BlobClient class

Definition

A client to interact with a specific blob, although that blob may not yet exist.

BlobClient(account_url, container_name, blob_name, snapshot=None, credential=None, **kwargs)

Inheritance: builtins.object

azure.storage.blob._shared.base_client.StorageAccountHostsMixin

BlobClient

Parameters

account_url: str

The URI to the storage account. In order to create a client given the full URI to the blob, use the from_blob_url(blob_url, credential=None, snapshot=None, **kwargs) classmethod.

container_name: str

The container name for the blob.

blob_name: str

The name of the blob with which to interact. If specified, this value will override a blob value specified in the blob URL.

snapshot: str

The optional blob snapshot on which to operate. This can be the snapshot ID string or the response returned from create_snapshot(metadata=None, **kwargs).

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.

Examples

Creating the BlobClient from a URL to a public blob (no auth needed).


   from azure.storage.blob import BlobClient
   blob_client = BlobClient.from_blob_url(blob_url="https://account.blob.core.windows.net/container/blob-name")

Creating the BlobClient from a SAS URL to a blob.


   from azure.storage.blob import BlobClient

   sas_url = "https://account.blob.core.windows.net/container/blob-name?sv=2015-04-05&st=2015-04-29T22%3A18%3A26Z&se=2015-04-30T02%3A23%3A26Z&sr=b&sp=rw&sip=168.1.5.60-168.1.5.70&spr=https&sig=Z%2FRHIX5Xcg0Mq2rqI3OlWTjEg2tYkboXr1P9ZUXDtkk%3D"
   blob_client = BlobClient.from_blob_url(sas_url)

Methods

abort_copy	Abort an ongoing copy operation. This will leave a destination blob with zero length and full metadata. This will raise an error if the copy operation has already ended.
acquire_lease	Requests a new lease. If the blob does not have an active lease, the Blob Service creates a lease on the blob and returns a new lease.
append_block	Commits a new block of data to the end of the existing append blob.
append_block_from_url	Creates a new block to be committed as part of a blob, where the contents are read from a source url.
clear_page	Clears a range of pages.
commit_block_list	The Commit Block List operation writes a blob by specifying the list of block IDs that make up the blob.
create_append_blob	Creates a new Append Blob.
create_page_blob	Creates a new Page Blob of the specified size.
create_snapshot	Creates a snapshot of the blob. A snapshot is a read-only version of a blob that's taken at a point in time. It can be read, copied, or deleted, but not modified. Snapshots provide a way to back up a blob as it appears at a moment in time. A snapshot of a blob has the same name as the base blob from which the snapshot is taken, with a DateTime value appended to indicate the time at which the snapshot was taken.
delete_blob	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(name_starts_with=None, include=None, *kwargs) specifying include=['deleted']* option. Soft-deleted blob can be restored using <xref:azure.storage.blob.undelete> operation.
download_blob	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.
from_blob_url	Create BlobClient from a blob url.
from_connection_string	Create BlobClient from a Connection String.
get_account_information	Gets information related to the storage account in which the blob resides. The information can also be retrieved if the user has a SAS to a container or blob. The keys in the returned dictionary include 'sku_name' and 'account_kind'.
get_blob_properties	Returns all user-defined metadata, standard HTTP properties, and system properties for the blob. It does not return the content of the blob.
get_block_list	The Get Block List operation retrieves the list of blocks that have been uploaded as part of a block blob.
get_page_range_diff_for_managed_disk	Returns the list of valid page ranges for a managed disk or snapshot. Note This operation is only available for managed disk accounts. New in version 12.2.0: This operation was introduced in API version '2019-07-07'.
get_page_ranges	Returns the list of valid page ranges for a Page Blob or snapshot of a page blob.
resize_blob	Resizes a page blob to the specified size. If the specified value is less than the current size of the blob, then all pages above the specified value are cleared.
set_blob_metadata	Sets user-defined metadata for the blob as one or more name-value pairs.
set_http_headers	Sets system properties on the blob. If one property is set for the content_settings, all properties will be overridden.
set_premium_page_blob_tier	Sets the page blob tiers on the blob. This API is only supported for page blobs on premium accounts.
set_sequence_number	Sets the blob sequence number.
set_standard_blob_tier	This operation sets the tier on a block blob. A block blob's tier determines Hot/Cool/Archive storage type. This operation does not update the blob's ETag.
stage_block	Creates a new block to be committed as part of a blob.
stage_block_from_url	Creates a new block to be committed as part of a blob where the contents are read from a URL.
start_copy_from_url	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.
undelete_blob	Restores soft-deleted blobs or snapshots. Operation will only be successful if used within the specified number of days set in the delete retention policy.
upload_blob	Creates a new blob from a data source with automatic chunking.
upload_page	The Upload Pages operation writes a range of pages to a page blob.
upload_pages_from_url	The Upload Pages operation writes a range of pages to a page blob where the contents are read from a URL.

start_copy_from_url

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

Required

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=

https://otheraccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob?sastoken

metadata: dict(str, str)

Required

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

Required

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.

Returns

A dictionary of copy properties (etag, last_modified, copy_id, copy_status).

Return type

dict[str, str

offset: int

Required

Start of byte range to use for writing to a section of the blob. Pages must be aligned with 512-byte boundaries, the start offset must be a modulus of 512 and the length must be a modulus of 512.

length: int

Required

Number of bytes to use for writing to a section of the blob. Pages must be aligned with 512-byte boundaries, the start offset must be a modulus of 512 and the length must be a modulus of 512.

Returns

Blob-updated property dict (Etag and last modified).

Return type

dict(str, Any)

upload_pages_from_url

The Upload Pages operation writes a range of pages to a page blob where the contents are read from a URL.

upload_pages_from_url(source_url, offset, length, source_offset, **kwargs)

Parameters

source_url: str

Required

The URL of the source data. It can point to any Azure Blob or File, that is either public or has a shared access signature attached.

offset: int

Required

Start of byte range to use for writing to a section of the blob. Pages must be aligned with 512-byte boundaries, the start offset must be a modulus of 512 and the length must be a modulus of 512.

length: int

Required

Number of bytes to use for writing to a section of the blob. Pages must be aligned with 512-byte boundaries, the start offset must be a modulus of 512 and the length must be a modulus of 512.

source_offset: int

Required

This indicates the start of the range of bytes(inclusive) that has to be taken from the copy source. The service will read the same number of bytes as the destination range (length-offset).
