List blobs with Python

Question

I need to get a list of the blobs in a container to get the file name to decrypt it. What is the syntax error?

error: invalid syntax

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blobs-list-python

def list_blobs_flat(self, blob_service_client: BlobServiceClient, 'containerDev/Students'):
    container_client = blob_service_client.get_container_client(container='containerDev/Students')

    blob_list = container_client.list_blobs()

    for blob in blob_list:
        print(f"Name: {blob.name}")

Hi PeterP1550,

Thank you for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Yes, it seems there is a syntax error in your code. In the function definition of list_blobs_flat, you need to use parameter names. You used totally 3 parameters it seems. In which 2 are fine. But last parameter, instead of using parameter name, you used some string there with single quotes. Kindly check it and correct.

Also, if we are using Azure data factory service here then, we can consider using GetMetaData Activity.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if any further queries.
