Constructor

BlobClient(account_url: str, container_name: str, blob_name: str, snapshot: str | Dict[str, Any] | None = None, credential: str | Dict[str, str] | AzureNamedKeyCredential | AzureSasCredential | TokenCredential | None = None, **kwargs: Any)

Parameters

Name Description
account_url
Required
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 classmethod.

container_name
Required
str

The container name for the blob.

blob_name
Required
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.

default value: None
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 instance of a AzureSasCredential or AzureNamedKeyCredential from azure.core.credentials, an account shared access key, or an instance of a TokenCredentials class from azure.identity. If the resource URI already contains a SAS token, this will be ignored in favor of an explicit credential

  • except in the case of AzureSasCredential, where the conflicting SAS tokens will raise a ValueError. If using an instance of AzureNamedKeyCredential, "name" should be the storage account name, and "key" should be the storage account key.
default value: None

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.

close

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

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. This operation creates a new 0-length append blob. The content of any existing blob is overwritten with the newly initialized append blob. To add content to the append blob, call the append_block or append_block_from_url method.

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 specifying include=['deleted'] option. Soft-deleted blob can be restored using <xref:azure.storage.blob.undelete> operation.

delete_immutability_policy

The Delete Immutability Policy operation deletes the immutability policy on the blob.

New in version 12.10.0: This operation was introduced in API version '2020-10-02'.

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. Using chunks() returns an iterator which allows the user to iterate over the content in chunks.

exists

Returns True if a blob exists with the defined parameters, and returns False otherwise.

from_blob_url

Create BlobClient from a blob url. This doesn't support customized blob url with '/' in blob name.

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_blob_tags

The Get Tags operation enables users to get tags on a blob or specific blob version, or snapshot.

New in version 12.4.0: This operation was introduced in API version '2019-12-12'.

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

DEPRECATED: Returns the list of valid page ranges for a Page Blob or snapshot of a page blob.

list_page_ranges

Returns the list of valid page ranges for a Page Blob or snapshot of a page blob. If previous_snapshot is specified, the result will be a diff of changes between the target blob and the previous snapshot.

query_blob

Enables users to select/project on blob/or blob snapshot data by providing simple query expressions. This operations returns a BlobQueryReader, users need to use readall() or readinto() to get query data.

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.

seal_append_blob

The Seal operation seals the Append Blob to make it read-only.

New in version 12.4.0.

set_blob_metadata

Sets user-defined metadata for the blob as one or more name-value pairs.

set_blob_tags

The Set Tags operation enables users to set tags on a blob or specific blob version, but not snapshot. Each call to this operation replaces all existing tags attached to the blob. To remove all tags from the blob, call this operation with no tags set.

New in version 12.4.0: This operation was introduced in API version '2019-12-12'.

set_http_headers

Sets system properties on the blob.

If one property is set for the content_settings, all properties will be overridden.

set_immutability_policy

The Set Immutability Policy operation sets the immutability policy on the blob.

New in version 12.10.0: This operation was introduced in API version '2020-10-02'.

set_legal_hold

The Set Legal Hold operation sets a legal hold on the blob.

New in version 12.10.0: This operation was introduced in API version '2020-10-02'.

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 from the given URL.

This operation returns a dictionary containing copy_status and copy_id, which can be used to check the status of or abort the copy operation. copy_status will be 'success' if the copy completed synchronously or 'pending' if the copy has been started asynchronously. For asynchronous copies, the status can be checked by polling the get_blob_properties method and checking the copy status. Set requires_sync to True to force the copy to be synchronous. 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.

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.

If blob versioning is enabled, the base blob cannot be restored using this method. Instead use start_copy_from_url with the URL of the blob version you wish to promote to the current version.

upload_blob

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

upload_blob_from_url

Creates a new Block Blob where the content of the blob is read from a given URL. The content of an existing blob is overwritten with the new blob.

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.

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.

abort_copy(copy_id: str | Dict[str, Any] | BlobProperties, **kwargs: Any) -> None

Parameters

Name Description

Returns

Type Description

Blob property dict.

start_copy_from_url

Copies a blob from the given URL.

This operation returns a dictionary containing copy_status and copy_id, which can be used to check the status of or abort the copy operation. copy_status will be 'success' if the copy completed synchronously or 'pending' if the copy has been started asynchronously. For asynchronous copies, the status can be checked by polling the get_blob_properties method and checking the copy status. Set requires_sync to True to force the copy to be synchronous. 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.

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
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.

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

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.

source_etag
str

The source 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.

source_match_condition

if_modified_since

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 destination blob has been modified since the specified date/time. If the destination blob has not been modified, the Blob service returns status code 412 (Precondition Failed).

if_unmodified_since

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.

source_lease

Specify this to perform the Copy Blob operation only if the lease ID given matches the active lease ID of the source blob.

timeout
int

Sets the server-side timeout for the operation in seconds. For more details see https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/setting-timeouts-for-blob-service-operations. This value is not tracked or validated on the client. To configure client-side network timesouts see here.

New in version 12.4.0.

requires_sync

Enforces that the service will not return a response until the copy is complete.

source_authorization
str

Authenticate as a service principal using a client secret to access a source blob. Ensure "bearer " is the prefix of the source_authorization string. This option is only available when incremental_copy is set to False and requires_sync is set to True.

New in version 12.9.0.

encryption_scope
str

A predefined encryption scope used to encrypt the data on the sync copied blob. An encryption scope can be created using the Management API and referenced here by name.

undelete_blob(**kwargs: Any) -> None

Keyword-Only Parameters

Name Description
timeout
int

Sets the server-side timeout for the operation in seconds. For more details see https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/setting-timeouts-for-blob-service-operations. This value is not tracked or validated on the client. To configure client-side network timesouts see here.

Returns

Type Description

upload_blob

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

upload_blob(data: bytes | str | Iterable | IO, blob_type: str | BlobType = BlobType.BLOCKBLOB, length: int | None = None, metadata: Dict[str, str] | None = None, **kwargs) -> Dict[str, Any]

Parameters

Name Description
data
Required

The blob data to upload.

blob_type
Required

The type of the blob. This can be either BlockBlob, PageBlob or AppendBlob. The default value is BlockBlob.

length
Required
int

Number of bytes to read from the stream. This is optional, but should be supplied for optimal performance.

metadata
Required

Name-value pairs associated with the blob as metadata.

Keyword-Only Parameters

Name Description
tags

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

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 object used to set blob properties. Used to set content type, encoding, language, disposition, md5, and cache control.

validate_content

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

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

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

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

The match condition to use upon the etag.

if_tags_match_condition
str

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.

premium_page_blob_tier

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.

New in version 12.10.0: This was introduced in API version '2020-10-02'.

legal_hold

Specified if a legal hold should be set on the blob. Currently this parameter of upload_blob() API is for BlockBlob only.

New in version 12.10.0: This was introduced in API version '2020-10-02'.

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

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.

progress_hook

A callback to track the progress of a long running upload. The signature is function(current: int, total: Optional[int]) where current is the number of bytes transferred so far, and total is the size of the blob or None if the size is unknown.

timeout
int

Sets the server-side timeout for the operation in seconds. For more details see https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/setting-timeouts-for-blob-service-operations. This value is not tracked or validated on the client. To configure client-side network timesouts see here. This method may make multiple calls to the service and the timeout will apply to each call individually.

Returns

Type Description

Blob-updated property dict (Etag and last modified)

upload_blob_from_url

Creates a new Block Blob where the content of the blob is read from a given URL. The content of an existing blob is overwritten with the new blob.
