This class contains information about blobs stored by an application.

This class is similar to BlobInfo; however, this method does not make use of a key, and the information is not persisted in the datastore.

Properties:

  • content_type: The content type of the uploaded file.
  • creation: The creation date of the uploaded file, or when it was uploaded.
  • filename: The file name that the user selected from their machine.
  • size: The size of the uncompressed file.
  • md5_hash: The MD5 hash value of the uploaded file.
  • gs_object_name: The name of the file that was written to Google Cloud Storage, or None if the file was not uploaded to Google Cloud Storage.

All properties are read-only. Attempting to assign a value to a property will raise an AttributeError.
