Class Blob (1.34.0)

Blob(
    name,
    bucket,
    chunk_size=None,
    encryption_key=None,
    kms_key_name=None,
    generation=None,
)

Methods

Blob

Blob(
    name,
    bucket,
    chunk_size=None,
    encryption_key=None,
    kms_key_name=None,
    generation=None,
)

property name Get the blob's name.

compose

compose(sources, client=None, timeout=60, if_generation_match=None, if_metageneration_match=None, retry=<google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy object>)

Concatenate source blobs into this one.

If user_project is set on the bucket, bills the API request to that project.

Parameters
Name	Description
`sources`	`list of Blob` Blobs whose contents will be composed into this blob.
`client`	`Client` (Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the `client` stored on the blob's bucket.
`timeout`	`float or tuple` (Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. Can also be passed as a tuple (connect_timeout, read_timeout). See `requests.Session.request` documentation for details.
`if_generation_match`	`list of long` (Optional) Make the operation conditional on whether the blob's current generation matches the given value. Setting to 0 makes the operation succeed only if there are no live versions of the blob. The list must match `sources` item-to-item.
`if_metageneration_match`	`list of long` (Optional) Make the operation conditional on whether the blob's current metageneration matches the given value. The list must match `sources` item-to-item.
`retry`	`google.api_core.retry.Retry or google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy` (Optional) How to retry the RPC. A None value will disable retries. A google.api_core.retry.Retry value will enable retries, and the object will define retriable response codes and errors and configure backoff and timeout options. A google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy value wraps a Retry object and activates it only if certain conditions are met. This class exists to provide safe defaults for RPC calls that are not technically safe to retry normally (due to potential data duplication or other side-effects) but become safe to retry if a condition such as if_metageneration_match is set. See the retry.py source code and docstrings in this package (google.cloud.storage.retry) for information on retry types and how to configure them. .. rubric:: Example Compose blobs using generation match preconditions. >>> from google.cloud import storage >>> client = storage.Client() >>> bucket = client.bucket("bucket-name") >>> blobs = [bucket.blob("blob-name-1"), bucket.blob("blob-name-2")] >>> if_generation_match = [None] * len(blobs) >>> if_generation_match[0] = "123" # precondition for "blob-name-1" >>> composed_blob = bucket.blob("composed-name") >>> composed_blob.compose(blobs, if_generation_match)

create_resumable_upload_session

create_resumable_upload_session(
    content_type=None, size=None, origin=None, client=None, timeout=60, checksum=None
)

Create a resumable upload session.

Resumable upload sessions allow you to start an upload session from one client and complete the session in another. This method is called by the initiator to set the metadata and limits. The initiator then passes the session URL to the client that will upload the binary data. The client performs a PUT request on the session URL to complete the upload. This process allows untrusted clients to upload to an access-controlled bucket. For more details, see the documentation on signed URLs_.

.. _documentation on signed URLs: https://cloud.google.com/storage/ docs/access-control/signed-urls#signing-resumable

The content type of the upload will be determined in order of precedence:

The value passed in to this method (if not :data:None)
The value stored on the current blob
The default value ('application/octet-stream')

See the

object versioning
   <https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/object-versioning>

and lifecycle <https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/lifecycle> API documents for details.

If encryption_key is set, the blob will be encrypted with a customer-supplied_ encryption key.

If user_project is set on the bucket, bills the API request to that project.

Parameters
Name	Description
`size`	`int` (Optional) The maximum number of bytes that can be uploaded using this session. If the size is not known when creating the session, this should be left blank.
`content_type`	`str` (Optional) Type of content being uploaded.
`origin`	`str` (Optional) If set, the upload can only be completed by a user-agent that uploads from the given origin. This can be useful when passing the session to a web client.
`client`	`Client` (Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the `client` stored on the blob's bucket.
`timeout`	`float or tuple` (Optional) The number of seconds the transport should wait for the server response. Depending on the retry strategy, a request may be repeated several times using the same timeout each time. Can also be passed as a tuple (connect_timeout, read_timeout). See `requests.Session.request` documentation for details.
`checksum`	`str` (Optional) The type of checksum to compute to verify the integrity of the object. After the upload is complete, the server-computed checksum of the resulting object will be checked and google.resumable_media.common.DataCorruption will be raised on a mismatch. On a validation failure, the client will attempt to delete the uploaded object automatically. Supported values are "md5", "crc32c" and None. The default is None.

Exceptions
Type	Description
`GoogleCloudError`	if the session creation response returns an error status.

Returns
Type	Description
`str`	The resumable upload session URL. The upload can be completed by making an HTTP PUT request with the file's contents.

delete

Parameters
Name	Description
`uri`	`str` The blob uri pass to get blob object.
`client`	`Client` (Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the `client` stored on the blob's bucket.

Returns

generate_signed_url

generate_signed_url(
    expiration=None,
    api_access_endpoint="https://storage.googleapis.com",
    method="GET",
    content_md5=None,
    content_type=None,
    response_disposition=None,
    response_type=None,
    generation=None,
    headers=None,
    query_parameters=None,
    client=None,
    credentials=None,
    version=None,
    service_account_email=None,
    access_token=None,
    virtual_hosted_style=False,
    bucket_bound_hostname=None,
    scheme="http",
)

Generates a signed URL for this blob.

Note: If you are on Google Compute Engine, you can't generate a signed URL using GCE service account. Follow Issue 50_ for updates on this. If you'd like to be able to generate a signed URL from GCE, you can use a standard service account from a JSON file rather than a GCE service account.

If you have a blob that you want to allow access to for a set amount of time, you can use this method to generate a URL that is only valid within a certain time period.

If bucket_bound_hostname is set as an argument of api_access_endpoint, https works only if using a CDN.

.. rubric:: Example

Generates a signed URL for this blob using bucket_bound_hostname and scheme.

from google.cloud import storage client = storage.Client() bucket = client.get_bucket('my-bucket-name') blob = bucket.get_blob('my-blob-name') url = blob.generate_signed_url(expiration='url-expiration-time', bucket_bound_hostname='mydomain.tld', version='v4') url = blob.generate_signed_url(expiration='url-expiration-time', bucket_bound_hostname='mydomain.tld', version='v4',scheme='https') # If using CDN

This is particularly useful if you don't want publicly accessible blobs, but don't want to require users to explicitly log in.

Parameters
Name	Description
`expiration`	`Union[Integer, datetime.datetime, datetime.timedelta]` Point in time when the signed URL should expire. If a `datetime` instance is passed without an explicit `tzinfo` set, it will be assumed to be `UTC`.

`method`	`str` The HTTP verb that will be used when requesting the URL.
`content_md5`	`str` (Optional) The MD5 hash of the object referenced by `resource`.
`content_type`	`str` (Optional) The content type of the object referenced by `resource`.
`response_disposition`	`str` (Optional) Content disposition of responses to requests for the signed URL. For example, to enable the signed URL to initiate a file of `blog.png`, use the value `'attachment; filename=blob.png'`.
`response_type`	`str` (Optional) Content type of responses to requests for the signed URL. Ignored if content_type is set on object/blob metadata.
`generation`	`str` (Optional) A value that indicates which generation of the resource to fetch.
