args¶

class azure.storage.blob.BlobServiceClient(account_url: str, credential: Optional[Any] = None, **kwargs: Any)[source]¶

A client to interact with the Blob Service at the account level.

This client provides operations to retrieve and configure the account properties as well as list, create and delete containers within the account. For operations relating to a specific container or blob, clients for those entities can also be retrieved using the get_client functions.

Parameters

account_url (str) – The URL to the blob storage account. Any other entities included in the URL path (e.g. container or blob) will be discarded. This URL can be optionally authenticated with a SAS token.
credential – The credentials with which to authenticate. This is optional if the account URL already has a SAS token. The value can be a SAS token string, an account shared access key, or an instance of a TokenCredentials class from azure.identity. If the URL already has a SAS token, specifying an explicit credential will take priority.

Keyword Arguments

api_version (str) –
The Storage API version to use for requests. Default value is ‘2019-07-07’. Setting to an older version may result in reduced feature compatibility.

New in version 12.2.0.

get_service_stats(**kwargs: Any) → Dict[str, Any][source]¶

Retrieves statistics related to replication for the Blob service.

It is only available when read-access geo-redundant replication is enabled for the storage account.

With geo-redundant replication, Azure Storage maintains your data durable in two locations. In both locations, Azure Storage constantly maintains multiple healthy replicas of your data. The location where you read, create, update, or delete data is the primary storage account location. The primary location exists in the region you choose at the time you create an account via the Azure Management Azure classic portal, for example, North Central US. The location to which your data is replicated is the secondary location. The secondary location is automatically determined based on the location of the primary; it is in a second data center that resides in the same region as the primary location. Read-only access is available from the secondary location, if read-access geo-redundant replication is enabled for your storage account.

Keyword Arguments: timeout (int) – The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds.
Returns: The blob service stats.
Return type: Dict[str, Any]

download_blob(blob: Union[str, BlobProperties], offset: Optional[int] = None, length: Optional[int] = None, **kwargs: Any) → StorageStreamDownloader[source]¶

Downloads a blob to the StorageStreamDownloader. The readall() method must be used to read all the content or readinto() must be used to download the blob into a stream.

Parameters

blob (str or BlobProperties) – The blob with which to interact. If specified, this value will override a blob value specified in the blob URL.
offset (int) – Start of byte range to use for downloading a section of the blob. Must be set if length is provided.
length (int) – Number of bytes to read from the stream. This is optional, but should be supplied for optimal performance.

Keyword Arguments

validate_content (bool) – If true, calculates an MD5 hash for each chunk of the blob. The storage service checks the hash of the content that has arrived with the hash that was sent. This is primarily valuable for detecting bitflips on the wire if using http instead of https, as https (the default), will already validate. Note that this MD5 hash is not stored with the blob. Also note that if enabled, the memory-efficient upload algorithm will not be used because computing the MD5 hash requires buffering entire blocks, and doing so defeats the purpose of the memory-efficient algorithm.
lease (BlobLeaseClient or str) – Required if the blob has an active lease. If specified, download_blob only succeeds if the blob’s lease is active and matches this ID. Value can be a BlobLeaseClient object or the lease ID as a string.
if_modified_since (datetime) – A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has been modified since the specified time.
if_unmodified_since (datetime) – A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has not been modified since the specified date/time.
etag (str) – An ETag value, or the wildcard character (*). Used to check if the resource has changed, and act according to the condition specified by the match_condition parameter.
match_condition (MatchConditions) – The match condition to use upon the etag.

:keyword str if_tags_match_condition: Specify a SQL where clause on blob tags to operate only on blob with a matching value. eg. “”tagname”=’my tag’”

New in version 12.4.0.

Keyword Arguments

cpk (CustomerProvidedEncryptionKey) – Encrypts the data on the service-side with the given key. Use of customer-provided keys must be done over HTTPS. As the encryption key itself is provided in the request, a secure connection must be established to transfer the key.
max_concurrency (int) – The number of parallel connections with which to download.
encoding (str) – Encoding to decode the downloaded bytes. Default is None, i.e. no decoding.
timeout (int) – The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds. This method may make multiple calls to the Azure service and the timeout will apply to each call individually.

Returns

A streaming object (StorageStreamDownloader)

Return type

StorageStreamDownloader

Creates a new blob from a data source with automatic chunking.

Parameters

name (str or BlobProperties) – The blob with which to interact. If specified, this value will override a blob value specified in the blob URL.
data – The blob data to upload.
blob_type (BlobType) – The type of the blob. This can be either BlockBlob, PageBlob or AppendBlob. The default value is BlockBlob.

metadata (dict(str, str)) – Name-value pairs associated with the blob as metadata.

Keyword Arguments

overwrite (bool) – Whether the blob to be uploaded should overwrite the current data. If True, upload_blob will overwrite the existing data. If set to False, the operation will fail with ResourceExistsError. The exception to the above is with Append blob types: if set to False and the data already exists, an error will not be raised and the data will be appended to the existing blob. If set overwrite=True, then the existing append blob will be deleted, and a new one created. Defaults to False.
content_settings (ContentSettings) – ContentSettings object used to set blob properties. Used to set content type, encoding, language, disposition, md5, and cache control.
validate_content (bool) – If true, calculates an MD5 hash for each chunk of the blob. The storage service checks the hash of the content that has arrived with the hash that was sent. This is primarily valuable for detecting bitflips on the wire if using http instead of https, as https (the default), will already validate. Note that this MD5 hash is not stored with the blob. Also note that if enabled, the memory-efficient upload algorithm will not be used, because computing the MD5 hash requires buffering entire blocks, and doing so defeats the purpose of the memory-efficient algorithm.

match_condition (MatchConditions) – The match condition to use upon the etag.

:keyword str if_tags_match_condition: Specify a SQL where clause on blob tags to operate only on blob with a matching value. eg. “”tagname”=’my tag’”

New in version 12.4.0.

Keyword Arguments

timeout (int) – The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds. This method may make multiple calls to the Azure service and the timeout will apply to each call individually.
premium_page_blob_tier (PremiumPageBlobTier) – A page blob tier value to set the blob to. The tier correlates to the size of the blob and number of allowed IOPS. This is only applicable to page blobs on premium storage accounts.

maxsize_condition (int) – Optional conditional header. The max length in bytes permitted for the append blob. If the Append Block operation would cause the blob to exceed that limit or if the blob size is already greater than the value specified in this header, the request will fail with MaxBlobSizeConditionNotMet error (HTTP status code 412 - Precondition Failed).
max_concurrency (int) – Maximum number of parallel connections to use when the blob size exceeds 64MB.
cpk (CustomerProvidedEncryptionKey) – Encrypts the data on the service-side with the given key. Use of customer-provided keys must be done over HTTPS. As the encryption key itself is provided in the request, a secure connection must be established to transfer the key.
encryption_scope (str) –
A predefined encryption scope used to encrypt the data on the service. An encryption scope can be created using the Management API and referenced here by name. If a default encryption scope has been defined at the container, this value will override it if the container-level scope is configured to allow overrides. Otherwise an error will be raised.

New in version 12.2.0.
encoding (str) – Defaults to UTF-8.

append_block(data: Union[AnyStr, Iterable[AnyStr], IO[AnyStr]], length: Optional[int] = None, **kwargs) → Dict[str, Union[str, datetime, int]][source]¶

Commits a new block of data to the end of the existing append blob.

Parameters

data (bytes or str or Iterable) – Content of the block. This can be bytes, text, an iterable or a file-like object.
length (int) – Size of the block in bytes.

Keyword Arguments

validate_content (bool) – If true, calculates an MD5 hash of the block content. The storage service checks the hash of the content that has arrived with the hash that was sent. This is primarily valuable for detecting bitflips on the wire if using http instead of https, as https (the default), will already validate. Note that this MD5 hash is not stored with the blob.
maxsize_condition (int) – Optional conditional header. The max length in bytes permitted for the append blob. If the Append Block operation would cause the blob to exceed that limit or if the blob size is already greater than the value specified in this header, the request will fail with MaxBlobSizeConditionNotMet error (HTTP status code 412 - Precondition Failed).
appendpos_condition (int) – Optional conditional header, used only for the Append Block operation. A number indicating the byte offset to compare. Append Block will succeed only if the append position is equal to this number. If it is not, the request will fail with the AppendPositionConditionNotMet error (HTTP status code 412 - Precondition Failed).
lease (BlobLeaseClient or str) – Required if the blob has an active lease. Value can be a BlobLeaseClient object or the lease ID as a string.
if_modified_since (datetime) – A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has been modified since the specified time.
if_unmodified_since (datetime) – A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has not been modified since the specified date/time.
etag (str) – An ETag value, or the wildcard character (*). Used to check if the resource has changed, and act according to the condition specified by the match_condition parameter.
match_condition (MatchConditions) – The match condition to use upon the etag.

:keyword str if_tags_match_condition: Specify a SQL where clause on blob tags to operate only on blob with a matching value. eg. “”tagname”=’my tag’”

New in version 12.4.0.

Keyword Arguments

encoding (str) – Defaults to UTF-8.
cpk (CustomerProvidedEncryptionKey) – Encrypts the data on the service-side with the given key. Use of customer-provided keys must be done over HTTPS. As the encryption key itself is provided in the request, a secure connection must be established to transfer the key.
encryption_scope (str) –
A predefined encryption scope used to encrypt the data on the service. An encryption scope can be created using the Management API and referenced here by name. If a default encryption scope has been defined at the container, this value will override it if the container-level scope is configured to allow overrides. Otherwise an error will be raised.

# Get the snapshot ID
print(snapshot_blob.get('snapshot'))

delete_blob(delete_snapshots: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → None [source]¶

Marks the specified blob for deletion.

The blob is later deleted during garbage collection. Note that in order to delete a blob, you must delete all of its snapshots. You can delete both at the same time with the delete_blob() operation.

If a delete retention policy is enabled for the service, then this operation soft deletes the blob and retains the blob for a specified number of days. After the specified number of days, the blob’s data is removed from the service during garbage collection. Soft deleted blob is accessible through list_blobs() specifying include=[‘deleted’] option. Soft-deleted blob can be restored using undelete() operation.

download_blob(offset: Optional[int] = None, length: Optional[int] = None, **kwargs: Any) → azure.storage.blob._download.StorageStreamDownloader[source]¶

Downloads a blob to the StorageStreamDownloader. The readall() method must be used to read all the content or readinto() must be used to download the blob into a stream.

Parameters

offset (int) – Start of byte range to use for downloading a section of the blob. Must be set if length is provided.
length (int) – Number of bytes to read from the stream. This is optional, but should be supplied for optimal performance.

Keyword Arguments

version_id (str) –
The version id parameter is an opaque DateTime value that, when present, specifies the version of the blob to download.

If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has been modified since the specified time.
if_unmodified_since (datetime) – A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has not been modified since the specified date/time.
etag (str) – An ETag value, or the wildcard character (*). Used to check if the resource has changed, and act according to the condition specified by the match_condition parameter.
match_condition (MatchConditions) – The match condition to use upon the etag.

:keyword str if_tags_match_condition: Specify a SQL where clause on blob tags to operate only on blob with a matching value. eg. “”tagname”=’my tag’”

New in version 12.4.0.

Keyword Arguments

cpk (CustomerProvidedEncryptionKey) – Encrypts the data on the service-side with the given key. Use of customer-provided keys must be done over HTTPS. As the encryption key itself is provided in the request, a secure connection must be established to transfer the key.
max_concurrency (int) – The number of parallel connections with which to download.
encoding (str) – Encoding to decode the downloaded bytes. Default is None, i.e. no decoding.
timeout (int) – The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds. This method may make multiple calls to the Azure service and the timeout will apply to each call individually.

Returns

A streaming object (StorageStreamDownloader)

Return type

StorageStreamDownloader

Returns

Blob property dict.

Return type

dict[str, Any]

start_copy_from_url(source_url: str, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, incremental_copy: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → Dict[str, Union[str, datetime]][source]¶

Copies a blob asynchronously.

This operation returns a copy operation object that can be used to wait on the completion of the operation, as well as check status or abort the copy operation. The Blob service copies blobs on a best-effort basis.

The source blob for a copy operation may be a block blob, an append blob, or a page blob. If the destination blob already exists, it must be of the same blob type as the source blob. Any existing destination blob will be overwritten. The destination blob cannot be modified while a copy operation is in progress.

When copying from a page blob, the Blob service creates a destination page blob of the source blob’s length, initially containing all zeroes. Then the source page ranges are enumerated, and non-empty ranges are copied.

For a block blob or an append blob, the Blob service creates a committed blob of zero length before returning from this operation. When copying from a block blob, all committed blocks and their block IDs are copied. Uncommitted blocks are not copied. At the end of the copy operation, the destination blob will have the same committed block count as the source.

When copying from an append blob, all committed blocks are copied. At the end of the copy operation, the destination blob will have the same committed block count as the source.

For all blob types, you can call status() on the returned polling object to check the status of the copy operation, or wait() to block until the operation is complete. The final blob will be committed when the copy completes.

Parameters

source_url (str) –
A URL of up to 2 KB in length that specifies a file or blob. The value should be URL-encoded as it would appear in a request URI. If the source is in another account, the source must either be public or must be authenticated via a shared access signature. If the source is public, no authentication is required. Examples: https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob

https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob?snapshot=<DateTime>

https://otheraccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob?sastoken
metadata (dict(str, str)) – Name-value pairs associated with the blob as metadata. If no name-value pairs are specified, the operation will copy the metadata from the source blob or file to the destination blob. If one or more name-value pairs are specified, the destination blob is created with the specified metadata, and metadata is not copied from the source blob or file.
incremental_copy (bool) – Copies the snapshot of the source page blob to a destination page blob. The snapshot is copied such that only the differential changes between the previously copied snapshot are transferred to the destination. The copied snapshots are complete copies of the original snapshot and can be read or copied from as usual. Defaults to False.

Keyword Arguments

tags (dict(str, str)) –
Name-value pairs associated with the blob as tag. Tags are case-sensitive. The tag set may contain at most 10 tags. Tag keys must be between 1 and 128 characters, and tag values must be between 0 and 256 characters. Valid tag key and value characters include: lowercase and uppercase letters, digits (0-9), space (` `), plus (+), minus (-), period (.), solidus (/), colon (:), equals (=), underscore (_)

New in version 12.4.0.
source_if_modified_since (datetime) – A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this conditional header to copy the blob only if the source blob has been modified since the specified date/time.
source_if_unmodified_since (datetime) – A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this conditional header to copy the blob only if the source blob has not been modified since the specified date/time.

Keyword Arguments: timeout (int) – The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds.
Return type: None

Example:

Undeleting a blob.¶

# Undelete the blob before the retention policy expires
blob_client.undelete_blob()

upload_blob(data: Union[Iterable[AnyStr], IO[AnyStr]], blob_type: str = <BlobType.BlockBlob: 'BlockBlob'>, length: Optional[int] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, **kwargs) → Any[source]¶

Creates a new blob from a data source with automatic chunking.

Parameters

data – The blob data to upload.
blob_type (BlobType) – The type of the blob. This can be either BlockBlob, PageBlob or AppendBlob. The default value is BlockBlob.
length (int) – Number of bytes to read from the stream. This is optional, but should be supplied for optimal performance.
metadata (dict(str, str)) – Name-value pairs associated with the blob as metadata.

Keyword Arguments

tags (dict(str, str)) –
Name-value pairs associated with the blob as tag. Tags are case-sensitive. The tag set may contain at most 10 tags. Tag keys must be between 1 and 128 characters, and tag values must be between 0 and 256 characters. Valid tag key and value characters include: lowercase and uppercase letters, digits (0-9), space (` `), plus (+), minus (-), period (.), solidus (/), colon (:), equals (=), underscore (_)

New in version 12.4.0.
overwrite (bool) – Whether the blob to be uploaded should overwrite the current data. If True, upload_blob will overwrite the existing data. If set to False, the operation will fail with ResourceExistsError. The exception to the above is with Append blob types: if set to False and the data already exists, an error will not be raised and the data will be appended to the existing blob. If set overwrite=True, then the existing append blob will be deleted, and a new one created. Defaults to False.
content_settings (ContentSettings) – ContentSettings object used to set blob properties. Used to set content type, encoding, language, disposition, md5, and cache control.
validate_content (bool) – If true, calculates an MD5 hash for each chunk of the blob. The storage service checks the hash of the content that has arrived with the hash that was sent. This is primarily valuable for detecting bitflips on the wire if using http instead of https, as https (the default), will already validate. Note that this MD5 hash is not stored with the blob. Also note that if enabled, the memory-efficient upload algorithm will not be used because computing the MD5 hash requires buffering entire blocks, and doing so defeats the purpose of the memory-efficient algorithm.
lease (BlobLeaseClient or str) – Required if the blob has an active lease. If specified, upload_blob only succeeds if the blob’s lease is active and matches this ID. Value can be a BlobLeaseClient object or the lease ID as a string.
if_modified_since (datetime) – A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has been modified since the specified time.
if_unmodified_since (datetime) – A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has not been modified since the specified date/time.
etag (str) – An ETag value, or the wildcard character (*). Used to check if the resource has changed, and act according to the condition specified by the match_condition parameter.
match_condition (MatchConditions) – The match condition to use upon the etag.

:keyword str if_tags_match_condition: Specify a SQL where clause on blob tags to operate only on blob with a matching value. eg. “”tagname”=’my tag’”

New in version 12.4.0.

Keyword Arguments

premium_page_blob_tier (PremiumPageBlobTier) – A page blob tier value to set the blob to. The tier correlates to the size of the blob and number of allowed IOPS. This is only applicable to page blobs on premium storage accounts.
standard_blob_tier (StandardBlobTier) – A standard blob tier value to set the blob to. For this version of the library, this is only applicable to block blobs on standard storage accounts.
maxsize_condition (int) – Optional conditional header. The max length in bytes permitted for the append blob. If the Append Block operation would cause the blob to exceed that limit or if the blob size is already greater than the value specified in this header, the request will fail with MaxBlobSizeConditionNotMet error (HTTP status code 412 - Precondition Failed).
max_concurrency (int) – Maximum number of parallel connections to use when the blob size exceeds 64MB.
cpk (CustomerProvidedEncryptionKey) – Encrypts the data on the service-side with the given key. Use of customer-provided keys must be done over HTTPS. As the encryption key itself is provided in the request, a secure connection must be established to transfer the key.
encryption_scope (str) –
A predefined encryption scope used to encrypt the data on the service. An encryption scope can be created using the Management API and referenced here by name. If a default encryption scope has been defined at the container, this value will override it if the container-level scope is configured to allow overrides. Otherwise an error will be raised.

New in version 12.2.0.
encoding (str) – Defaults to UTF-8.
timeout (int) – The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds. This method may make multiple calls to the Azure service and the timeout will apply to each call individually.

Returns

Blob-updated property dict (Etag and last modified)

Return type

dict[str, Any]

Return type: None

break_lease(lease_break_period: Optional[int] = None, **kwargs: Any) → int [source]¶

Break the lease, if the container or blob has an active lease.

Once a lease is broken, it cannot be renewed. Any authorized request can break the lease; the request is not required to specify a matching lease ID. When a lease is broken, the lease break period is allowed to elapse, during which time no lease operation except break and release can be performed on the container or blob. When a lease is successfully broken, the response indicates the interval in seconds until a new lease can be acquired.

Parameters

lease_break_period (int) – This is the proposed duration of seconds that the lease should continue before it is broken, between 0 and 60 seconds. This break period is only used if it is shorter than the time remaining on the lease. If longer, the time remaining on the lease is used. A new lease will not be available before the break period has expired, but the lease may be held for longer than the break period. If this header does not appear with a break operation, a fixed-duration lease breaks after the remaining lease period elapses, and an infinite lease breaks immediately.

Keyword Arguments

class azure.storage.blob.AccessPolicy(permission=None, expiry=None, start=None)[source]¶

Access Policy class used by the set and get access policy methods in each service.

A stored access policy can specify the start time, expiry time, and permissions for the Shared Access Signatures with which it’s associated. Depending on how you want to control access to your resource, you can specify all of these parameters within the stored access policy, and omit them from the URL for the Shared Access Signature. Doing so permits you to modify the associated signature’s behavior at any time, as well as to revoke it. Or you can specify one or more of the access policy parameters within the stored access policy, and the others on the URL. Finally, you can specify all of the parameters on the URL. In this case, you can use the stored access policy to revoke the signature, but not to modify its behavior.

Together the Shared Access Signature and the stored access policy must include all fields required to authenticate the signature. If any required fields are missing, the request will fail. Likewise, if a field is specified both in the Shared Access Signature URL and in the stored access policy, the request will fail with status code 400 (Bad Request).

Parameters

permission (str or ContainerSasPermissions) – The permissions associated with the shared access signature. The user is restricted to operations allowed by the permissions. Required unless an id is given referencing a stored access policy which contains this field. This field must be omitted if it has been specified in an associated stored access policy.
expiry (datetime or str) – The time at which the shared access signature becomes invalid. Required unless an id is given referencing a stored access policy which contains this field. This field must be omitted if it has been specified in an associated stored access policy. Azure will always convert values to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC.
start (datetime or str) – The time at which the shared access signature becomes valid. If omitted, start time for this call is assumed to be the time when the storage service receives the request. Azure will always convert values to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC.

as_dict(keep_readonly=True, key_transformer=<function attribute_transformer>, **kwargs)¶

class azure.storage.blob.CustomerProvidedEncryptionKey(key_value, key_hash)[source]¶

All data in Azure Storage is encrypted at-rest using an account-level encryption key. In versions 2018-06-17 and newer, you can manage the key used to encrypt blob contents and application metadata per-blob by providing an AES-256 encryption key in requests to the storage service.

When you use a customer-provided key, Azure Storage does not manage or persist your key. When writing data to a blob, the provided key is used to encrypt your data before writing it to disk. A SHA-256 hash of the encryption key is written alongside the blob contents, and is used to verify that all subsequent operations against the blob use the same encryption key. This hash cannot be used to retrieve the encryption key or decrypt the contents of the blob. When reading a blob, the provided key is used to decrypt your data after reading it from disk. In both cases, the provided encryption key is securely discarded as soon as the encryption or decryption process completes.

Parameters

key_value (str) – Base64-encoded AES-256 encryption key value.
key_hash (str) – Base64-encoded SHA256 of the encryption key.

Variables

algorithm (str) – Specifies the algorithm to use when encrypting data using the given key. Must be AES256.

blob_url (str) – The full URI to the blob. This can also include a SAS token.
data (bytes or str or Iterable) – The data to upload. This can be bytes, text, an iterable or a file-like object.
credential – The credentials with which to authenticate. This is optional if the blob URL already has a SAS token. The value can be a SAS token string, an account shared access key, or an instance of a TokenCredentials class from azure.identity. If the URL already has a SAS token, specifying an explicit credential will take priority.

Keyword Arguments

overwrite (bool) – Whether the blob to be uploaded should overwrite the current data. If True, upload_blob_to_url will overwrite any existing data. If set to False, the operation will fail with a ResourceExistsError.
max_concurrency (int) – The number of parallel connections with which to download.
length (int) – Number of bytes to read from the stream. This is optional, but should be supplied for optimal performance.
metadata (dict(str,str)) – Name-value pairs associated with the blob as metadata.
validate_content (bool) – If true, calculates an MD5 hash for each chunk of the blob. The storage service checks the hash of the content that has arrived with the hash that was sent. This is primarily valuable for detecting bitflips on the wire if using http instead of https as https (the default) will already validate. Note that this MD5 hash is not stored with the blob. Also note that if enabled, the memory-efficient upload algorithm will not be used, because computing the MD5 hash requires buffering entire blocks, and doing so defeats the purpose of the memory-efficient algorithm.
encoding (str) – Encoding to use if text is supplied as input. Defaults to UTF-8.

Returns

Blob-updated property dict (Etag and last modified)

Return type

dict(str, Any)

azure.storage.blob.download_blob_from_url(blob_url: str, output: str, credential: Optional[Any] = None, **kwargs) → None [source]¶

Download the contents of a blob to a local file or stream.

Parameters

blob_url (str) – The full URI to the blob. This can also include a SAS token.
output (str or writable stream.) – Where the data should be downloaded to. This could be either a file path to write to, or an open IO handle to write to.
credential – The credentials with which to authenticate. This is optional if the blob URL already has a SAS token or the blob is public. The value can be a SAS token string, an account shared access key, or an instance of a TokenCredentials class from azure.identity. If the URL already has a SAS token, specifying an explicit credential will take priority.

Keyword Arguments

overwrite (bool) – Whether the local file should be overwritten if it already exists. The default value is False - in which case a ValueError will be raised if the file already exists. If set to True, an attempt will be made to write to the existing file. If a stream handle is passed in, this value is ignored.
max_concurrency (int) – The number of parallel connections with which to download.
offset (int) – Start of byte range to use for downloading a section of the blob. Must be set if length is provided.
length (int) – Number of bytes to read from the stream. This is optional, but should be supplied for optimal performance.
validate_content (bool) – If true, calculates an MD5 hash for each chunk of the blob. The storage service checks the hash of the content that has arrived with the hash that was sent. This is primarily valuable for detecting bitflips on the wire if using http instead of https as https (the default) will already validate. Note that this MD5 hash is not stored with the blob. Also note that if enabled, the memory-efficient upload algorithm will not be used, because computing the MD5 hash requires buffering entire blocks, and doing so defeats the purpose of the memory-efficient algorithm.

Return type

None

azure.storage.blob.generate_account_sas(account_name: str, account_key: str, resource_types: Union[ResourceTypes, str], permission: Union[AccountSasPermissions, str], expiry: Optional[Union[datetime, str]], start: Optional[Union[datetime, str]] = None, ip: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs: Any) → str [source]¶

Generates a shared access signature for the blob service.

Use the returned signature with the credential parameter of any BlobServiceClient, ContainerClient or BlobClient.

Parameters

account_name (str) – The storage account name used to generate the shared access signature.
account_key (str) – The account key, also called shared key or access key, to generate the shared access signature.
resource_types (str or ResourceTypes) – Specifies the resource types that are accessible with the account SAS.
permission (str or AccountSasPermissions) – The permissions associated with the shared access signature. The user is restricted to operations allowed by the permissions. Required unless an id is given referencing a stored access policy which contains this field. This field must be omitted if it has been specified in an associated stored access policy.
expiry (datetime or str) – The time at which the shared access signature becomes invalid. Required unless an id is given referencing a stored access policy which contains this field. This field must be omitted if it has been specified in an associated stored access policy. Azure will always convert values to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC.
start (datetime or str) – The time at which the shared access signature becomes valid. If omitted, start time for this call is assumed to be the time when the storage service receives the request. Azure will always convert values to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC.
ip (str) – Specifies an IP address or a range of IP addresses from which to accept requests. If the IP address from which the request originates does not match the IP address or address range specified on the SAS token, the request is not authenticated. For example, specifying ip=168.1.5.65 or ip=168.1.5.60-168.1.5.70 on the SAS restricts the request to those IP addresses.

Keyword Arguments

protocol (str) – Specifies the protocol permitted for a request made. The default value is https.

Returns

A Shared Access Signature (sas) token.

Return type

str

Example:

account_key (str) – The account key, also called shared key or access key, to generate the shared access signature. Either account_key or user_delegation_key must be specified.
user_delegation_key (UserDelegationKey) – Instead of an account shared key, the user could pass in a user delegation key. A user delegation key can be obtained from the service by authenticating with an AAD identity; this can be accomplished by calling get_user_delegation_key(). When present, the SAS is signed with the user delegation key instead.
permission (str or ContainerSasPermissions) – The permissions associated with the shared access signature. The user is restricted to operations allowed by the permissions. Permissions must be ordered read, write, delete, list. Required unless an id is given referencing a stored access policy which contains this field. This field must be omitted if it has been specified in an associated stored access policy.
expiry (datetime or str) – The time at which the shared access signature becomes invalid. Required unless an id is given referencing a stored access policy which contains this field. This field must be omitted if it has been specified in an associated stored access policy. Azure will always convert values to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC.
start (datetime or str) – The time at which the shared access signature becomes valid. If omitted, start time for this call is assumed to be the time when the storage service receives the request. Azure will always convert values to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC.
policy_id (str) – A unique value up to 64 characters in length that correlates to a stored access policy. To create a stored access policy, use set_container_access_policy().
