You need to do a HEAD request on the blob if you are using the API. I don't know what you are using - direct REST or perhaps some C# library?

With the AWS client, you can log in and see the 'last modified' date. This is the creation date - AWS S3 only allows atomic - whole changes to each blob.

If you don't have versioning on, no data is retained, other than perhaps log files, that would show the dates of other blobs uploaded with the same file name (key). So perhaps you are out of luck.. it depends on what you mean by 'creation'.
