Methods
Blob
Blob(name,bucket,chunk_size=None,encryption_key=None,kms_key_name=None,generation=None,)propertyname 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.ConditionalRetryPolicyobject>)Concatenate source blobs into this one.
Ifuser_project is set on the bucket, bills the API requestto that project.
SeeAPI reference docsand acode sample.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| Name | Description |
sources | list ofBlobs whose contents will be composed into this blob. |
client | Client(Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the |
timeout | float or tuple(Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. See: |
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_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 |
retry | google.api_core.retry.Retry orgoogle.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicy(Optional) How to retry the RPC. See: |
create_resumable_upload_session
create_resumable_upload_session(content_type=None,size=None,origin=None,client=None,timeout=60,checksum=None,predefined_acl=None,if_generation_match=None,if_generation_not_match=None,if_metageneration_match=None,if_metageneration_not_match=None,retry=<google.cloud.storage.retry.ConditionalRetryPolicyobject>)Create a resumable upload session.
Resumable upload sessions allow you to start an upload session fromone client and complete the session in another. This method is calledby the initiator to set the metadata and limits. The initiator thenpasses the session URL to the client that will upload the binary data.The client performs a PUT request on the session URL to complete theupload. This process allows untrusted clients to upload to anaccess-controlled bucket.
For more details, see thedocumentation onsigned URLs.
The content type of the upload will be determined in orderof 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')
object versioning andlifecycle API documents for details.Ifencryption_key is set, the blob will be encrypted withacustomer-suppliedencryption key.
Ifuser_project is set on the bucket, bills the API requestto 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 |
timeout | float or tuple(Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. See: |
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. |
predefined_acl | str(Optional) Predefined access control list |
if_generation_match | long(Optional) See :ref: |
if_generation_not_match | long(Optional) See :ref: |
if_metageneration_match | long(Optional) See :ref: |
if_metageneration_not_match | long(Optional) See :ref: |
retry | google.api_core.retry.Retry orgoogle.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. Agoogle.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 | |
|---|---|
| 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. |

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. |

|---|---|
| Name | Description |
client | Client(Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the |
requested_policy_version | int or(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'sbuilt-in 'open()' function.
While reading, as with other read methods, if blob.generation is not setthe most recent blob generation will be used. Because the file-like IOreader downloads progressively in chunks, this could result in data frommultiple versions being mixed together. If this is a concern, useeither bucket.get_blob(), or blob.reload(), which will download thelatest generation number and set it; or, if the generation is known, setit manually, for instance with bucket.blob(generation=123456).
Checksumming (hashing) to verify data integrity is disabled for readsusing this feature because reads are implemented using request ranges,which do not provide checksums to validate. Seehttps://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/hashes-etags for details.
See acode sample.
Keyword arguments to pass to the underlying API calls.For both uploads and downloads, the following arguments aresupported:
if_generation_matchif_generation_not_matchif_metageneration_matchif_metageneration_not_matchtimeoutretry
For downloads only, the following additional arguments are supported:
raw_download
For uploads only, the following additional arguments are supported:
content_typenum_retriespredefined_aclchecksum
num_retries is supported for backwards-compatibilityreasons only; please useretry with a Retry object orConditionalRetryPolicy instead.| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| Name | Description |
mode | str(Optional) A mode string, as per standard Python |
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. |

The content type of the upload will be determined in orderof 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')
object versioning andlifecycle API documents for details.If the size of the data to be uploaded exceeds 8 MB a resumable mediarequest will be used, otherwise the content and the metadata will beuploaded in a single multipart upload request.
For more fine-grained over the upload process, check outgoogle-resumable-media.
Ifuser_project is set on the bucket, bills the API requestto that project.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| Name | Description |
file_obj | fileA file handle opened in binary mode for reading. |
rewind | boolIf True, seek to the beginning of the file handle before writing the file to Cloud Storage. |
size | intThe number of bytes to be uploaded (which will be read from |
content_type | str(Optional) Type of content being uploaded. |
num_retries | intNumber 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.) |

timeout | float or tuple(Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. See: |
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 orgoogle.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. Agoogle.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.

See theobject versioning andlifecycle API documents for details.Ifuser_project is set on the bucket, bills the API requestto that project.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| Name | Description |
data | bytes or strThe 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 |
num_retries | intNumber 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 |
predefined_acl | str(Optional) Predefined access control list |
if_generation_match | long(Optional) See :ref: |
if_generation_not_match | long(Optional) See :ref: |
if_metageneration_match | long(Optional) See :ref: |
if_metageneration_not_match | long(Optional) See :ref: |
timeout | float or tuple(Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. See: |
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 orgoogle.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. Agoogle.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. |
