python azure blob Archives

You can use python SDK in order to retrieve blob files from a storage account on azure. First you will need to get your connection string for the storage account from the access keys section.

Then you can execute the below python code.

	import os, uuid
	from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
	from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient, BlobClient, ContainerClient

	connection_string = "CONNECTION_STRING"
	service = BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string(connection_string)

	try:
	account_info = service.get_account_information()
	print('Using Storage SKU: {}'.format(account_info['sku_name']))
	container_client = service.get_container_client("files")
	try:
	for blob in container_client.list_blobs():
	print("Found blob: ", blob.name)
	except ResourceNotFoundError:
	print("Container not found.")

	except Exception as ex:
	print('Exception:')
	print(ex)

As seen from the screenshots, I have a container named files

And inside the container I have a test.txt file.

By running the python script (in my case I added on a container) you will get the files inside the blob container.
