Azure Blob Storage SDK for Python

Client library for Azure Blob Storage — object storage for unstructured data.

Installation

bash
pip install azure-storage-blob azure-identity

Environment Variables

bash
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=<your-storage-account>
# Or use full URL
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_URL=https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net

Authentication

python
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)

Execution boundaries

Confirm the account, container and exact blob before writes or deletion. overwrite=True replaces content; deleting snapshots can be irreversible without an independently verified recovery policy. Use least-privilege RBAC and short-lived read-only SAS where needed; never log SAS URLs or account keys. A BytesIO buffer still retains the entire download in memory; use a file stream for large data.

Core Workflow

Create Container
python
container_client = blob_service_client.get_container_client("mycontainer")
container_client.create_container()
Upload Blob
python
# From file path
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)
# From bytes/string
blob_client.upload_blob(b"Hello, World!", overwrite=True)
# From stream
import io
stream = io.BytesIO(b"Stream content")
blob_client.upload_blob(stream, overwrite=True)
Download Blob
python
blob_client = blob_service_client.get_blob_client(
container="mycontainer",
blob="sample.txt"
)
# To file
with open("./downloaded.txt", "wb") as file:
download_stream = blob_client.download_blob()
file.write(download_stream.readall())
# To memory
download_stream = blob_client.download_blob()
content = download_stream.readall() # bytes
# Read into existing buffer
stream = io.BytesIO()
num_bytes = blob_client.download_blob().readinto(stream)
List Blobs
python
container_client = blob_service_client.get_container_client("mycontainer")
# List all blobs
for blob in container_client.list_blobs():
print(f"{blob.name} - {blob.size} bytes")
# List with prefix (folder-like)
for blob in container_client.list_blobs(name_starts_with="logs/"):
print(blob.name)
# Walk blob hierarchy (virtual directories)
for item in container_client.walk_blobs(delimiter="/"):
if item.get("prefix"):
print(f"Directory: {item['prefix']}")
else:
print(f"Blob: {item.name}")
Delete Blob
python
blob_client.delete_blob()
# Delete with snapshots
blob_client.delete_blob(delete_snapshots="include")

Performance Tuning

python
# Configure chunk sizes for large uploads/downloads
blob_client = BlobClient(
account_url=account_url,
container_name="mycontainer",
blob_name="large-file.zip",
credential=credential,
max_block_size=4 * 1024 * 1024, # 4 MiB blocks
max_single_put_size=64 * 1024 * 1024 # 64 MiB single upload limit
)
# Parallel upload
blob_client.upload_blob(data, max_concurrency=4)
# Parallel download
download_stream = blob_client.download_blob(max_concurrency=4)

SAS Tokens

python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
from azure.storage.blob import generate_blob_sas, BlobSasPermissions
sas_token = generate_blob_sas(
account_name="<account>",
container_name="mycontainer",
blob_name="sample.txt",
account_key="<account-key>", # Or use user delegation key
permission=BlobSasPermissions(read=True),
expiry=datetime.now(timezone.utc) + timedelta(hours=1)
)
# Use SAS token
blob_url = f"https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/sample.txt?{sas_token}"

Blob Properties and Metadata

python
# Get properties
properties = blob_client.get_blob_properties()
print(f"Size: {properties.size}")
print(f"Content-Type: {properties.content_settings.content_type}")
print(f"Last modified: {properties.last_modified}")
# Set metadata
blob_client.set_blob_metadata(metadata={"category": "logs", "year": "2024"})
# Set content type
from azure.storage.blob import ContentSettings
blob_client.set_http_headers(
content_settings=ContentSettings(content_type="application/json")
)

Async Client

python
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.storage.blob.aio import BlobServiceClient
async def upload_async():
async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential, BlobServiceClient(account_url, credential=credential) as client:
blob_client = client.get_blob_client("mycontainer", "sample.txt")
with open("./file.txt", "rb") as data:
await blob_client.upload_blob(data, overwrite=True)
# Download async
async def download_async():
async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential, BlobServiceClient(account_url, credential=credential) as client:
blob_client = client.get_blob_client("mycontainer", "sample.txt")
stream = await blob_client.download_blob()
data = await stream.readall()

Best Practices

  1. Use DefaultAzureCredential instead of connection strings
  2. Use context managers for async clients
  3. Set `overwrite=True` explicitly when re-uploading
  4. Use `max_concurrency` for large file transfers
  5. Prefer `readinto()` over readall() for memory efficiency
  6. Use `walk_blobs()` for hierarchical listing
  7. Set appropriate content types for web-served blobs
