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,
    response_disposition=None,
    response_type=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.

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
NameDescription
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.

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.

headers dict

(Optional) Additional HTTP headers to be included as part of the signed URLs. See: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/xml-api/reference-headers Requests using the signed URL must pass the specified header (name and value) with each request for the URL.

query_parameters dict

(Optional) Additional query parameters to be included as part of the signed URLs. See: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/xml-api/reference-headers#query

client Client

(Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the client stored on the blob's bucket.

credentials google.auth.credentials.Credentials

(Optional) The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify this application to the service. If none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment.

Parameters
NameDescription
client Client

(Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the client stored on the current object's bucket.

requested_policy_version int or NoneType

(Optional) The version of IAM policies to request. If a policy with a condition is requested without setting this, the server will return an error. This must be set to a value of 3 to retrieve IAM policies containing conditions. This is to prevent client code that isn't aware of IAM conditions from interpreting and modifying policies incorrectly. The service might return a policy with version lower than the one that was requested, based on the feature syntax in the policy fetched.

open

open(
    mode="r",
    chunk_size=None,
    ignore_flush=None,
    encoding=None,
    errors=None,
    newline=None,
    **kwargs
)

Create a file handler for file-like I/O to or from this blob.

This method can be used as a context manager, just like Python's built-in 'open()' function.

While reading, as with other read methods, if blob.generation is not set the most recent blob generation will be used. Because the file-like IO reader downloads progressively in chunks, this could result in data from multiple versions being mixed together. If this is a concern, use either bucket.get_blob(), or blob.reload(), which will download the latest generation number and set it; or, if the generation is known, set it manually, for instance with bucket.blob(generation=123456).

Checksumming (hashing) to verify data integrity is disabled for reads using this feature because reads are implemented using request ranges, which do not provide checksums to validate. See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/hashes-etags for details.

Parameters
NameDescription
mode str

(Optional) A mode string, as per standard Python open() semantics.The first character must be 'r', to open the blob for reading, or 'w' to open it for writing. The second character, if present, must be 't' for (unicode) text mode, or 'b' for bytes mode. If the second character is omitted, text mode is the default.

chunk_size long

(Optional) For reads, the minimum number of bytes to read at a time. If fewer bytes than the chunk_size are requested, the remainder is buffered. For writes, the maximum number of bytes to buffer before sending data to the server, and the size of each request when data is sent. Writes are implemented as a "resumable upload", so chunk_size for writes must be exactly a multiple of 256KiB as with other resumable uploads. The default is 40 MiB.

ignore_flush bool

(Optional) For non text-mode writes, makes flush() do nothing instead of raising an error. flush() without closing is not supported by the remote service and therefore calling it normally results in io.UnsupportedOperation. However, that behavior is incompatible with some consumers and wrappers of file objects in Python, such as zipfile.ZipFile or io.TextIOWrapper. Setting ignore_flush will cause flush() to successfully do nothing, for compatibility with those contexts. The correct way to actually flush data to the remote server is to close() (using a context manager, such as in the example, will cause this to happen automatically).

encoding str

(Optional) For text mode only, the name of the encoding that the stream will be decoded or encoded with. If omitted, it defaults to locale.getpreferredencoding(False).

errors str

(Optional) For text mode only, an optional string that specifies how encoding and decoding errors are to be handled. Pass 'strict' to raise a ValueError exception if there is an encoding error (the default of None has the same effect), or pass 'ignore' to ignore errors. (Note that ignoring encoding errors can lead to data loss.) Other more rarely-used options are also available; see the Python 'io' module documentation for 'io.TextIOWrapper' for a complete list.

newline str

(Optional) For text mode only, controls how line endings are handled. It can be None, '', '\n', '\r', and '\r\n'. If None, reads use "universal newline mode" and writes use the system default. See the Python 'io' module documentation for 'io.TextIOWrapper' for details.

upload_from_file

upload_from_file(file_obj, rewind=False, size=None, content_type=None, num_retries=None, client=None, predefined_acl=None, if_generation_match=None, if_generation_not_match=None, if_metageneration_match=None, if_metageneration_not_match=None, timeout=60, checksum=None, retry=<google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy object>)

Upload the contents of this blob from a file-like object.

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 and lifecycle API documents for details.

Uploading a file with a customer-supplied encryption key:

.. literalinclude:: snippets.py :start-after: START upload_from_file :end-before: END upload_from_file :dedent: 4

The encryption_key should be a str or bytes with a length of at least 32.

If the size of the data to be uploaded exceeds 8 MB a resumable media request will be used, otherwise the content and the metadata will be uploaded in a single multipart upload request.

For more fine-grained over the upload process, check out google-resumable-media.

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

Parameters
NameDescription
file_obj file

A file handle opened in binary mode for reading.

rewind bool

If True, seek to the beginning of the file handle before writing the file to Cloud Storage.

size int

The number of bytes to be uploaded (which will be read from file_obj). If not provided, the upload will be concluded once file_obj is exhausted.

content_type str

(Optional) Type of content being uploaded.

num_retries int

Number of upload retries. By default, only uploads with if_generation_match set will be retried, as uploads without the argument are not guaranteed to be idempotent. Setting num_retries will override this default behavior and guarantee retries even when if_generation_match is not set. (Deprecated: This argument will be removed in a future release.)

client Client

(Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the client stored on the blob's bucket.

predefined_acl str

(Optional) Predefined access control list

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

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. If the upload is completed in a single request, the checksum will be entirely precomputed and the remote server will handle verification and error handling. If the upload is too large and must be transmitted in multiple requests, the checksum will be incrementally computed and the client will handle verification and error handling, raising google.resumable_media.common.DataCorruption on a mismatch and attempting to delete the corrupted file. Supported values are "md5", "crc32c" and None. The default is None.

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

  • The value stored on the current blob
  • The value given by mimetypes.guess_type
  • 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_metageneration_match long

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

if_metageneration_not_match long

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

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. If the upload is completed in a single request, the checksum will be entirely precomputed and the remote server will handle verification and error handling. If the upload is too large and must be transmitted in multiple requests, the checksum will be incrementally computed and the client will handle verification and error handling, raising google.resumable_media.common.DataCorruption on a mismatch and attempting to delete the corrupted file. Supported values are "md5", "crc32c" and None. The default is None.

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.

upload_from_string

upload_from_string(data, content_type='text/plain', num_retries=None, client=None, predefined_acl=None, if_generation_match=None, if_generation_not_match=None, if_metageneration_match=None, if_metageneration_not_match=None, timeout=60, checksum=None, retry=<google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy object>)

Upload contents of this blob from the provided string.

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

Parameters
NameDescription
data bytes or str

The data to store in this blob. If the value is text, it will be encoded as UTF-8.

content_type str

(Optional) Type of content being uploaded. Defaults to 'text/plain'.

num_retries int

Number of upload retries. By default, only uploads with if_generation_match set will be retried, as uploads without the argument are not guaranteed to be idempotent. Setting num_retries will override this default behavior and guarantee retries even when if_generation_match is not set. (Deprecated: This argument will be removed in a future release.)

client Client

(Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the client stored on the blob's bucket.

predefined_acl str

(Optional) Predefined access control list

if_generation_match long
