    Concatenate source blobs into this one.

    If user_project is set on the bucket, bills the API request to that project.

    Parameters
    Name
    Description
    sources
    list of Blob

    Blobs whose contents will be composed into this blob.

    client
    Client

    (Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the client stored on the blob's bucket.

    timeout
    float or tuple

    (Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. Can also be passed as a tuple (connect_timeout, read_timeout). See requests.Session.request documentation for details.

    if_generation_match
    list of long

    (Optional) Make the operation conditional on whether the blob's current generation matches the given value. Setting to 0 makes the operation succeed only if there are no live versions of the blob. The list must match sources item-to-item.

    if_metageneration_match
    list of long

    (Optional) Make the operation conditional on whether the blob's current metageneration matches the given value. The list must match sources item-to-item.

    retry
    google.api_core.retry.Retry or google.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. A google.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_metageneration_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. .. rubric:: Example Compose blobs using generation match preconditions. >>> from google.cloud import storage >>> client = storage.Client() >>> bucket = client.bucket("bucket-name") >>> blobs = [bucket.blob("blob-name-1"), bucket.blob("blob-name-2")] >>> if_generation_match = [None] * len(blobs) >>> if_generation_match[0] = "123" # precondition for "blob-name-1" >>> composed_blob = bucket.blob("composed-name") >>> composed_blob.compose(blobs, if_generation_match)

 )

    Create a resumable upload session.

    Resumable upload sessions allow you to start an upload session from one client and complete the session in another. This method is called by the initiator to set the metadata and limits. The initiator then passes the session URL to the client that will upload the binary data. The client performs a PUT request on the session URL to complete the upload. This process allows untrusted clients to upload to an access-controlled bucket. For more details, see the documentation on signed URLs _.

    .. _documentation on signed URLs: https://cloud.google.com/storage/ docs/access-control/signed-urls#signing-resumable

    The content type of the upload will be determined in order of 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')
    See the object versioning <https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/object-versioning> and lifecycle <https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/lifecycle> API documents for details.

    If encryption_key is set, the blob will be encrypted with a customer-supplied _ encryption key.

    If user_project is set on the bucket, bills the API request to 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 client stored on the blob's bucket.

    timeout
    float or tuple

    (Optional) The number of seconds the transport should wait for the server response. Depending on the retry strategy, a request may be repeated several times using the same timeout each time. Can also be passed as a tuple (connect_timeout, read_timeout). See requests.Session.request documentation for details.

    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.

    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.

    Determines whether or not this blob exists.

    If user_project is set on the bucket, bills the API request to that project.

    Parameters
    Name
    Description
    client
    Client

    (Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the client stored on the blob's bucket.

    timeout
    float or tuple

    (Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the server response. Can also be passed as a tuple (connect_timeout, read_timeout). See requests.Session.request documentation for details.

    if_generation_match
    long

    (Optional) Make the operation conditional on whether the blob's current generation matches the given value. Setting to 0 makes the operation succeed only if there are no live versions of the blob.

    if_generation_not_match
    long

    (Optional) Make the operation conditional on whether the blob's current generation does not match the given value. If no live blob exists, the precondition fails. Setting to 0 makes the operation succeed only if there is a live version of the blob.

    if_metageneration_match
    long

    (Optional) Make the operation conditional on whether the blob's current metageneration matches the given value.

    if_metageneration_not_match
    long

    (Optional) Make the operation conditional on whether the blob's current metageneration does not match the given value.

    retry
    google.api_core.retry.Retry or google.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. A google.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_metageneration_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.

    Returns
    Type
    Description
    bool
    True if the blob exists in Cloud Storage.

    from_string

      from_string 
 ( 
 uri 
 , 
 client 
 = 
 None 
 )

    Get a constructor for blob object by URI.

    Parameters
    Name
    Description
    uri
    str

    The blob uri pass to get blob object.

    client
    Client

    (Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the client stored on the blob's bucket.

    Returns
    Type
    Description
    Blob
    The blob object created. Example: Get a constructor for blob object by URI.. >>> from google.cloud import storage >>> from google.cloud.storage.blob import Blob >>> client = storage.Client() >>> blob = Blob.from_string("gs://bucket/object")

    Generates a signed URL for this blob.

    If you have a blob that you want to allow access to for a set amount of time, you can use this method to generate a URL that is only valid within a certain time period.

    If bucket_bound_hostname is set as an argument of api_access_endpoint , https works only if using a CDN .

    .. rubric:: Example

    Generates a signed URL for this blob using bucket_bound_hostname and scheme.

    from google.cloud import storage client = storage.Client() bucket = client.get_bucket('my-bucket-name') blob = bucket.get_blob('my-blob-name') url = blob.generate_signed_url(expiration='url-expiration-time', bucket_bound_hostname='mydomain.tld', version='v4') url = blob.generate_signed_url(expiration='url-expiration-time', bucket_bound_hostname='mydomain.tld', version='v4',scheme='https') # If using CDN

    This is particularly useful if you don't want publicly accessible blobs, but don't want to require users to explicitly log in.

    Parameters
    Name
    Description
    expiration
    Union[Integer, datetime.datetime, datetime.timedelta]

    Point in time when the signed URL should expire. If a datetime instance is passed without an explicit tzinfo set, it will be assumed to be UTC .

    api_access_endpoint
    str

    (Optional) URI base.

    method
    str

    The HTTP verb that will be used when requesting the URL.

    content_md5
    str

    (Optional) The MD5 hash of the object referenced by resource .

    content_type
    str

    (Optional) The content type of the object referenced by resource .

    response_disposition
    str

    (Optional) Content disposition of responses to requests for the signed URL. For example, to enable the signed URL to initiate a file of blog.png , use the value 'attachment; filename=blob.png' .

    response_type
    str

    (Optional) Content type of responses to requests for the signed URL. Ignored if content_type is set on object/blob metadata.

    generation
    str

    (Optional) A value that indicates which generation of the resource to fetch.

    headers
    dict

    (Optional) Additional HTTP headers to be included as part of the signed URLs. See: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/xml-api/reference-headers Requests using the signed URL must pass the specified header (name and value) with each request for the URL.

    query_parameters
    dict

    (Optional) Additional query parameters to be included as part of the signed URLs. See: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/xml-api/reference-headers#query

    client
    Client

    (Optional) The client to use. If not passed, falls back to the client stored on the blob's bucket.

    credentials
    google.auth.credentials.Credentials

    (Optional) The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify this application to the service. If none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment.

    version
    str

    (Optional) The version of signed credential to create. Must be one of 'v2' 'v4'.

    service_account_email
    str

    (Optional) E-mail address of the service account.

    access_token
    str

    (Optional) Access token for a service account.
