[SOLVED] move or copy files(blob) between storage accounts python (azure function)?

move or copy files(blob) between storage accounts python (azure function)?

I want to move (or copy then delete) files/blobs between two storage accounts using python (in an azure function). I've used methods like this. However this works for older SDKs, does anyone know a way for new SDK?

Something like this but between two storage accounts rather than containers.

Solution

If you want to copy blob across Azure storage account, please refer to the following code

from azure.storage.blob import ResourceTypes, AccountSasPermissions, generate_account_sas, BlobServiceClient
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
source_key = ''
des_key = ''
source_account_name = ''
des_account_name = '23storage23'
# genearte account sas token for source account
sas_token = generate_account_sas(account_name=source_account_name, account_key=source_key,
                                 resource_types=ResourceTypes(
                                     service=True, container=True, object=True),
                                 permission=AccountSasPermissions(read=True),
                                 expiry=datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(hours=1))
source_blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient(
    account_url=f'https://{source_account_name}.blob.core.windows.net/', credential=source_key)
des_blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient(
    account_url=f'https://{des_account_name}.blob.core.windows.net/', credential=des_key)

source_container_client = source_blob_service_client.get_container_client(
    'copy')

source_blob = source_container_client.get_blob_client('Capture.PNG')
source_url = source_blob.url+'?'+sas_token
# copy
des_blob_service_client.get_blob_client(
    'test', source_blob.blob_name).start_copy_from_url(source_url)

Besides, if the access level of the source container is public, we can simplify the code as below

from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient
source_key = ''
des_key = ''
source_account_name = ''
des_account_name = '23storage23'
source_blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient(
    account_url=f'https://{source_account_name}.blob.core.windows.net/', credential=source_key)
des_blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient(
    account_url=f'https://{des_account_name}.blob.core.windows.net/', credential=des_key)

source_container_client = source_blob_service_client.get_container_client(
    'input')

source_blob = source_container_client.get_blob_client('file.json')
source_url = source_blob.url
# copy
des_blob_service_client.get_blob_client(
    'test', source_blob.blob_name).start_copy_from_url(source_url)
