Open an Azure StorageStreamDownloader without saving it as a file

Question

I need to download a PDF from a blob container in azure as a download stream (StorageStreamDownloader) and open it in both PDFPlumber and PDFminer. I developed all the requi

Answer 1

It seems download_to_stream() is now deprecated and instead should be used readinto().

from azure.storage.blob import BlobClient


conn_string = ''
container_name = ''
blob_name = ''
blob_obj = BlobClient.from_connection_string(
    conn_str=conn_string, container_name=container_name,
    blob_name=blob_name
)
with open(blob_name, 'wb') as f:
    b = blob_obj.download_blob()
    b.readinto(f)

This will create a file in working directory with the data that was downloaded.
