Azure Blob Storage SDKs

Leverage the power of Azure Blob Storage in your applications using our comprehensive Software Development Kits (SDKs). These SDKs provide a convenient and idiomatic way to interact with Blob Storage services across various programming languages.

Our SDKs simplify common operations such as uploading, downloading, listing, and managing blobs. They handle authentication, request formatting, and response parsing, allowing you to focus on your application logic. We support a wide range of popular languages and platforms, ensuring you can integrate Blob Storage seamlessly into your existing development workflows.

Supported SDKs

Choose the SDK that best fits your development environment:

Key Features

• Authentication: Securely authenticate using Shared Key, Shared Access Signatures (SAS), or Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
• Blob Operations: Upload, download, copy, move, delete, and set/get blob metadata and properties.
• Container Management: Create, list, delete, and set access policies for containers.
• Blob Types: Support for Block Blobs, Append Blobs, and Page Blobs.
• Asynchronous Operations: Non-blocking I/O for improved performance and scalability.
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error codes and exceptions for robust application development.
• Streaming: Efficiently stream large blobs for download and upload.

Getting Started with an SDK

Here's a general overview of how to get started:

1. Install the SDK: Use your language's package manager (e.g., NuGet for .NET, pip for Python, Maven for Java) to install the relevant Azure Blob Storage client library.
2. Obtain Connection Information: Get your Azure Storage account name and key from the Azure portal, or configure Azure AD authentication.
3. Create a Client: Instantiate a BlobServiceClient or equivalent object using your credentials.
4. Perform Operations: Use the client to interact with containers and blobs.

Example: Uploading a Blob with Python

from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient

# Replace with your actual connection string
connect_str = "YOUR_AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING"
container_name = "mycontainer"
local_file_name = "my_local_file.txt"
blob_name = "my_remote_blob.txt"

try:
    # Create the BlobServiceClient object
    blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string(connect_str)

    # Get a client to interact with a specific container
    container_client = blob_service_client.get_container_client(container_name)

    # Create a local file to upload
    with open(local_file_name, "wb") as my_file:
        my_file.write(b"This is the content of my file.")

    # Upload the blob
    with open(local_file_name, "rb") as data:
        blob_client = container_client.upload_blob(name=blob_name, data=data, overwrite=True)

    print(f"Blob '{blob_name}' uploaded successfully.")

except Exception as ex:
    print('Exception occurred: {}'.format(ex))
