BaseBlobService Class

This is the main class managing Blob resources.

The Blob service stores text and binary data as blobs in the cloud. The Blob service offers the following three resources: the storage account, containers, and blobs. Within your storage account, containers provide a way to organize sets of blobs. For more information please see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee691964.aspx

BaseBlobService

Constructor

BaseBlobService(account_name=None, account_key=None, sas_token=None, is_emulated=False, protocol='https', endpoint_suffix='core.windows.net', custom_domain=None, request_session=None, connection_string=None, socket_timeout=None, token_credential=None)

Parameters

Name	Description
account_name	str The storage account name. This is used to authenticate requests signed with an account key and to construct the storage endpoint. It is required unless a connection string is given, or if a custom domain is used with anonymous authentication. Default value: None
account_key	str The storage account key. This is used for shared key authentication. If neither account key or sas token is specified, anonymous access will be used. Default value: None
sas_token	str A shared access signature token to use to authenticate requests instead of the account key. If account key and sas token are both specified, account key will be used to sign. If neither are specified, anonymous access will be used. Default value: None
is_emulated	bool Whether to use the emulator. Defaults to False. If specified, will override all other parameters besides connection string and request session. Default value: False
protocol	str The protocol to use for requests. Defaults to https. Default value: https
endpoint_suffix	str The host base component of the url, minus the account name. Defaults to Azure (core.windows.net). Override this to use the China cloud (core.chinacloudapi.cn). Default value: core.windows.net
custom_domain	str The custom domain to use. This can be set in the Azure Portal. For example, 'www.mydomain.com'. Default value: None
request_session	<xref:requests.Session> The session object to use for http requests. Default value: None
connection_string	str If specified, this will override all other parameters besides request session. See http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-configure-connection-string/ for the connection string format Default value: None
socket_timeout	int If specified, this will override the default socket timeout. The timeout specified is in seconds. See DEFAULT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT in _constants.py for the default value. Default value: None
token_credential	A token credential used to authenticate HTTPS requests. The token value should be updated before its expiration. Default value: None

Variables

Name	Description
MAX_SINGLE_GET_SIZE	int The size of the first range get performed by get_blob_to_* methods if max_connections is greater than 1. Less data will be returned if the blob is smaller than this.
MAX_CHUNK_GET_SIZE	int The size of subsequent range gets performed by get_blob_to_* methods if max_connections is greater than 1 and the blob is larger than MAX_SINGLE_GET_SIZE. Less data will be returned if the remainder of the blob is smaller than this. If this is set to larger than 4MB, content_validation will throw an error if enabled. However, if content_validation is not desired a size greater than 4MB may be optimal. Setting this below 4MB is not recommended.
key_encryption_key	object The key-encryption-key optionally provided by the user. If provided, will be used to encrypt/decrypt in supported methods. For methods requiring decryption, either the key_encryption_key OR the resolver must be provided. If both are provided, the resolver will take precedence. Must implement the following methods for APIs requiring encryption: wrap_key(key)–wraps the specified key (bytes) using an algorithm of the user's choice. Returns the encrypted key as bytes. get_key_wrap_algorithm()–returns the algorithm used to wrap the specified symmetric key. get_kid()–returns a string key id for this key-encryption-key. Must implement the following methods for APIs requiring decryption: unwrap_key(key, algorithm)–returns the unwrapped form of the specified symmetric key using the string-specified algorithm. get_kid()–returns a string key id for this key-encryption-key.
key_resolver_function	kid) (<xref:function> A function to resolve keys optionally provided by the user. If provided, will be used to decrypt in supported methods. For methods requiring decryption, either the key_encryption_key OR the resolver must be provided. If both are provided, the resolver will take precedence. It uses the kid string to return a key-encryption-key implementing the interface defined above.
require_encryption	bool A flag that may be set to ensure that all messages successfully uploaded to the queue and all those downloaded and successfully read from the queue are/were encrypted while on the server. If this flag is set, all required parameters for encryption/decryption must be provided. See the above comments on the key_encryption_key and resolver.

Methods

abort_copy_blob	Aborts a pending copy_blob operation, and leaves a destination blob with zero length and full metadata.
acquire_blob_lease	Requests a new lease. If the blob does not have an active lease, the Blob service creates a lease on the blob and returns a new lease ID.
acquire_container_lease	Requests a new lease. If the container does not have an active lease, the Blob service creates a lease on the container and returns a new lease ID.
batch_delete_blobs	Sends a batch of multiple blob delete requests. The blob delete method deletes the specified blob or snapshot. Note that deleting a blob also deletes all its snapshots. For more information, see https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/delete-blob
break_blob_lease	Breaks the lease, if the blob has an active lease. Once a lease is broken, it cannot be renewed. Any authorized request can break the lease; the request is not required to specify a matching lease ID. When a lease is broken, the lease break period is allowed to elapse, during which time no lease operation except break and release can be performed on the blob. When a lease is successfully broken, the response indicates the interval in seconds until a new lease can be acquired. A lease that has been broken can also be released, in which case another client may immediately acquire the lease on the blob.
break_container_lease	Break the lease, if the container has an active lease. Once a lease is broken, it cannot be renewed. Any authorized request can break the lease; the request is not required to specify a matching lease ID. When a lease is broken, the lease break period is allowed to elapse, during which time no lease operation except break and release can be performed on the container. When a lease is successfully broken, the response indicates the interval in seconds until a new lease can be acquired.
change_blob_lease	Changes the lease ID of an active lease. A change must include the current lease ID and a new lease ID.
change_container_lease	Change the lease ID of an active lease. A change must include the current lease ID and a new lease ID.
copy_blob	Copies a blob asynchronously. This operation returns a copy operation properties object, including a copy ID you can use to check or abort the copy operation. The Blob service copies blobs on a best-effort basis. The source blob for a copy operation may be a block blob, an append blob, or a page blob. If the destination blob already exists, it must be of the same blob type as the source blob. Any existing destination blob will be overwritten. The destination blob cannot be modified while a copy operation is in progress. When copying from a page blob, the Blob service creates a destination page blob of the source blob's length, initially containing all zeroes. Then the source page ranges are enumerated, and non-empty ranges are copied. For a block blob or an append blob, the Blob service creates a committed blob of zero length before returning from this operation. When copying from a block blob, all committed blocks and their block IDs are copied. Uncommitted blocks are not copied. At the end of the copy operation, the destination blob will have the same committed block count as the source. When copying from an append blob, all committed blocks are copied. At the end of the copy operation, the destination blob will have the same committed block count as the source. For all blob types, you can call get_blob_properties on the destination blob to check the status of the copy operation. The final blob will be committed when the copy completes.
create_container	Creates a new container under the specified account. If the container with the same name already exists, the operation fails if fail_on_exist is True.
delete_blob	Marks the specified blob or snapshot for deletion. The blob is later deleted during garbage collection. Note that in order to delete a blob, you must delete all of its snapshots. You can delete both at the same time with the Delete Blob operation. If a delete retention policy is enabled for the service, then this operation soft deletes the blob or snapshot and retains the blob or snapshot for specified number of days. After specified number of days, blob's data is removed from the service during garbage collection. Soft deleted blob or snapshot is accessible through List Blobs API specifying include=Include.Deleted option. Soft-deleted blob or snapshot can be restored using Undelete API.
delete_container	Marks the specified container for deletion. The container and any blobs contained within it are later deleted during garbage collection.
exists	Returns a boolean indicating whether the container exists (if blob_name is None), or otherwise a boolean indicating whether the blob exists.
extract_date_and_request_id
generate_account_shared_access_signature	Generates a shared access signature for the blob service. Use the returned signature with the sas_token parameter of any BlobService.
generate_blob_shared_access_signature	Generates a shared access signature for the blob or one of its snapshots. Use the returned signature with the sas_token parameter of any BlobService.
generate_container_shared_access_signature	Generates a shared access signature for the container. Use the returned signature with the sas_token parameter of any BlobService.
get_blob_account_information	Gets information related to the storage account. The information can also be retrieved if the user has a SAS to a container or blob.
get_blob_metadata	Returns all user-defined metadata for the specified blob or snapshot.
get_blob_properties	Returns all user-defined metadata, standard HTTP properties, and system properties for the blob. It does not return the content of the blob. Returns Blob with BlobProperties and a metadata dict.
get_blob_service_properties	Gets the properties of a storage account's Blob service, including Azure Storage Analytics.
get_blob_service_stats	Retrieves statistics related to replication for the Blob service. It is only available when read-access geo-redundant replication is enabled for the storage account. With geo-redundant replication, Azure Storage maintains your data durable in two locations. In both locations, Azure Storage constantly maintains multiple healthy replicas of your data. The location where you read, create, update, or delete data is the primary storage account location. The primary location exists in the region you choose at the time you create an account via the Azure Management Azure classic portal, for example, North Central US. The location to which your data is replicated is the secondary location. The secondary location is automatically determined based on the location of the primary; it is in a second data center that resides in the same region as the primary location. Read-only access is available from the secondary location, if read-access geo-redundant replication is enabled for your storage account.
get_blob_to_bytes	Downloads a blob as an array of bytes, with automatic chunking and progress notifications. Returns an instance of Blob with properties, metadata, and content.
get_blob_to_path	Downloads a blob to a file path, with automatic chunking and progress notifications. Returns an instance of Blob with properties and metadata.
get_blob_to_stream	Downloads a blob to a stream, with automatic chunking and progress notifications. Returns an instance of Blob with properties and metadata.
get_blob_to_text	Downloads a blob as unicode text, with automatic chunking and progress notifications. Returns an instance of Blob with properties, metadata, and content.
get_container_acl	Gets the permissions for the specified container. The permissions indicate whether container data may be accessed publicly.
get_container_metadata	Returns all user-defined metadata for the specified container.
get_container_properties	Returns all user-defined metadata and system properties for the specified container. The data returned does not include the container's list of blobs.
get_user_delegation_key	Obtain a user delegation key for the purpose of signing SAS tokens. A token credential must be present on the service object for this request to succeed.
list_blob_names	Returns a generator to list the blob names under the specified container. The generator will lazily follow the continuation tokens returned by the service and stop when all blobs have been returned or num_results is reached. If num_results is specified and the account has more than that number of blobs, the generator will have a populated next_marker field once it finishes. This marker can be used to create a new generator if more results are desired.
list_blobs	Returns a generator to list the blobs under the specified container. The generator will lazily follow the continuation tokens returned by the service and stop when all blobs have been returned or num_results is reached. If num_results is specified and the account has more than that number of blobs, the generator will have a populated next_marker field once it finishes. This marker can be used to create a new generator if more results are desired.
list_containers	Returns a generator to list the containers under the specified account. The generator will lazily follow the continuation tokens returned by the service and stop when all containers have been returned or num_results is reached. If num_results is specified and the account has more than that number of containers, the generator will have a populated next_marker field once it finishes. This marker can be used to create a new generator if more results are desired.
make_blob_url	Creates the url to access a blob.
make_container_url	Creates the url to access a container.
release_blob_lease	Releases the lease. The lease may be released if the lease ID specified on the request matches that associated with the blob. Releasing the lease allows another client to immediately acquire the lease for the blob as soon as the release is complete.
release_container_lease	Release the lease. The lease may be released if the lease_id specified matches that associated with the container. Releasing the lease allows another client to immediately acquire the lease for the container as soon as the release is complete.
renew_blob_lease	Renews the lease. The lease can be renewed if the lease ID specified on the request matches that associated with the blob. Note that the lease may be renewed even if it has expired as long as the blob has not been modified or leased again since the expiration of that lease. When you renew a lease, the lease duration clock resets.
renew_container_lease	Renews the lease. The lease can be renewed if the lease ID specified matches that associated with the container. Note that the lease may be renewed even if it has expired as long as the container has not been leased again since the expiration of that lease. When you renew a lease, the lease duration clock resets.
set_blob_metadata	Sets user-defined metadata for the specified blob as one or more name-value pairs.
set_blob_properties	Sets system properties on the blob. If one property is set for the content_settings, all properties will be overriden.
set_blob_service_properties	Sets the properties of a storage account's Blob service, including Azure Storage Analytics. If an element (ex Logging) is left as None, the existing settings on the service for that functionality are preserved.
set_container_acl	Sets the permissions for the specified container or stored access policies that may be used with Shared Access Signatures. The permissions indicate whether blobs in a container may be accessed publicly.
set_container_metadata	Sets one or more user-defined name-value pairs for the specified container. Each call to this operation replaces all existing metadata attached to the container. To remove all metadata from the container, call this operation with no metadata dict.
set_proxy	Sets the proxy server host and port for the HTTP CONNECT Tunnelling.
snapshot_blob	Creates a read-only snapshot of a blob.
undelete_blob	The undelete Blob operation restores the contents and metadata of soft deleted blob or snapshot. Attempting to undelete a blob or snapshot that is not soft deleted will succeed without any changes.

copy_blob

Copies a blob asynchronously. This operation returns a copy operation properties object, including a copy ID you can use to check or abort the copy operation. The Blob service copies blobs on a best-effort basis.

The source blob for a copy operation may be a block blob, an append blob, or a page blob. If the destination blob already exists, it must be of the same blob type as the source blob. Any existing destination blob will be overwritten. The destination blob cannot be modified while a copy operation is in progress.

When copying from a page blob, the Blob service creates a destination page blob of the source blob's length, initially containing all zeroes. Then the source page ranges are enumerated, and non-empty ranges are copied.

For a block blob or an append blob, the Blob service creates a committed blob of zero length before returning from this operation. When copying from a block blob, all committed blocks and their block IDs are copied. Uncommitted blocks are not copied. At the end of the copy operation, the destination blob will have the same committed block count as the source.

When copying from an append blob, all committed blocks are copied. At the end of the copy operation, the destination blob will have the same committed block count as the source.

For all blob types, you can call get_blob_properties on the destination blob to check the status of the copy operation. The final blob will be committed when the copy completes.

copy_blob(container_name, blob_name, copy_source, metadata=None, source_if_modified_since=None, source_if_unmodified_since=None, source_if_match=None, source_if_none_match=None, destination_if_modified_since=None, destination_if_unmodified_since=None, destination_if_match=None, destination_if_none_match=None, destination_lease_id=None, source_lease_id=None, timeout=None)

Parameters

Name	Description
container_name Required	str Name of the destination container. The container must exist.
blob_name Required	str Name of the destination blob. If the destination blob exists, it will be overwritten. Otherwise, it will be created.
copy_source Required	str A URL of up to 2 KB in length that specifies an Azure file or blob. The value should be URL-encoded as it would appear in a request URI. If the source is in another account, the source must either be public or must be authenticated via a shared access signature. If the source is public, no authentication is required. Examples: https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob?snapshot= https://otheraccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob?sastoken
metadata	dict(str, str) Name-value pairs associated with the blob as metadata. If no name-value pairs are specified, the operation will copy the metadata from the source blob or file to the destination blob. If one or more name-value pairs are specified, the destination blob is created with the specified metadata, and metadata is not copied from the source blob or file. Default value: None
source_if_modified_since	datetime A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this conditional header to copy the blob only if the source blob has been modified since the specified date/time. Default value: None
source_if_unmodified_since	datetime A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC.

get_blob_service_stats

Retrieves statistics related to replication for the Blob service. It is only available when read-access geo-redundant replication is enabled for the storage account.

With geo-redundant replication, Azure Storage maintains your data durable in two locations. In both locations, Azure Storage constantly maintains multiple healthy replicas of your data. The location where you read, create, update, or delete data is the primary storage account location. The primary location exists in the region you choose at the time you create an account via the Azure Management Azure classic portal, for example, North Central US. The location to which your data is replicated is the secondary location. The secondary location is automatically determined based on the location of the primary; it is in a second data center that resides in the same region as the primary location. Read-only access is available from the secondary location, if read-access geo-redundant replication is enabled for your storage account.

get_blob_service_stats(timeout=None)

Parameters

Name	Description
timeout	int The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds. Default value: None

Returns

Type	Description
ServiceStats	The blob service stats.

get_blob_to_bytes

Downloads a blob as an array of bytes, with automatic chunking and progress notifications. Returns an instance of Blob with properties, metadata, and content.

get_blob_to_bytes(container_name, blob_name, snapshot=None, start_range=None, end_range=None, validate_content=False, progress_callback=None, max_connections=2, lease_id=None, if_modified_since=None, if_unmodified_since=None, if_match=None, if_none_match=None, timeout=None, cpk=None)

Parameters

Name	Description
container_name Required	str Name of existing container.
blob_name Required	str Name of existing blob.
snapshot	str The snapshot parameter is an opaque DateTime value that, when present, specifies the blob snapshot to retrieve. Default value: None
start_range	int Start of byte range to use for downloading a section of the blob. If no end_range is given, all bytes after the start_range will be downloaded. The start_range and end_range params are inclusive. Ex: start_range=0, end_range=511 will download first 512 bytes of blob. Default value: None
end_range	int End of byte range to use for downloading a section of the blob. If end_range is given, start_range must be provided. The start_range and end_range params are inclusive. Ex: start_range=0, end_range=511 will download first 512 bytes of blob. Default value: None
validate_content	bool If set to true, validates an MD5 hash for each retrieved portion of the blob. This is primarily valuable for detecting bitflips on the wire if using http instead of https as https (the default) will already validate. Note that the service will only return transactional MD5s for chunks 4MB or less so the first get request will be of size self.MAX_CHUNK_GET_SIZE instead of self.MAX_SINGLE_GET_SIZE. If self.MAX_CHUNK_GET_SIZE was set to greater than 4MB an error will be thrown. As computing the MD5 takes processing time and more requests will need to be done due to the reduced chunk size there may be some increase in latency. Default value: False
progress_callback	<xref:func>(<xref:current>, <xref:total>) Callback for progress with signature function(current, total) where current is the number of bytes transfered so far, and total is the size of the blob if known. Default value: None
max_connections	int If set to 2 or greater, an initial get will be done for the first self.MAX_SINGLE_GET_SIZE bytes of the blob. If this is the entire blob, the method returns at this point. If it is not, it will download the remaining data parallel using the number of threads equal to max_connections. Each chunk will be of size self.MAX_CHUNK_GET_SIZE. If set to 1, a single large get request will be done. This is not generally recommended but available if very few threads should be used, network requests are very expensive, or a non-seekable stream prevents parallel download. This may also be useful if many blobs are expected to be empty as an extra request is required for empty blobs if max_connections is greater than 1. Default value: 2
lease_id	str Required if the blob has an active lease. Default value: None
if_modified_since	datetime A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has been modified since the specified time. Default value: None
if_unmodified_since	datetime A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has not been modified since the specified date/time. Default value: None
if_match	str An ETag value, or the wildcard character (*). Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource's ETag matches the value specified. Default value: None
if_none_match	str An ETag value, or the wildcard character (). Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource's ETag does not match the value specified. Specify the wildcard character () to perform the operation only if the resource does not exist, and fail the operation if it does exist. Default value: None
cpk	CustomerProvidedEncryptionKey Decrypts the data on the service-side with the given key. Use of customer-provided keys must be done over HTTPS. As the encryption key itself is provided in the request, a secure connection must be established to transfer the key. Default value: None
timeout	int The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds. This method may make multiple calls to the Azure service and the timeout will apply to each call individually. Default value: None

Returns

Type	Description
Blob	A Blob with properties and metadata. If max_connections is greater than 1, the content_md5 (if set on the blob) will not be returned. If you require this value, either use get_blob_properties or set max_connections to 1.

get_blob_to_path

Downloads a blob to a file path, with automatic chunking and progress notifications. Returns an instance of Blob with properties and metadata.

get_blob_to_path(container_name, blob_name, file_path, open_mode='wb', snapshot=None, start_range=None, end_range=None, validate_content=False, progress_callback=None, max_connections=2, lease_id=None, if_modified_since=None, if_unmodified_since=None, if_match=None, if_none_match=None, timeout=None, cpk=None)

Parameters

Name	Description
container_name Required	str Name of existing container.
blob_name Required	str Name of existing blob.
file_path Required	str Path of file to write out to.
open_mode	str Mode to use when opening the file. Note that specifying append only open_mode prevents parallel download. So, max_connections must be set to 1 if this open_mode is used. Default value: wb
snapshot	str The snapshot parameter is an opaque DateTime value that, when present, specifies the blob snapshot to retrieve. Default value: None
start_range	int Start of byte range to use for downloading a section of the blob. If no end_range is given, all bytes after the start_range will be downloaded. The start_range and end_range params are inclusive. Ex: start_range=0, end_range=511 will download first 512 bytes of blob. Default value: None
end_range	int End of byte range to use for downloading a section of the blob. If end_range is given, start_range must be provided. The start_range and end_range params are inclusive. Ex: start_range=0, end_range=511 will download first 512 bytes of blob. Default value: None

This may also be useful if many blobs are expected to be empty as an extra request is required for empty blobs if max_connections is greater than 1. Default value: 2
lease_id	str Required if the blob has an active lease. Default value: None
if_modified_since	datetime A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has been modified since the specified time. Default value: None
if_unmodified_since	datetime A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC. If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource has not been modified since the specified date/time. Default value: None
if_match	str An ETag value, or the wildcard character (*). Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource's ETag matches the value specified. Default value: None
if_none_match	str An ETag value, or the wildcard character (). Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource's ETag does not match the value specified. Specify the wildcard character () to perform the operation only if the resource does not exist, and fail the operation if it does exist. Default value: None
cpk	CustomerProvidedEncryptionKey Decrypts the data on the service-side with the given key. Use of customer-provided keys must be done over HTTPS. As the encryption key itself is provided in the request, a secure connection must be established to transfer the key. Default value: None
timeout	int The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds. This method may make multiple calls to the Azure service and the timeout will apply to each call individually. Default value: None

Returns

Type	Description
Blob	A Blob with properties and metadata. If max_connections is greater than 1, the content_md5 (if set on the blob) will not be returned. If you require this value, either use get_blob_properties or set max_connections to 1.

get_blob_to_stream

Downloads a blob to a stream, with automatic chunking and progress notifications. Returns an instance of Blob with properties and metadata.

get_blob_to_stream(container_name, blob_name, stream, snapshot=None, start_range=None, end_range=None, validate_content=False, progress_callback=None, max_connections=2, lease_id=None, if_modified_since=None, if_unmodified_since=None, if_match=None, if_none_match=None, timeout=None, cpk=None)

Parameters

Name	Description
container_name Required	str Name of existing container.
blob_name Required	str Name of existing blob.
stream Required	IOBase Opened stream to write to.
snapshot	str The snapshot parameter is an opaque DateTime value that, when present, specifies the blob snapshot to retrieve. Default value: None
start_range	int Start of byte range to use for downloading a section of the blob. If no end_range is given, all bytes after the start_range will be downloaded. The start_range and end_range params are inclusive. Ex: start_range=0, end_range=511 will download first 512 bytes of blob. Default value: None
end_range	int End of byte range to use for downloading a section of the blob. If end_range is given, start_range must be provided. The start_range and end_range params are inclusive. Ex: start_range=0, end_range=511 will download first 512 bytes of blob. Default value: None
validate_content	bool If set to true, validates an MD5 hash for each retrieved portion of the blob. This is primarily valuable for detecting bitflips on the wire if using http instead of https as https (the default) will already validate. Note that the service will only return transactional MD5s for chunks 4MB or less so the first get request will be of size self.MAX_CHUNK_GET_SIZE instead of self.MAX_SINGLE_GET_SIZE. If self.MAX_CHUNK_GET_SIZE was set to greater than 4MB an error will be thrown. As computing the MD5 takes processing time and more requests will need to be done due to the reduced chunk size there may be some increase in latency. Default value: False
progress_callback	<xref:func>(<xref:current>, <xref:total>) Callback for progress with signature function(current, total) where current is the number of bytes transfered so far, and total is the size of the blob if known. Default value: None
max_connections	int If set to 2 or greater, an initial get will be done for the first self.MAX_SINGLE_GET_SIZE bytes of the blob. If this is the entire blob, the method returns at this point. If it is not, it will download the remaining data parallel using the number of threads equal to max_connections. Each chunk will be of size self.MAX_CHUNK_GET_SIZE. If set to 1, a single large get request will be done. This is not generally recommended but available if very few threads should be used, network requests are very expensive, or a non-seekable stream prevents parallel download. This may also be useful if many blobs are expected to be empty as an extra request is required for empty blobs if max_connections is greater than 1. Default value: 2
lease_id	str Required if the blob has an active lease. Default value: None
if_modified_since	datetime A DateTime value. Azure expects the date value passed in to be UTC. If timezone is included, any non-UTC datetimes will be converted to UTC.
