Class Blob (1.40.0)

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, if_source_generation_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
NameDescription
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. See: configuring_timeouts

if_generation_match long

(Optional) Makes the operation conditional on whether the destination object's current generation matches the given value. Setting to 0 makes the operation succeed only if there are no live versions of the object. .. note:: In a previous version, this argument worked identically to the if_source_generation_match argument. For backwards-compatibility reasons, if a list is passed in, this argument will behave like if_source_generation_match and also issue a DeprecationWarning.

if_metageneration_match long

(Optional) Makes the operation conditional on whether the destination object's current metageneration matches the given value. If a list of long is passed in, no match operation will be performed. (Deprecated: type(list of long) is supported for backwards-compatability reasons only.)

if_source_generation_match list of long

(Optional) Makes the operation conditional on whether the current generation of each source blob matches the corresponding generation. 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. See: configuring_retries .. rubric:: Example Compose blobs using source 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_source_generation_match = [None] * len(blobs) >>> if_source_generation_match[0] = "123" # precondition for "blob-name-1" >>> composed_blob = bucket.blob("composed-name") >>> composed_blob.compose(blobs, if_source_generation_match=if_source_generation_match)

create_resumable_upload_session

create_resumable_upload_session(content_type=None, size=None, origin=None, client=None, timeout=60, checksum=None, if_generation_match=None, if_generation_not_match=None, if_metageneration_match=None, if_metageneration_not_match=None, retry=<google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy object>)

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
NameDescription
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 amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. See: configuring_timeouts

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.

if_generation_match long

(Optional) See :ref:using-if-generation-match

if_generation_not_match long

(Optional) See :ref:using-if-generation-not-match

if_metageneration_match long

(Optional) See :ref:using-if-metageneration-match

if_metageneration_not_match long

(Optional) See :ref:using-if-metageneration-not-match

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_generation_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. Media operations (downloads and uploads) do not support non-default predicates in a Retry object. The default will always be used. Other configuration changes for Retry objects such as delays and deadlines are respected.

Exceptions
TypeDescription
GoogleCloudErrorif the session creation response returns an error status.
Returns
TypeDescription
strThe resumable upload session URL. The upload can be completed by making an HTTP PUT request with the file's contents.

generate_signed_url

generate_signed_url(
    expiration=None,
    api_access_endpoint="https://storage.googleapis.com",
    method="GET",
    content_md5=None,
    content_type=None,

    access_token=None,
    virtual_hosted_style=False,
    bucket_bound_hostname=None,
    scheme="http",
)

Generates a signed URL for this blob.

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
