SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Many Python applications need a simple, consistent way to upload, download, list, and manage unstructured files in Azure Blob Storage while handling authentication, performance, and metadata concerns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Upload and download blobs from local files, streams, or in-memory bytes with overwrite control and chunking for large files.
  • Manage containers, set metadata and HTTP headers, generate SAS tokens for delegated access, and perform hierarchical listings for virtual directories.
  • Support both synchronous and asynchronous clients using DefaultAzureCredential for secure authentication, suitable for backups, media delivery, log archival, and integration pipelines.

Quick Start

Use the azure-storage-blob-py skill to upload a local file named data.csv into the mycontainer container and verify it appears in the container listing.
