This article provides an overview to get started with the Azure blob storage connector in Peliqan. Please contact support if you have any additional questions or remarks.

Authentication

Create a SAS token (SAS = Shared Access Signature) on the blob container in Azure, of type “User delegation key”.

In Azure go to Storage accounts > choose an account > Data Storage > Containers > choose a container.

Left menu under Settings > Shared access tokens.

• Signing method: User delegation key
• Permissions: select Read AND List
• Expiry: choose date in the future

Click on “Generate SAS token and URL”. Copy the Blob SAS token.

Handling files

Example custom pipeline script to list files (blobs) in a container and download a file:

azure_blob_storage_api = pq.connect('Azure blob storage')

result = azure_blob_storage_api.get('files')
st.json(result)

file_contents = azure_blob_storage_api.get('downloadfile', path = "myfolder/myfile.csv")
st.write(file_contents)
