class azure.storage.queue.QueueClient(account_url, queue_name, credential=None, **kwargs)[source]

A client to interact with a specific Queue.

Parameters
  • account_url (str) – The URL to the storage account. In order to create a client given the full URI to the queue, use the from_queue_url() classmethod.

  • queue_name (str) – The name of the queue.

  • 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.

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.

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

  • message_encode_policy – The encoding policy to use on outgoing messages. Default is not to encode messages. Other options include TextBase64EncodePolicy, BinaryBase64EncodePolicy or None.

  • message_decode_policy – The decoding policy to use on incoming messages. Default value is not to decode messages. Other options include TextBase64DecodePolicy, BinaryBase64DecodePolicy or None.

Example:

Create the queue client with url and credential.
token_auth_queue = QueueClient.from_queue_url(
    queue_url=queue.url,
    credential=sas_token
)
clear_messages(**kwargs)[source]

Deletes all messages from the specified queue.

Keyword Arguments

timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Example:

Clears all messages.
queue.clear_messages()
close()

This method is to close the sockets opened by the client. It need not be used when using with a context manager.

create_queue(**kwargs)[source]

Creates a new queue in the storage account.

If a queue with the same name already exists, the operation fails with a ResourceExistsError.

Keyword Arguments
  • metadata (dict(str,str)) – A dict containing name-value pairs to associate with the queue as metadata. Note that metadata names preserve the case with which they were created, but are case-insensitive when set or read.

  • timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Returns

None or the result of cls(response)

Return type

None

Raises

StorageErrorException

Example:

Create a queue.
queue.create_queue()
delete_message(message, pop_receipt=None, **kwargs)[source]

Deletes the specified message.

Normally after a client retrieves a message with the receive messages operation, the client is expected to process and delete the message. To delete the message, you must have the message object itself, or two items of data: id and pop_receipt. The id is returned from the previous receive_messages operation. The pop_receipt is returned from the most recent receive_messages() or update_message() operation. In order for the delete_message operation to succeed, the pop_receipt specified on the request must match the pop_receipt returned from the receive_messages() or update_message() operation.

Parameters
Keyword Arguments

timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Example:

Delete a message.
# Get the message at the front of the queue
msg = next(queue.receive_messages())

# Delete the specified message
queue.delete_message(msg)
delete_queue(**kwargs)[source]

Deletes the specified queue and any messages it contains.

When a queue is successfully deleted, it is immediately marked for deletion and is no longer accessible to clients. The queue is later removed from the Queue service during garbage collection.

Note that deleting a queue is likely to take at least 40 seconds to complete. If an operation is attempted against the queue while it was being deleted, an HttpResponseError will be thrown.

Keyword Arguments

timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Return type

None

Example:

Delete a queue.
queue.delete_queue()
classmethod from_connection_string(conn_str, queue_name, credential=None, **kwargs)[source]

Create QueueClient from a Connection String.

Parameters
  • conn_str (str) – A connection string to an Azure Storage account.

  • queue_name (str) – The queue name.

  • credential – The credentials with which to authenticate. This is optional if the account URL already has a SAS token, or the connection string already has shared access key values. The value can be a SAS token string, an account shared access key, or an instance of a TokenCredentials class from azure.identity.

Returns

A queue client.

Return type

QueueClient

Example:

Create the queue client from connection string.
from azure.storage.queue import QueueClient
queue = QueueClient.from_connection_string(self.connection_string, "myqueue1")
classmethod from_queue_url(queue_url, credential=None, **kwargs)[source]

A client to interact with a specific Queue.

Parameters
  • queue_url (str) – The full URI to the queue, including SAS token if used.

  • 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.

Returns

A queue client.

Return type

QueueClient

get_queue_access_policy(**kwargs)[source]

Returns details about any stored access policies specified on the queue that may be used with Shared Access Signatures.

Keyword Arguments

timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Returns

A dictionary of access policies associated with the queue.

Return type

dict(str, AccessPolicy)

get_queue_properties(**kwargs)[source]

Returns all user-defined metadata for the specified queue.

The data returned does not include the queue’s list of messages.

Keyword Arguments

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

Returns

User-defined metadata for the queue.

Return type

QueueProperties

Example:

Get the properties on the queue.
properties = queue.get_queue_properties().metadata
peek_messages(max_messages=None, **kwargs)[source]

Retrieves one or more messages from the front of the queue, but does not alter the visibility of the message.

Only messages that are visible may be retrieved. When a message is retrieved for the first time with a call to receive_messages(), its dequeue_count property is set to 1. If it is not deleted and is subsequently retrieved again, the dequeue_count property is incremented. The client may use this value to determine how many times a message has been retrieved. Note that a call to peek_messages does not increment the value of dequeue_count, but returns this value for the client to read.

If the key-encryption-key or resolver field is set on the local service object, the messages will be decrypted before being returned.

Parameters

max_messages (int) – A nonzero integer value that specifies the number of messages to peek from the queue, up to a maximum of 32. By default, a single message is peeked from the queue with this operation.

Keyword Arguments

timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Returns

A list of QueueMessage objects. Note that next_visible_on and pop_receipt will not be populated as peek does not pop the message and can only retrieve already visible messages.

Return type

list(QueueMessage)

Example:

Peek messages.
# Peek at one message at the front of the queue
msg = queue.peek_messages()

# Peek at the last 5 messages
messages = queue.peek_messages(max_messages=5)

# Print the last 5 messages
for message in messages:
    print(message.content)
receive_messages(**kwargs)[source]

Removes one or more messages from the front of the queue.

When a message is retrieved from the queue, the response includes the message content and a pop_receipt value, which is required to delete the message. The message is not automatically deleted from the queue, but after it has been retrieved, it is not visible to other clients for the time interval specified by the visibility_timeout parameter.

If the key-encryption-key or resolver field is set on the local service object, the messages will be decrypted before being returned.

Keyword Arguments
  • messages_per_page (int) – A nonzero integer value that specifies the number of messages to retrieve from the queue, up to a maximum of 32. If fewer are visible, the visible messages are returned. By default, a single message is retrieved from the queue with this operation.

  • visibility_timeout (int) – If not specified, the default value is 0. Specifies the new visibility timeout value, in seconds, relative to server time. The value must be larger than or equal to 0, and cannot be larger than 7 days. The visibility timeout of a message cannot be set to a value later than the expiry time. visibility_timeout should be set to a value smaller than the time-to-live value.

  • timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Returns

Returns a message iterator of dict-like Message objects.

Return type

ItemPaged[QueueMessage]

Example:

Receive messages from the queue.
# Receive messages one-by-one
messages = queue.receive_messages()
for msg in messages:
    print(msg.content)

# Receive messages by batch
messages = queue.receive_messages(messages_per_page=5)
for msg_batch in messages.by_page():
    for msg in msg_batch:
        print(msg.content)
        queue.delete_message(msg)
send_message(content, **kwargs)[source]

Adds a new message to the back of the message queue.

The visibility timeout specifies the time that the message will be invisible. After the timeout expires, the message will become visible. If a visibility timeout is not specified, the default value of 0 is used.

The message time-to-live specifies how long a message will remain in the queue. The message will be deleted from the queue when the time-to-live period expires.

If the key-encryption-key field is set on the local service object, this method will encrypt the content before uploading.

Parameters

content (obj) – Message content. Allowed type is determined by the encode_function set on the service. Default is str. The encoded message can be up to 64KB in size.

Keyword Arguments
  • visibility_timeout (int) – If not specified, the default value is 0. Specifies the new visibility timeout value, in seconds, relative to server time. The value must be larger than or equal to 0, and cannot be larger than 7 days. The visibility timeout of a message cannot be set to a value later than the expiry time. visibility_timeout should be set to a value smaller than the time-to-live value.

  • time_to_live (int) – Specifies the time-to-live interval for the message, in seconds. The time-to-live may be any positive number or -1 for infinity. If this parameter is omitted, the default time-to-live is 7 days.

  • timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Returns

A QueueMessage object. This object is also populated with the content although it is not returned from the service.

Return type

QueueMessage

Example:

Send messages.
queue.send_message(u"message1")
queue.send_message(u"message2", visibility_timeout=30)  # wait 30s before becoming visible
queue.send_message(u"message3")
queue.send_message(u"message4")
queue.send_message(u"message5")
set_queue_access_policy(signed_identifiers, **kwargs)[source]

Sets stored access policies for the queue that may be used with Shared Access Signatures.

When you set permissions for a queue, the existing permissions are replaced. To update the queue’s permissions, call get_queue_access_policy() to fetch all access policies associated with the queue, modify the access policy that you wish to change, and then call this function with the complete set of data to perform the update.

When you establish a stored access policy on a queue, it may take up to 30 seconds to take effect. During this interval, a shared access signature that is associated with the stored access policy will throw an HttpResponseError until the access policy becomes active.

Parameters

signed_identifiers (dict(str, AccessPolicy)) – SignedIdentifier access policies to associate with the queue. This may contain up to 5 elements. An empty dict will clear the access policies set on the service.

Keyword Arguments

timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Example:

Set an access policy on the queue.
# Create an access policy
from azure.storage.queue import AccessPolicy, QueueSasPermissions
access_policy = AccessPolicy()
access_policy.start = datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=1)
access_policy.expiry = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(hours=1)
access_policy.permission = QueueSasPermissions(read=True)
identifiers = {'my-access-policy-id': access_policy}

# Set the access policy
queue.set_queue_access_policy(identifiers)
set_queue_metadata(metadata=None, **kwargs)[source]

Sets user-defined metadata on the specified queue.

Metadata is associated with the queue as name-value pairs.

Parameters

metadata (dict(str, str)) – A dict containing name-value pairs to associate with the queue as metadata.

Keyword Arguments

timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Example:

Set metadata on the queue.
metadata = {'foo': 'val1', 'bar': 'val2', 'baz': 'val3'}
queue.set_queue_metadata(metadata=metadata)
update_message(message, pop_receipt=None, content=None, **kwargs)[source]

Updates the visibility timeout of a message. You can also use this operation to update the contents of a message.

This operation can be used to continually extend the invisibility of a queue message. This functionality can be useful if you want a worker role to “lease” a queue message. For example, if a worker role calls receive_messages() and recognizes that it needs more time to process a message, it can continually extend the message’s invisibility until it is processed. If the worker role were to fail during processing, eventually the message would become visible again and another worker role could process it.

If the key-encryption-key field is set on the local service object, this method will encrypt the content before uploading.

Parameters
  • message (str or QueueMessage) – The message object or id identifying the message to update.

  • pop_receipt (str) – A valid pop receipt value returned from an earlier call to the receive_messages() or update_message() operation.

  • content (obj) – Message content. Allowed type is determined by the encode_function set on the service. Default is str.

Keyword Arguments
  • visibility_timeout (int) – Specifies the new visibility timeout value, in seconds, relative to server time. The new value must be larger than or equal to 0, and cannot be larger than 7 days. The visibility timeout of a message cannot be set to a value later than the expiry time. A message can be updated until it has been deleted or has expired. The message object or message id identifying the message to update.

  • timeout (int) – The server timeout, expressed in seconds.

Returns

A QueueMessage object. For convenience, this object is also populated with the content, although it is not returned by the service.

Return type

QueueMessage

Example:

Update a message.
# Send a message
queue.send_message(u"update me")

# Receive the message
messages = queue.receive_messages()

# Update the message
list_result = next(messages)
message = queue.update_message(
    list_result.id,
    pop_receipt=list_result.pop_receipt,
    visibility_timeout=0,
    content=u"updated")

get_service_stats(**kwargs)[source]

Retrieves statistics related to replication for the Queue 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 queue service stats.

Return type

Dict[str, Any]

class azure.storage.queue.QueueSasPermissions(read=False, add=False, update=False, process=False)[source]

QueueSasPermissions class to be used with the generate_queue_sas() function and for the AccessPolicies used with set_queue_access_policy().

Parameters
  • read (bool) – Read metadata and properties, including message count. Peek at messages.

  • add (bool) – Add messages to the queue.

  • update (bool) – Update messages in the queue. Note: Use the Process permission with Update so you can first get the message you want to update.

  • process (bool) – Get and delete messages from the queue.

classmethod from_string(permission)[source]

Create a QueueSasPermissions from a string.

To specify read, add, update, or process permissions you need only to include the first letter of the word in the string. E.g. For read and update permissions, you would provide a string “ru”.

Parameters

permission (str) – The string which dictates the read, add, update, or process permissions.

Returns

A QueueSasPermissions object

Return type

QueueSasPermissions

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

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

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) – 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)

Return a dict that can be JSONify using json.dump.

Advanced usage might optionaly use a callback as parameter:

Key is the attribute name used in Python. Attr_desc is a dict of metadata. Currently contains ‘type’ with the msrest type and ‘key’ with the RestAPI encoded key. Value is the current value in this object.

The string returned will be used to serialize the key. If the return type is a list, this is considered hierarchical result dict.

DeserializationError if something went wrong

classmethod enable_additional_properties_sending()
classmethod from_dict(data, key_extractors=None, content_type=None)

Parse a dict using given key extractor return a model.

By default consider key extractors (rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor, attribute_key_case_insensitive_extractor and last_rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor)

Parameters
  • data (dict) – A dict using RestAPI structure

  • content_type (str) – JSON by default, set application/xml if XML.

Returns

An instance of this model

Raises

DeserializationError if something went wrong

classmethod is_xml_model()
serialize(keep_readonly=False, **kwargs)

Return the JSON that would be sent to azure from this model.

This is an alias to as_dict(full_restapi_key_transformer, keep_readonly=False).

If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.

Parameters

keep_readonly (bool) – If you want to serialize the readonly attributes

Returns

A dict JSON compatible object

Return type

dict

validate()

Validate this model recursively and return a list of ValidationError.

Returns

A list of validation error

Return type

list

azure.storage.queue.generate_account_sas(account_name, account_key, resource_types, permission, expiry, start=None, ip=None, **kwargs)[source]

Generates a shared access signature for the queue service.

Use the returned signature with the credential parameter of any Queue Service.

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 (ResourceTypes) – Specifies the resource types that are accessible with the account SAS.

  • permission (AccountSasPermissions) – The permissions associated with the shared access signature. The user is restricted to operations allowed by the permissions.

  • 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 sip=168.1.5.65 or sip=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

azure.storage.queue.generate_queue_sas(account_name, queue_name, account_key, permission=None, expiry=None, start=None, policy_id=None, ip=None, **kwargs)[source]

Generates a shared access signature for a queue.

Use the returned signature with the credential parameter of any Queue Service.

Parameters
  • account_name (str) – The storage account name used to generate the shared access signature.

  • queue_name (str) – The name of the queue.

  • account_key (str) – The account key, also called shared key or access key, to generate the shared access signature.

  • permission (QueueSasPermissions) – The permissions associated with the shared access signature. The user is restricted to operations allowed by the permissions. Required unless a policy_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 a policy_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_queue_access_policy().

  • 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 sip=’168.1.5.65’ or sip=’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:

Generate a sas token.
from azure.storage.queue import generate_queue_sas
sas_token = generate_queue_sas(
    queue.account_name,
    queue.queue_name,
    queue.credential.account_key,
    policy_id='my-access-policy-id'
)
