As I said in the answer, you have a service principal then you just need to assign a Contributor role to it so that you can use the client id as the user and secret as the password for the basic authentication method. Of course, you can use the admin user and password of the ACR. — Charles Xu, Jan 15 '21 at 06:19

It seems Azure does not provide the SDK to get a list of repos and images. But actually, the Azure Container Registry is a private docker registry. So you can use the Docker API to get the things you need. For example, you want to get a list of the repos in ACR, then you can use the API like below:

curl -L -H "Authorization: basic $credential" https://myacr.azurecr.io/v2/_catalog

The example result:

When you use a service principal as the credential of the ACR, you need to assign the service principal a role with enough permissions. You can get more details about the Docker API.
