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. |
raise_on_any_failure
|
This is a boolean param which defaults to True. When this is set, an exception is raised even if there is a single operation failure. |
Type | Description |
---|---|
An iterator of responses, one for each blob in order |
Creates a new blob from a data source with automatic chunking.
upload_blob(name: str, data: bytes | str | Iterable | IO, blob_type: str | BlobType = BlobType.BLOCKBLOB, length: int | None = None, metadata: Dict[str, str] | None = None, **kwargs) -> BlobClient
Name | Description |
---|---|
name
Required
|
The blob with which to interact. |
data
Required
|
The blob data to upload. |
blob_type
|
The type of the blob. This can be either BlockBlob, PageBlob or AppendBlob. The default value is BlockBlob. Default value: BlobType.BLOCKBLOB
|
length
|
Number of bytes to read from the stream. This is optional, but should be supplied for optimal performance. Default value: None
|
metadata
|
Name-value pairs associated with the blob as metadata. Default value: None
|
Name | Description |
---|---|
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 container has an active lease. 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
|
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
|
Specify a SQL where clause on blob tags to operate only on blob with a matching value.
eg. New in version 12.4.0. |
timeout
|
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. |
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. |
standard_blob_tier
|
A standard blob tier value to set the blob to. For this version of the library, this is only applicable to block blobs on standard storage accounts. |
maxsize_condition
|
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
|
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
|
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
|
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. |
Type | Description |
---|---|
A BlobClient to interact with the newly uploaded blob. |
Returns a generator to list the blobs under the specified container. The generator will lazily follow the continuation tokens returned by the service. This operation will list blobs in accordance with a hierarchy, as delimited by the specified delimiter character.

The delimiter may be a single character or a string. Default value: /
|
Name | Description |
---|---|
