Can we collect metrics for Azure Classic VM using Storage API

By collect metrics, if you mean the process of capturing the metrics data then the answer is no. You can't use Storage API to do that. You would need to use the Metrics API for that purpose. Data collected by this API will store the data in Azure Storage.

Once the data is in Azure Storage, then you can use Storage API to get that data. Depending on where the data is stored (Blobs and/or Tables), you would use appropriate parts of Storage API to fetch and manage that data.
