Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
account_url Optional[str]

The URL to the blob storage account, optionally authenticated with a SAS token. See documentation for BlobServiceClient.

None
credential Optional[Any]

Credentials with which to authenticate. Can be used with account_url or connection_string, but is unnecessary if the other already has an SAS token. See documentation for BlobServiceClient or BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string.

None
connection_string Optional[str]

A connection string to an Azure Storage account. See Azure Storage SDK documentation.

None
blob_service_client Optional[BlobServiceClient]

Instantiated BlobServiceClient.

None
local_cache_dir Optional[Union[str, os.PathLike]]

Path to directory to use as cache for downloaded files. If None, will use a temporary directory.

None
content_type_method Optional[Callable]

Function to call to guess media type (mimetype) when writing a file to the cloud. Defaults to mimetypes.guess_type. Must return a tuple (content type, content encoding).
