What problem does it solve?

Azure applications often need to store, retrieve, and manage unstructured data in the cloud. This SDK simplifies programmatic interaction with Azure Blob Storage using Python, covering uploads, downloads, listings, metadata handling, and async usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and manage BlobServiceClient, ContainerClient, and BlobClient to perform account-level, container-level, and blob-level operations.
  • Upload, download, list, and manage blob data, including metadata and HTTP headers.
  • Support synchronous and asynchronous workflows, plus authentication with DefaultAzureCredential and other credentials.

Quick Start

Install the Azure Storage Blob SDK for Python and upload a file to a container.
