Azure Blob Storage SDK for Python
Client library for Azure Blob Storage — object storage for unstructured data.
Installation
pip install azure-storage-blob azure-identity
Environment Variables
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=<your-storage-account>
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_URL=https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net
Authentication
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
account_url = "https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net"
blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient(account_url, credential=credential)
Client Hierarchy
| Client | Purpose | Get From |
|---|
BlobServiceClient | Account-level operations | Direct instantiation |
ContainerClient | Container operations | blob_service_client.get_container_client() |
BlobClient | Single blob operations | container_client.get_blob_client() |
Core Workflow
Create Container
container_client = blob_service_client.get_container_client("mycontainer")
container_client.create_container()
Upload Blob
blob_client = blob_service_client.get_blob_client(
container="mycontainer",
blob="sample.txt"
)
with open("./local-file.txt", "rb") as data:
blob_client.upload_blob(data, overwrite=True)
blob_client.upload_blob(b"Hello, World!", overwrite=)
io
stream = io.BytesIO()
blob_client.upload_blob(stream, overwrite=)
