azure.storage.blob.aio package

class azure.storage.blob.aio.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.

  • secondary_hostname (str) – The hostname of the secondary endpoint.

  • max_block_size (int) – The maximum chunk size for uploading a block blob in chunks. Defaults to 4*1024*1024, or 4MB.

  • max_single_put_size (int) – If the blob size is less than or equal max_single_put_size, then the blob will be uploaded with only one http PUT request. If the blob size is larger than max_single_put_size, the blob will be uploaded in chunks. Defaults to 64*1024*1024, or 64MB.

  • min_large_block_upload_threshold (int) – The minimum chunk size required to use the memory efficient algorithm when uploading a block blob. Defaults to 4*1024*1024+1.

  • use_byte_buffer (bool) – Use a byte buffer for block blob uploads. Defaults to False.

  • max_page_size (int) – The maximum chunk size for uploading a page blob. Defaults to 4*1024*1024, or 4MB.

  • max_single_get_size (int) – The maximum size for a blob to be downloaded in a single call, the exceeded part will be downloaded in chunks (could be parallel). Defaults to 32*1024*1024, or 32MB.

  • max_chunk_get_size (int) – The maximum chunk size used for downloading a blob. Defaults to 4*1024*1024, or 4MB.

async 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.

await container_client.delete_blobs("my_blob1", "my_blob2")

# Delete multiple blobs by properties iterator
my_blobs = container_client.list_blobs(name_starts_with="my_blob")
await container_client.delete_blobs(*[b async for b in my_blobs])  # async for in list comprehension after 3.6 only
async delete_container(**kwargs: Any)None[source]

Marks the specified container for deletion. The container and any blobs contained within it are later deleted during garbage collection.

Keyword Arguments
  • lease (BlobLeaseClient or str) – If specified, delete_container only succeeds if the container’s lease is active and matches this ID. Required if the container has an active lease.

  • 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.

  • timeout (int) – The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds.

Return type

None

async 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

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.

  • 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
  • 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.

  • 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.

Returns

A BlobClient to interact with the newly uploaded blob.

New in version 12.4.0.

Keyword Arguments

timeout (int) – The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds.

Returns

A BlobLeaseClient object.

Return type

BlobLeaseClient

Example:

Acquiring a lease on a blob.
# Get the blob client
blob_client = blob_service_client.get_blob_client("leasemyblobscontainerasync", "my_blob")

async 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 – Content of the block.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

A block blob’s tier determines Hot/Cool/Archive storage type. This operation does not update the blob’s ETag.

Parameters

standard_blob_tier (str or StandardBlobTier) – Indicates the tier to be set on the blob. Options include ‘Hot’, ‘Cool’, ‘Archive’. The hot tier is optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently. The cool storage tier is optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least a month. The archive tier is optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least six months with flexible latency requirements.

Keyword Arguments

rehydrate_priority (RehydratePriority) – Indicates the priority with which to rehydrate an archived blob

: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.

  • 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.

Return type

None

async stage_block(block_id: str, data: Union[Iterable[AnyStr], IO[AnyStr]], length: Optional[int] = None, **kwargs)None[source]

Creates a new block to be committed as part of a blob.

Parameters
  • block_id (str) – A valid Base64 string value that identifies the block. Prior to encoding, the string must be less than or equal to 64 bytes in size. For a given blob, the length of the value specified for the block_id parameter must be the same size for each block.

  • data – The blob data.

  • length (int) – Size of the block.

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. Value can be a BlobLeaseClient object or the lease ID as a string.

  • 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.

Creates a new block to be committed as part of a blob where the contents are read from a URL.

Parameters
  • block_id (str) – A valid Base64 string value that identifies the block. Prior to encoding, the string must be less than or equal to 64 bytes in size. For a given blob, the length of the value specified for the block_id parameter must be the same size for each block.

  • source_url (str) – The URL.

  • source_offset (int) – Start of byte range to use for the block. Must be set if source length is provided.

  • source_length (int) – The size of the block in bytes.

  • source_content_md5 (bytearray) – Specify the md5 calculated for the range of bytes that must be read from the copy source.

Keyword Arguments
  • 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.

  • 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.

async start_copy_from_url(source_url: str, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, incremental_copy: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → Any[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 (_)

  • 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.

class azure.storage.blob.aio.BlobLeaseClient(client: Union[BlobClient, ContainerClient], lease_id: Optional[str] = None)[source]

Creates a new BlobLeaseClient.

This client provides lease operations on a BlobClient or ContainerClient.

Variables
  • id (str) – The ID of the lease currently being maintained. This will be None if no lease has yet been acquired.

  • etag (str) – The ETag of the lease currently being maintained. This will be None if no lease has yet been acquired or modified.

async acquire(lease_duration: int = - 1, **kwargs: Any)None[source]

Requests a new lease.

If the container does not have an active lease, the Blob service creates a lease on the container and returns a new lease ID.

Parameters

lease_duration (int) – Specifies the duration of the lease, in seconds, or negative one (-1) for a lease that never expires. A non-infinite lease can be between 15 and 60 seconds. A lease duration cannot be changed using renew or change. Default is -1 (infinite lease).

Keyword Arguments
  • 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.

None

async 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
  • 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.

class azure.storage.blob.aio.ExponentialRetry(initial_backoff=15, increment_base=3, retry_total=3, retry_to_secondary=False, random_jitter_range=3, **kwargs)[source]

Exponential retry.

Constructs an Exponential retry object. The initial_backoff is used for the first retry. Subsequent retries are retried after initial_backoff + increment_power^retry_count seconds. For example, by default the first retry occurs after 15 seconds, the second after (15+3^1) = 18 seconds, and the third after (15+3^2) = 24 seconds.

Parameters
  • initial_backoff (int) – The initial backoff interval, in seconds, for the first retry.

  • increment_base (int) – The base, in seconds, to increment the initial_backoff by after the first retry.

  • max_attempts (int) – The maximum number of retry attempts.

  • retry_to_secondary (bool) – Whether the request should be retried to secondary, if able. This should only be enabled of RA-GRS accounts are used and potentially stale data can be handled.

  • random_jitter_range (int) – A number in seconds which indicates a range to jitter/randomize for the back-off interval. For example, a random_jitter_range of 3 results in the back-off interval x to vary between x+3 and x-3.

Return type

str

async download_to_stream(stream, max_concurrency=1)[source]

Download the contents of this blob to a stream.

Parameters

stream – The stream to download to. This can be an open file-handle, or any writable stream. The stream must be seekable if the download uses more than one parallel connection.

Returns

The properties of the downloaded blob.

Return type

Any

async readall()[source]

Download the contents of this blob.

This operation is blocking until all data is downloaded. :rtype: bytes or str

async readinto(stream)[source]

Download the contents of this blob to a stream.

Parameters

stream – The stream to download to. This can be an open file-handle, or any writable stream. The stream must be seekable if the download uses more than one parallel connection.

Returns

The number of bytes read.

Return type

int

async azure.storage.blob.aio.upload_blob_to_url(blob_url: str, data: Union[Iterable[AnyStr], IO[AnyStr]], credential: Any = None, **kwargs)dict[str, Any][source]

Upload data to a given URL

The data will be uploaded as a block blob.

Parameters
  • 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)

async azure.storage.blob.aio.download_blob_from_url(blob_url: str, output: str, credential: 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.
