+====================
+ Service Operations
+====================
+
+To retrieve data about our Swift-compatible service, you may execute ``GET`` 
+requests using the ``X-Storage-Url`` value retrieved during authentication. 
+
+List Containers
+===============
+
+A ``GET`` request that specifies the API version and the account will return
+a list of containers for a particular user account. Since the request returns
+a particular user's containers, the request requires an authentication token.
+The request cannot be made anonymously.
+
