJSON file is uploaded to the container, get its URL within the blob container. You use this value later in the body of the bulk import API call.
Here's a screenshot showing the URL value of a blob file in the Azure portal:
