The AzureBlob class provides an easy to use interface to Microsoft's Azure Blob Storage service.

Syntax

class cloudstorage.AzureBlob

Remarks

The AzureBlob class offers an easy-to-use API for the Microsoft Azure Blob Storage service. Capabilities include uploading and downloading blobs of all types, strong encryption support, container management, and more.

Authentication

Authentication is simple, set the account property to the name of the Azure Storage account to operate against, and set the access_key property to an Azure access key associated with that account.

Alternatively, this class supports authentication via OAuth 2.0. First, perform OAuth authentication using the o_auth property to set the appropriate fields for the chosen o_auth_client_profile and o_auth_grant_type. Typically, the following fields should be set to the below values:

Below is a brief description of the different o_auth_client_profile and o_auth_grant_type values that are supported by this class. For a more in-depth description of what needs to be set, refer to the service documentation.

Application Profile

This profile encompasses the most basic grant types that OAuth supports. When this profile is set, all the requests and response handling is done by the class. Depending on the grant type, this may involve launching a browser so a user can login to authenticate with a authorization server. It may also involve starting an embedded web server to receive a response from a redirect.

To start the authentication and authorization process, the authorize method should be called. If the authorization and authentication was successful, then the o_auth_access_token property will be populated. Additionally, if a refresh token was provided the o_auth_refresh_token property will be populated as well. These values of the fields are for informational purposes. The class will also cache these tokens along with when the o_auth_access_token will be expired. When a method that makes requests to the service provider is called or the authorize method is called the class will automatically check to see if the access token is expired. If it is, it will then automatically try to get a new o_auth_access_token. If the authorize method was not used and user interaction would be required, the class will throw an error which can be caught. When user interaction is needed depends on what grant type is set in the o_auth_grant_type property. To force the component to only check the access token when the authorize method is called, the OAuthAutomaticRefresh configuration setting can be set to false.

A brief description of the supported values for the o_auth_grant_type property are below. For more information, see the service documentation.

Authorization Code

When using the Authorization Code grant type, the class will use an authorization code to get an access token. For this o_auth_grant_type the class expects a o_auth_client_id, o_auth_client_secret, o_auth_server_auth_url, and o_auth_server_token_url to be set. When the authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the class will parse the authorization code, setting the o_auth_authorization_code property, from the redirect. Immediately, the class will make a request to the token server to exchange the authorization code for an access token. The token server will return an access token and possibly a refresh token. If the o_auth_refresh_token property is set, or a refresh token is cached, then the class will not launch the browser and use the refresh token in its request to the token server instead of an authorization code.

blob.OAuth.ClientProfile = CloudOAuthClientProfiles.cocpApplication; blob.OAuth.GrantType = OAuthSettingsGrantTypes.cogtAuthorizationCode; blob.OAuth.ClientId = CLIENT_ID; blob.OAuth.ClientSecret = CLIENT_SECRET; blob.OAuth.AuthorizationScope = "https://{ACCOUNT}.blob.core.windows.net/user_impersonation"; blob.OAuth.ServerAuthURL = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{TENANT_ID}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize"; blob.OAuth.ServerTokenURL = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{TENANT_ID}/oauth2/v2.0/token"; blob.Authorize();

Implicit

Note: This grant type is considered insecure and should only be used when necessary.

When using the Implicit grant type, the class will request the authorization server to get an access token. For this o_auth_grant_type the class expects a o_auth_client_id, o_auth_client_secret, and o_auth_server_auth_url to be set. When the authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the class will parse the access token from the redirect.

A disadvantage of the grant type is that can not use a refresh token to silently get a new access token. Most service providers offer a way to silently get a new access token. See the service documentation for specifics. This means the class will not be able to automatically get a fresh token once it expires.

Password

Note: This grant type is considered insecure and should only be used when necessary.

When using the Resource Owner Password Credentials grant type, the class will authenticate as the resource owner. This allows for the class to avoid user interaction. This grant type often has specific limitations put on it by the service provider. See the service documentation for more details.

For this o_auth_grant_type the class requires OAuthPasswordGrantUsername, o_auth_client_secret, and o_auth_server_token_url to be set. The o_auth_client_secret should be set to the password of the account instead of a typical secret. In some cases, the o_auth_client_id also needs to be set. When the authorize method is called, the component will make a request to the token server for an access token using the username and password. The token server will return an access token if the authentication was successful. When this access token is expired, the component will automatically (see above for detailed description) make a new request to get a fresh one.

Web Profile

This profile is similar to setting the class to the Application profile and Authorization Code grant type except the class will not launch the browser. It is typically used in situations where there is a back-end that is supporting some front end. This profile expects that o_auth_client_id, o_auth_client_secret, o_auth_server_auth_url, o_auth_server_token_url, and the o_auth_return_url properties to be set. Before calling the authorize method, the o_auth_web_auth_url property should be queried to get a URL. This URL should be used to redirect the user to the authorization page for the service provider. The redirect_uri parameter of this URL is mapped to the o_auth_return_url property. The o_auth_return_url property should be set to some web server that will parse the authorization code out of the query parameter from the redirect. Once the authorization code is parsed, it should be passed back to the server where it is then set to the o_auth_authorization_code property. Once that is set, the authorize method can be called to exchange the authorization code for an access token and refresh token if provided. The class will then cache these values like normal and use them to make requests. If the o_auth_refresh_token field is set, or a refresh token is cached, then the authorize method can immediately be called to make a request to the token server to get a new access token.

External OAuth Support

For complex profiles or grant types, or for more control of the flow, it is possible to perform OAuth authentication using the OAuth class or a separate process. Once complete you should have an authorization string which looks like:

Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE

Assign this value to the authorization property before attempting any operations. Setting the authorization property will cause the class to ignore the values set in the o_auth property.

Consult the Azure Blob Storage service's documentation for more information about using OAuth authentication.

Usage

Once authenticated, you can start interacting with the Azure Blob Storage service. The following list shows some of the methods used to accomplish common tasks:

• Container management: list_containers, get_container_info, create_container, delete_container, get_container_acl, set_container_acl
• Blob management: list_blobs, get_blob_info, update_blob_info, create_blob, copy_blob, get_blob, delete_blob, undelete_blob
• Block blob management: list_blocks, put_block, put_block_list
• Page blob management: list_page_ranges, put_pages, clear_pages, update_page_blob
• Append blob management: append_block

The class support much more than just the functionality described above; refer to the complete API, below, for more information.

Default Value

""

Remarks

If this property is non-empty when list_blobs is called, any blobs whose names contain the same string between the specified prefix and the first occurrence of the specified delimiter that follow will be rolled up into a "common prefix" element, which is returned in place of the individual blobs themselves.

The on_prefix_list event will fire once for each common prefix returned. If the StorePrefixList configuration setting is enabled, the class will also populate the PrefixCount and Prefix[i] configuration settings

Blob Namespace Traversal

By using the blob_delimiter and prefix properties in tandem, applications can effectively "traverse" a virtual hierarchy of blobs as if it were a filesystem. For example, assume that blobs with the following names exist within a container:

• MyCompany
• MyCompany/Department1
• MyCompany/Department2
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

With blob_delimiter set to /, we can set prefix to successively "deeper" values before calling list_blobs for the following effect:

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the class is connected, the local_host property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Blob Namespace Traversal

By using the blob_delimiter and prefix properties in tandem, applications can effectively "traverse" a virtual hierarchy of blobs as if it were a filesystem. For example, assume that blobs with the following names exist within a container:

• MyCompany
• MyCompany/Department1
• MyCompany/Department2
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

With blob_delimiter set to /, we can set prefix to successively "deeper" values before calling list_blobs for the following effect:

range Property

The range of bytes to request.

Syntax

def get_range() -> str: ...

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the range of bytes to request from the server. If this property is non-empty when a get_blob or list_page_ranges request is being constructed, a header like x-ms-range: bytes=Range will be added to the request, with Range substituted with the specified value.

There are two valid formats for this property's value:

• StartByte-
• StartByte-EndByte

Note: If the start_byte property is greater than zero when get_blob is called (i.e., when a download is being resumed), and this property is non-empty, the class will automatically advance the StartByte value in the specified range by start_byte bytes when sending the x-ms-range header to the server. This ensures that the previously-downloaded data at the start of the specified range is not downloaded again when the download is resumed.

Syntax

def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

copy_blob Method

Copies a blob.

Syntax

def copy_blob(src_blob: str, dest_blob: str, dest_container: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method copies the specified SrcBlob (in the container currently selected by container) to the specified DestBlob in DestContainer. If this method finishes successfully, it will either return an asynchronous copy Id, or an empty string (if the copy has finished already).

If snapshot is non-empty, the specified snapshot of SrcBlob will be used as the copy source. In this case, DestBlob may be the same blob as SrcBlob to "promote" the snapshot, copying its contents back to the base blob.

If DestContainer is empty, the current value of container is used instead. If DestContainer in non-empty, the value will automatically be lowercased when preparing the request.

If DestBlob already exists, and is the same type of blob as SrcBlob, then it will be overwritten if overwrite is enabled. However, any snapshots associated with the existing blob are retained.

If DestBlob already exists and has an active infinite-duration lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail. (If it exists and has an active fixed-duration lease, the request will always fail.)

If the SendMetadataOnCopy configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the metadata properties will be sent in the copy request and applied to DestBlob. Otherwise, the server will copy the metadata items from SrcBlob to DestBlob.

If the request succeeds, this method will always populate the CopyId and CopyStatus configuration settings (and clear CopyProgress and CopyStatusDesc).

Asynchronous Copy Notes

As mentioned, this method will return a copy operation Id if the copy operation was started asynchronously. In this case, use the get_blob_info method to poll the DestBlob blob's information, which will cause the CopyStatus, CopyStatusDesc, and CopyProgress configuration settings to be refreshed.

A copy operation whose CopyStatus is still pending may also be aborted by passing the copy operation Id returned by this method (or later retrieved from CopyId) to the abort_copy method. // Copy a blob to another location within the same container. string copyResult = azureblob.CopyBlob("important.zip", "secrets.zip", ""); // If the returned value *isn't* empty string, then we'll monitor the status of the // asynchronous copy operation by polling once every 2 seconds using GetBlobInfo(). if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(copyResult)) { do { azureblob.GetBlobInfo("secrets.zip"); Console.WriteLine("Copy progress: " + azureblob.Config("CopyProgress")); } while (azureblob.Config("CopyStatus") == "pending"); }

create_blob Method

Creates a new blob of the specified type.

Syntax

def create_blob(blob: str, blob_type: int, page_blob_size: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method creates a new blob named Blob in the container currently selected by container. BlobType specifies what type of blob should be created; valid values are: Possible values are:

Refer to Azure's Understanding block blobs, append blobs, and page blobs article for more information about blob types.

PageBlobSize is only used when BlobType is abtPageBlob (1); it is ignored otherwise.

If the specified blob already exists, and is the same type of blob as BlobType specifies, then it will be overwritten if overwrite is enabled. However, any snapshots associated with the existing blob are retained.

If the specified blob already exists and has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail.

If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the metadata properties will be sent along with the creation request.

Creating Block Blobs

Block blobs can be created either with or without data initially. In either case, after the block blob is created, its contents can be managed by uploading blocks with put_block and then committing a new block list using put_block_list.

If upload data is present when this method is called to create a block blob, it will be uploaded in one of two ways. If the amount of data provided is less than or equal to the limit specified by the SimpleUploadLimit configuration setting (268435456 bytes (256MB), by default), it will be uploaded directly in the create blob request.

If more than SimpleUploadLimit bytes of data are provided, the class will first create the new block blob, and then upload the data by splitting it up into blocks (sized according to the FragmentSize configuration setting), uploading them individually, and then committing a new block list. To accomplish this, the class automatically makes calls to put_block and put_block_list internally, tracks the blocks as they are uploaded using the blocks properties, and tracks how much data has been uploaded using the start_byte property. The on_fragment_complete event will fire after each block is uploaded.

If, during a block-based upload, any individual put_block request (or the put_block_list request) fails, the upload can be resumed be calling this method again with the same parameters, so long as the blocks and start_byte properties still hold the same information as they did when the upload was interrupted.

When a block-based upload completes successfully, start_byte is reset to 0, but the blocks properties remains populated. This allows applications to easily inspect the Ids of the uploaded blocks, which the class generates automatically in the following GUID format: dddddddd-dddd-dddd-dddd-dddddddddddd (where each d is a single hex digit).

Creating Page Blobs

Unlike block blobs, no data can be uploaded when creating a page blob. However, the page blob's size (i.e., capacity) must be specified using PageBlobSize. A page blob's size must be a 512-byte-aligned; i.e. PageBlobSize % 512 == 0.

Once a page blob has been created, its contents can be manipulated using the put_pages and clear_pages methods.

Creating Append Blobs

Append blobs must also be created without uploading any data initially. After a page blob has been created, data can be appended to it using the append_block method.

create_container Method

Creates a new container.

Syntax

def create_container() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method creates a new container using the name specified by the container property;

If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the metadata properties will be sent along with the creation request.

Container Name Rules

Container names must adhere to the following rules:

• Must be 3 to 63 characters long.
• Must start with a letter or number; and may only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.
• All letters much be lowercase. (For convenience, the class will automatically lowercase all letters in any value assigned to container.)
• All hyphens must be immediately preceded and followed by a letter or number (consecutive hyphens are not allowed).

create_snapshot Method

Creates a new snapshot of a blob.

Syntax

def create_snapshot(blob: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method creates a new snapshot of the specified Blob in the container currently selected by container, and returns the opaque DateTime value used to identify the newly-created snapshot.

If the SendMetadataOnSnapshot configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the metadata properties will be sent in the request and applied to newly-created snapshot. Otherwise, the server will copy the metadata items from Blob to the snapshot.

If the specified blob has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using lease_id; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified.

delete_blob Method

Deletes a blob.

Syntax

def delete_blob(blob: str, delete_action: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method deletes the specified Blob in the container currently selected by container. DeleteAction specifies how the delete operation should be handled; possible values are:

Alternatively, if snapshot is non-empty, the specified snapshot of Blob is deleted, and DeleteAction is ignored.

If the current Azure Storage account, specified by account, has a delete retention policy enabled for the Blob service, then this method will only soft-delete blobs (and snapshots). Soft-deleted blobs and snapshots can be listed by enabling the IncludeSoftDeleted configuration setting before calling list_blobs, and can be undeleted at any point before their retention period expires by calling undelete_blob. This method can alternatively permanently delete blobs and snapshots by enabling the DeletePermanently configuration setting.

If the specified blob has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail.

delete_container Method

Deletes a container.

Syntax

def delete_container() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method deletes the container currently selected by container. Note that, according to the Azure documentation, when a container is deleted its name cannot be reused for at least 30 seconds.

If the current Azure Storage account, specified by account, has a delete retention policy enabled for the Blob service, then this method will only soft-delete containers. Soft-deleted containers can be listed by enabling the IncludeSoftDeleted configuration setting before calling list_containers, and can be undeleted at any point before their retention period expires by calling undelete_container.

If the specified container has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail.

get_blob Method

Downloads a blob.

Syntax

def get_blob(blob: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This methods downloads the specified Blob in the container currently selected by container. If snapshot is non-empty, the specified snapshot of Blob is downloaded instead. The range property can be used to download a specific range of bytes from the blob.

If the specified blob has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using lease_id; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified.

If local_file is set, the blob data will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the blob data will be held by resource_data.

To download and decrypt an encrypted blob, set encryption_algorithm and encryption_password before calling this method.

Download Notes

In the simplest use-case, downloading a blob looks like this: azureblob.LocalFile = "../MyData.zip"; azureblob.GetBlob(azureblob.Blobs[0].Name);

Resuming Downloads

The class also supports resuming failed downloads by using the start_byte property. If a download is interrupted, set start_byte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download. string downloadFile = "../MyData.zip"; azureblob.LocalFile = downloadFile; azureblob.GetBlob(azureblob.Blobs[0].Name); //The transfer is interrupted and GetBlob() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded file azureblob.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length; azureblob.GetBlob(azureblob.Blobs[0].Name);

Resuming Encrypted File Downloads

Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when local_file was set in the initial download attempt.

If local_file is set when beginning an encrypted download, the class creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.

To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with start_byte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to local_file. azureblob.LocalFile = "../MyData.zip"; azureblob.EncryptionPassword = "password"; azureblob.GetBlob(azureblob.Blobs[0].Name); //The transfer is interrupted and GetBlob() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded temp file azureblob.StartByte = new FileInfo(azureblob.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length; azureblob.GetBlob(azureblob.Blobs[0].Name);

get_blob_info Method

Gets a blob's information and metadata.

Syntax

def get_blob_info(blob: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method gets information and metadata for the specified Blob in the container currently selected by container. If snapshot is non-empty, information and metadata for the specified snapshot of Blob is retrieved instead.

Calling this method will fire the on_blob_list and on_metadata_list events, and will re-populate the blobs and metadata collection properties.

If the specified blob has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using lease_id; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified.

get_container_acl Method

Gets the stored access policies and public access level for a container.

Syntax

def get_container_acl() -> int: ...

Remarks

This method retrieves the stored access policies and the public access level for the container currently selected by container. The stored access policies are used to populate the access_policies properties, and the public access level is returned directly. Possible values are:

If the specified container has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using lease_id; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified.

get_container_info Method

Gets a container's information and metadata.

Syntax

def get_container_info() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method gets information and metadata for the container currently selected by container.

Calling this method will fire the on_container_list and on_metadata_list events, and will re-populate the containers and metadata collection properties.

If the specified container has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using lease_id; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified.

get_link Method

Creates a link that provides access to a container, blob, or snapshot.

Syntax

def get_link(blob: str, permissions: str, start_time: str, expiry_time: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method creates and returns a shared access signature (SAS), which is a link that provides access to a specific container, blob, or snapshot. The following table indicates which inputs must be provided to produce a link of the desired type:

Permissions specifies what permissions the SAS grants, in the form of an abbreviated permissions list. Refer to this section of Azure's "Create a Service SAS" article for more information about how to format this value.

StartTime and ExpiryTime specify the UTC start and end times of the SAS's validity interval. Refer to this section of Azure's "Create a Service SAS" article for more information about how to format these values.

StartTime may be empty, in which case the server will assume that the link is valid immediately. Permissions and ExpiryTime must both be non-empty, unless an si query parameter that references a stored access policy (which has corresponding non-empty values) is present in the query_params properties.

If any of the query parameters listed below are present in the query_params properties when this method is called, they will be included when creating the SAS. All other application-specified query parameters are ignored.

• Response headers: rscc, rscd, rsce, rscl, rsct
• IP address (single or range): sip
• Allowed HTTP protocol(s): spr
• Stored access policy ("signed identifier"): si

For more information about SAS links, refer to Azure's Create a Service SAS article.

get_user_delegation_key Method

Requests a new user delegation key.

Syntax

def get_user_delegation_key(start_time: str, expiry_time: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method requests a new user delegation key and populates UserDelegationKey with the returned information.

NOTE: This method is not currently implemented; it is reserved for future use.

interrupt Method

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

def interrupt() -> None: ...

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

lease Method

Creates or manages a lease on a blob or container.

Syntax

def lease(blob: str, lease_action: int, new_lease_id: str, duration: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method creates or manages a lease on the container currently selected by container (if Blob is empty), or on the specified Blob in that container.

LeaseAction specifies what action should occur. Possible values, and their effects, are:

• Acquire (0): Requests a new lease.
  • If no active lease currently exists, a new one is created and lease_id is populated with the new lease's Id. If a non-empty value is passed for NewLeaseId, it is used; otherwise the server generates an Id.
  • If an active lease currently exists, its Id must be passed for NewLeaseId.
  • In either case, Duration is used to specify the length of time that the lease is valid for (see below).
• Renew (1): Renews the lease specified by lease_id.
  • Leases can only be renewed while active or expired (and in the latter case, only if a different lease has not been acquired in the meantime).
  • Renewing an active lease will reset its expiration clock.
• Change (2): Changes the Id of the active lease specified by lease_id to the one specified by NewLeaseId.
  • If this action is successful, the class will automatically set lease_id to the value passed for NewLeaseId.
• Release (3): Releases the lease specified by lease_id.
  • If this action is successful, the class will automatically clear lease_id.
• Break (4): Breaks the current lease, either immediately or after a certain period of time (the "break period") according to the value passed for Duration.
  • The lease's Id is not required to break the lease.
  • If Duration is -1, fixed-length leases are broken after their remaining time elapses, and infinite-length leases are broken immediately.
  • Otherwise, Duration specified how many seconds (see below) the lease should continue before being broken. (For fixed-length leases, the lesser of this value and the lease's remaining time is used.)
  • If this action is successful, the LeaseBreakPeriod configuration setting is populated to indicate how long the lease's break period is.

If NewLeaseId is non-empty, if must be a GUID string formatted in one of the styles described by Microsoft's .NET Guid(string) constructor documentation. For example: dddddddd-dddd-dddd-dddd-dddddddddddd, where each d is a single case-insensitive hex digit.

The value passed for Duration is only used in the cases listed below; it is ignored otherwise.

• When LeaseAction is Acquire (0): Valid values for Duration are -1 (infinite), or a number of seconds between 15 and 60 (inclusive).
• When LeaseAction is Break (4): Valid values for Duration are -1 (unspecified), or a number of seconds between 0 and 60 (inclusive). 0 indicates the lease should be broken immediately, regardless of whether it is fixed- or infinite-length.

For more information about how leases work, refer to Azure's Lease Blob and Lease Container API documentation.

list_blobs Method

Lists the blobs in a container.

Syntax

def list_blobs() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method lists the blobs in the container currently selected by container.

Before calling this method, the prefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the items whose names begin with a given string. The MaxResults configuration setting may also be used to limit the number of results returned. The following properties and configuration settings can also be used to further tune the results returned; refer to their documentation for more information:

• blob_delimiter
• IncludeSnapshots
• IncludeSoftDeleted
• IncludeUncommittedBlobs
• ListWithMetadata

Calling this method will fire the on_blob_list event once for each blob, and will also populate the blobs properties. It may also fire the on_prefix_list and on_metadata_list events, and populate the PrefixCount and Prefix[i] configuration settings, depending on how the properties and configuration settings discussed above are set.

If there are still more blobs available to list when this method returns, the blob_marker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until blob_marker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the blobs properties. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the blobs properties every time a page of results is returned.

Blob Namespace Traversal

By using the blob_delimiter and prefix properties in tandem, applications can effectively "traverse" a virtual hierarchy of blobs as if it were a filesystem. For example, assume that blobs with the following names exist within a container:

• MyCompany
• MyCompany/Department1
• MyCompany/Department2
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

With blob_delimiter set to /, we can set prefix to successively "deeper" values before calling list_blobs for the following effect:

list_blocks Method

Lists the blocks associated with a block blob.

Syntax

def list_blocks(block_blob: str, block_list_type: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method lists the blocks associated with the specified BlockBlob in the container currently selected by container. BlockListType indicates which block list(s) the server should return results from; possible values are:

Alternatively, if snapshot is non-empty, the committed blocks for the specified snapshot of BlockBlob are listed instead (and BlockListType is ignored).

Calling this method will fire the on_block_list event once for each block, and will also repopulate the blocks properties.

list_containers Method

Lists the containers in the blob storage account.

Syntax

def list_containers() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method lists the containers in the Azure blob storage account specified by the account property.

Before calling this method, the prefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the items whose names begin with a given string. The MaxResults configuration setting may also be used to limit the number of results returned. The ListWithMetadata and IncludeSoftDeleted configuration settings can also be used to further tune the results returned.

Calling this method will fire the on_container_list event once for each container, and will also populate the containers properties. It may also fire the on_metadata_list event, depending on how the ListWithMetadata setting is configured.

If there are still more containers available to list when this method returns, the container_marker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until container_marker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the containers properties. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the containers properties every time a page of results is returned.

list_page_ranges Method

Lists the page ranges of a page blob.

Syntax

def list_page_ranges(page_blob: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method lists the allocated page ranges of the specified PageBlob in the container currently selected by container. If snapshot is non-empty, the allocated page ranges for the specified snapshot of PageBlob are listed instead.

The range property can be used to restrict the results to only the page ranges within the specified range.

Calling this method will repopulate the page_ranges properties. Every page in a page blob is exactly 512 bytes in length; thus, the size of every range returned by this method will always be a multiple of 512.

Normally, ranges of pages that are not currently allocated (either because no data has been written to them, or because they've been cleared with clear_pages) will not be returned by this method. However, setting the PreviousSnapshot configuration setting to a non-empty value will cause the server to return a list of all pages that differ between that snapshot and the base PageBlob (or the later snapshot of PageBlob specified by snapshot); refer to PreviousSnapshot for more information.

If the specified blob has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using lease_id; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified.

put_block Method

Uploads a new block of data to a block blob.

Syntax

def put_block(block_blob: str, block_id: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method uploads a new block of data with the given BlockId to the specified BlockBlob in the container currently selected by container. The block of data is uploaded in an uncommitted state; it will not be available as part of the block blob until it is committed in a put_block_list operation.

The Base64-encoded Id of the block is returned (if the EncodeBlockIds configuration setting is disabled, the same value as passed for BlockId is returned; see below for more information).

If the specified BlockBlob does not yet exist, it is created in an uncommitted state. If an uncommitted block with the specified BlockId is already associated with the specified BlockBlob, it is replaced.

Block Ids must be Base64-encoded when sent to the server. By default, the class will automatically Base64-encode block Ids as they are sent, and Base64-decode them as they are received. This behavior can be configured using the EncodeBlockIds configuration setting.

All block Ids must be less than or equal to 64 bytes in length before being Base64-encoded. Additionally, all blocks Ids within a single block blob must be unique, and of the exact same length after Base64-encoding.

Up to 100MB (104857600 bytes) of data may be uploaded in a single block, and up to 100000 uncommitted blocks may be associated with a block blob at any time.

If the block is successfully uploaded, the class will automatically call add_block to add an item to the blocks properties. This behavior can be changed using the AutoAddBlocks configuration setting.

If BlockBlob already exists and has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail.

put_block_list Method

Commits a list of data blocks to a block blob.

Syntax

def put_block_list(block_blob: str, block_list: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method commits the blocks of data specified by the blocks properties to the specified BlockBlob in the container currently selected by container. Up to 50000 blocks may be committed to a single block blob at any time.

The BlockList parameter can optionally be passed a non-empty list of blocks to commit in order to repopulate the blocks properties before building the request. This allows applications to build an entire block list and then commit it in a single call, rather than manipulating the blocks properties directly, or calling add_block.

The value supplied should contain a comma-separated list of strings like {BlockListType}:{BlockId}, where {BlockListType} is either C, U, or L to specify whether the server should search for a block with the associated Id in BlockBlob's committed block list, uncommitted block list, or both (uncommitted; then committed, if necessary). If necessary, the BlockListStringSeparator configuration setting can be used to change the separator string used when parsing the value.

If BlockList is empty, the current items in the blocks properties will remain unchanged.

If the specified blob has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail.

Note: By default, the class will automatically retrieve and re-submit the BlockBlob's current properties and metadata (if it exists) when this method is called, since Azure would clear them otherwise.

However, if one or more x-ms-blob-* headers are present in other_headers when this method is called, the class will send them rather than re-submitting any of the retrieved blob properties. Similarly, if the SendMetadataOnPutBlockList configuration setting is enabled, the class will send the metadata items currently present in the metadata properties instead of those retrieved from the server.

put_pages Method

Uploads a range of pages to a page blob.

Syntax

def put_pages(page_blob: str, write_offset: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method uploads a range of pages to the specified PageBlob in the container currently selected by container, starting at the byte offset specified by WriteOffset. The uploaded data is immediately available as part of the page blob, which must already exist.

The upload data's size, in bytes, must be a multiple of 512 no larger than 4MB (4194304 bytes). The value passed for WriteOffset must also be a multiple of 512; WriteOffset % == 0.

Note that writing a page full of zeros will not actually clear said page, so it will still incur data storage charges. It is recommended that applications avoid writing pages that only contain zeros, or clear such pages using the clear_pages method.

If the specified blob has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail.

reset Method

Resets the class to its initial state.

Syntax

def reset() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method resets the class to its initial state.

send_custom_request Method

Sends a custom request to the Azure Blob Storage service.

Syntax

def send_custom_request(http_method: str, blob: str, request_body: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to the Azure Blob Storage service.

Valid values for HttpMethod are:

• GET (default if empty)
• HEAD
• POST
• PUT
• DELETE

The Blob and RequestBody parameters may be empty if not needed.

Usage

When this method is called, the class does the following:

1. Builds a request URL, including query parameters, using the following:
   • use_ssl
   • account (must be non-empty)
   • container (if non-empty)
   • Blob (if non-empty)
   • snapshot (if both it and Blob are non-empty)
   • query_params
2. Adds request headers from:
   • APIVersion
   • lease_id (if non-empty)
   • IfMatch (if non-empty)
   • other_headers
3. Authenticates the request using authorization (if non-empty), or access_key (in which case the request is signed).
4. Sends the request, including RequestBody if non-empty.
5. Stores the response headers in the parsed_headers properties; and the response body in the specified local_file, or blob_data (using the same logic as get_blob).

If the response body is XML data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.

set_container_acl Method

Sets the stored access policies and public access level for a container.

Syntax

def set_container_acl(public_access: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method sets the stored access policies and the public access level for the container currently specified by container. The items in the access_policies properties determine the new set of stored access policies, and PublicAccess determines the new public access level. Possible values are:

Note that it is not possible to do a partial update of stored access policies. That is, all stored access policies currently associated with the container will be replaced with the stored access policies sent in the request. To prevent data loss, applications should call get_container_acl to retrieve the container's current stored access polices, and then add/modify/remove them as desired, before using this method.

If the specified container has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using lease_id; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified.

undelete_blob Method

Undeletes a soft-deleted blob.

Syntax

def undelete_blob(blob: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method undeletes the specified soft-deleted Blob in the container currently selected by container. If any soft-deleted snapshots are associated with the specified blob, they are also undeleted (note that this also works if the blob itself has not been soft-deleted).

Refer to delete_blob for more information about soft-deleting blobs.

undelete_container Method

Undeletes a soft-deleted container.

Syntax

def undelete_container(container: str, deleted_version: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method undeletes the specified soft-deleted Container with the supplied DeletedVersion. If any soft-deleted blobs and snapshots are associated with the specified container, they are also undeleted, but note that soft-deleted blobs can only be restored in this manner if the container itself was also deleted.

Refer to delete_container for more information about soft-deleting containers.

update_blob_info Method

Updates a blob's information.

Syntax

def update_blob_info(blob: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method updates the information of the specified Blob in the container currently selected by container.

There must be an AzureBlobBlob properties whose blob_name property matches the specified Blob name (and whose blob_snapshot property is empty) before this method is called.

When this method is called, the values of the following propertys on the aforementioned item are sent to the server (note that the last two are indexed configuration settings):

• blob_content_disposition
• blob_content_encoding
• blob_content_md5
• blob_content_type
• BlobCacheControl[i]
• BlobContentLanguage[i]

Note that it is not possible to do a partial update of a blob's information. That is, all of the blob's current values for the aforementioned propertys will be replaced with the values sent in the request. To prevent data loss, applications should call get_blob_info to retrieve the blob's current information, and then modify it as desired, before using this method.

If the specified blob has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail.

update_metadata Method

Sets the metadata for a blob or container.

Syntax

def update_metadata(blob: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method sets the metadata for the container currently selected by container (if Blob is empty), or for the specified Blob in that container, to the items currently held by the metadata properties.

Note that it is not possible to do a partial metadata update. That is, all metadata currently associated with the blob or container will be replaced with the metadata sent in the request. To prevent data loss, applications should call get_blob_info or get_container_info to retrieve the blob or container's current metadata, and then modify it as desired, before using this method.

When setting the metadata of a container that has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using lease_id; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified. When setting the metadata of a blob that has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail.

update_page_blob Method

Updates a page blob's size and/or sequence number.

Syntax

def update_page_blob(page_blob: str, new_size: int, sequence_num_action: int, new_sequence_num: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method updates the size and/or sequence number of the specified PageBlob in the container currently selected by container.

NewSize must either be -1 (to keep the page blob's current size), or a multiple of 512; i.e. NewSize % 512 == 0. If NewSize is less than the page blob's current size, all pages above the specified value are cleared.

SequenceNumAction determines how the page blob's sequence number should be changed; possible values are:

In cases where NewSequenceNum is used, it must be a value in the range 0 to 2^63 - 1, inclusive.

If the specified blob has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using lease_id, or the request will fail.

  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_end_transfer() -> Callable[[AzureBlobEndTransferEventParams], None]: ...
@on_end_transfer.setter
def on_end_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobEndTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

Syntax

class AzureBlobErrorEventParams(object):
  @property
  def error_code() -> int: ...

  @property
  def description() -> str: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[AzureBlobErrorEventParams], None]: ...

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

on_fragment_complete Event

Fires after each block in an automatic block-based upload is complete.

Syntax

class AzureBlobFragmentCompleteEventParams(object):
  @property
  def fragment_number() -> int: ...

  @property
  def fragment_count() -> int: ...

  @property
  def interrupt() -> bool: ...
  @interrupt.setter
  def interrupt(value) -> None: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_fragment_complete() -> Callable[[AzureBlobFragmentCompleteEventParams], None]: ...
@on_fragment_complete.setter
def on_fragment_complete(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobFragmentCompleteEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

When create_blob is used to create a new block blob, and more than SimpleUploadLimit bytes of upload data is provided, the class will automatically split the upload data up into blocks to perform the upload. During the overall upload process, this event will fire after each block is uploaded, providing an indication of overall upload progress.

FragmentNumber is the number of the current block that has completed. This value starts at 1.

FragmentCount is the total number of blocks that will be uploaded.

Interrupt can be set to True to interrupt the upload. The upload may be resumed later.

Refer to create_blob for more information.

on_header Event

Fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

class AzureBlobHeaderEventParams(object):
  @property
  def field() -> str: ...

  @property
  def value() -> str: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_header() -> Callable[[AzureBlobHeaderEventParams], None]: ...
@on_header.setter
def on_header(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobHeaderEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

on_log Event

Syntax

class AzureBlobLogEventParams(object):
  @property
  def log_level() -> int: ...

  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

  @property

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_log() -> Callable[[AzureBlobLogEventParams], None]: ...
@on_log.setter
def on_log(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobLogEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the class. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

on_metadata_list Event

Fires once for each metadata item returned when listing metadata.

Syntax

class AzureBlobMetadataListEventParams(object):
  @property
  def container() -> str: ...

  @property
  def blob() -> str: ...

  @property
  def snapshot() -> str: ...

  @property
  def name() -> str: ...

  @property
  def value() -> str: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_metadata_list() -> Callable[[AzureBlobMetadataListEventParams], None]: ...
@on_metadata_list.setter
def on_metadata_list(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobMetadataListEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event fires once for each metadata item returned when get_blob_info or get_container_info is called. If the ListWithMetadata configuration setting is enabled, it also fires as metadata for each individual blob or container is returned when list_blobs or list_containers is called.

Container is the name of the container that the blob is in (if Blob is non-empty), or that the metadata item is associated with (if Blob is empty).

Blob, if non-empty, is the name of the blob that the metadata item is associated with.

Snapshot, if non-empty, is the opaque DateTime value that identifiers the blob snapshot that the metadata item is associated with.

Name is the name of the metadata item, without the x-ms-meta- prefix.

Value the metadata item's value.

on_prefix_list Event

Fires once for each common prefix returned when listing blobs.

Syntax

class AzureBlobPrefixListEventParams(object):
  @property
  def prefix() -> str: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_prefix_list() -> Callable[[AzureBlobPrefixListEventParams], None]: ...
@on_prefix_list.setter
def on_prefix_list(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobPrefixListEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event fires once for each common prefix returned when list_blobs is called when blob_delimiter is non-empty. Refer to blob_delimiter for more information.

Prefix is the common prefix.

on_progress Event

Fires during an upload or download to indicate transfer progress.

Syntax

class AzureBlobProgressEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

  @property
  def bytes_transferred() -> int: ...

  @property
  def total_bytes() -> int: ...

  @property
  def percent_done() -> int: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_progress() -> Callable[[AzureBlobProgressEventParams], None]: ...
@on_progress.setter
def on_progress(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobProgressEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event fires during an upload or download to indicate the progress of the transfer of the entire request. By default, this event will fire each time PercentDone increases by one percent; the ProgressStep configuration setting can be used to alter this behavior.

Direction indicates whether the transfer is an upload (0) or a download (1).

BytesTransferred reflects the number of bytes that have been transferred so far, or 0 if the transfer is starting (however, see note below).

TotalBytes reflects the total number of bytes that are to be transferred, or -1 if the total is unknown. This amount includes the size of everything in the request like HTTP headers.

PercentDone reflects the overall progress of the transfer, or -1 if the progress cannot be calculated.

Note: By default, the class tracks transfer progress absolutely. If a transfer is interrupted and later resumed, the values reported by this event upon and after resumption will account for the data that was transferred before the interruption.

For example, if 10MB of data was successfully transferred before the interruption, then this event will fire with a BytesTransferred value of 10485760 (10MB) when the transfer is first resumed, and then continue to fire with successively greater values as usual.

This behavior can be changed by disabling the ProgressAbsolute configuration setting, in which case the class will treat resumed transfers as "new" transfers. In this case, the BytesTransferred parameter will always be 0 the first time this event fires, regardless of whether the transfer is new or being resumed.

on_ssl_server_authentication Event

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

class AzureBlobSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams(object):
  @property
  def cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...

  @property
  def cert_subject() -> str: ...

  @property
  def cert_issuer() -> str: ...

  @property
  def status() -> str: ...

  @property
  def accept() -> bool: ...
  @accept.setter
  def accept(value) -> None: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_ssl_server_authentication() -> Callable[[AzureBlobSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ssl_server_authentication.setter
def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

on_ssl_status Event

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

class AzureBlobSSLStatusEventParams(object):
  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_ssl_status() -> Callable[[AzureBlobSSLStatusEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ssl_status.setter
def on_ssl_status(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobSSLStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

on_start_transfer Event

This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

class AzureBlobStartTransferEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_start_transfer() -> Callable[[AzureBlobStartTransferEventParams], None]: ...
@on_start_transfer.setter
def on_start_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobStartTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The on_start_transfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

on_transfer Event

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

class AzureBlobTransferEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

  @property
  def bytes_transferred() -> int: ...

  @property
  def percent_done() -> int: ...

  @property
  def text() -> bytes: ...

# In class AzureBlob:
@property
def on_transfer() -> Callable[[AzureBlobTransferEventParams], None]: ...
@on_transfer.setter
def on_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[AzureBlobTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
