Getting started

Install the package

Install the Azure Purview Sharing client library for Python with pip:

Bash 
pip install azure-purview-sharing

Prerequisites

Authenticate the client

Using Azure Active Directory

This document demonstrates using DefaultAzureCredential to authenticate via Azure Active Directory. However, any of the credentials offered by the azure-identity package will be accepted. See the azure-identity documentation for more information about other credentials.

Once you have chosen and configured your credential, you can create instances of the PurviewSharingClient.

Python 
from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint="https://<my-account-name>.purview.azure.com", credential=credential)

Key concepts

Data Provider: A data provider is the individual who creates a share by selecting a data source, choosing which files and folders to share, and who to share them with. Microsoft Purview then sends an invitation to each data consumer.

Data Consumer: A data consumer is the individual who accepts the invitation by specifying a target storage account in their own Azure subscription that they'll use to access the shared data.

Data Provider Examples

The following code examples demonstrate how data providers can use the Microsoft Azure Python SDK for Purview Sharing to manage their sharing activity.

Create a Sent Share Client

Python 
import os, uuid, json

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)

Create Share

To begin sharing data, the data provider must first create a sent share that identifies the data they would like to share.

Python 
import os, uuid, json

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)

sent_share_id = uuid.uuid4()

artifact = {
    "properties": {
        "paths": [
            {
                "containerName": "container-name",
                "receiverPath": "shared-file-name.txt",
                "senderPath": "original/file-name.txt"
            }
        ]
    },
    "storeKind": "AdlsGen2Account",
    "storeReference": {
        "referenceName": "/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/provider-storage-rg/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/providerstorage",
        "type": "ArmResourceReference"
    }
}

sent_share = {
    "properties": {
        "artifact": artifact,
        "displayName": "sampleShare",
        "description": "A sample share"
    },
    "shareKind": "InPlace"
}

request = client.sent_shares.begin_create_or_replace(
    str(sent_share_id),
    sent_share=sent_share)

response = request.result()
print(response)

Send Share Invitation to a User

After creating a sent share, the data provider can extend invitations to consumers who may then view the shared data. In this example, an invitation is extended to an individual by specifying their email address.

Python 
import os, uuid

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from datetime import date

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)

sent_share_id = uuid.uuid4()
sent_share_invitation_id = uuid.uuid4()

consumerEmail = "consumer@contoso.com"
today = date.today()
invitation = {
    "invitationKind": "User",
    "properties": {
        "targetEmail": consumerEmail,
        "notify": "true",
        "expirationDate": date(today.year+1,today.month,today.day).strftime("%Y-%m-%d") + " 00:00:00"
    }
}

invitation_request = client.sent_shares.create_invitation(
    sent_share_id=str(sent_share_id),
    sent_share_invitation_id=str(sent_share_invitation_id),
    sent_share_invitation=invitation)

invitation_response = invitation_request.result()
created_invitation = json.loads(invitation_response)
print(created_invitation)

Send Share Invitation to a Service

Data providers can also extend invitations to services or applications by specifying the tenant id and object id of the service. The object id used for sending an invitation to a service must be the object id associated with the Enterprise Application (not the application registration).

Python 
import os, uuid

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)

targetActiveDirectoryId = uuid.uuid4()
targetObjectId = uuid.uuid4()

sent_share_invitation = {
    "invitationKind": "Service",
    "properties": {
        "targetActiveDirectoryId": str(targetActiveDirectoryId),
        "targetObjectId": str(targetObjectId)
    }
}

invitation_response = client.sent_shares.create_invitation(
    sent_share_id=str(sent_share_id),
    sent_share_invitation_id=str(sent_share_invitation_id),
    sent_share_invitation=sent_share_invitation)

print(invitation_response)

Get Sent Share

After creating a sent share, data providers can retrieve it.

Python 
import os, uuid

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
sent_share_id = uuid.uuid4()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)

retrieved_sent_share = client.sent_shares.get(sent_share_id=str(sent_share_id))
print(retrieved_sent_share)

List Sent Shares

Data providers can also retrieve a list of the sent shares they have created.

Python 
import os

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)

provider_storage_account_resource_id = "/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/provider-storage-rg/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/providerstorage"

list_request = client.sent_shares.list(
    reference_name=provider_storage_account_resource_id,
    orderby="properties/createdAt desc")

for list_response in list_request:
    print(list_response)

Delete Sent Share

A sent share can be deleted by the data provider to stop sharing their data with all data consumers.

Python 
import os

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

sent_share_id = uuid.uuid4()

delete_request = client.sent_shares.begin_delete(sent_share_id=str(sent_share_id))
delete_response = delete_request.result()
print(delete_response)

Get Sent Share Invitation

After creating a sent share invitation, data providers can retrieve it.

Python 
import os, uuid, json

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

sent_share_id = uuid.uuid4()
sent_share_invitation_id = uuid.uuid4()

get_invitation_response = client.sent_shares.get_invitation(
    sent_share_id=str(sent_share_id), 
    sent_share_invitation_id=str(sent_share_invitation_id))

retrieved_share_invitation = json.loads(get_invitation_response)
print(retrieved_share_invitation)

List Sent Share Invitations

Data providers can also retrieve a list of the sent share invitations they have created.

Python 
import os, uuid, json

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential)

sent_share_id = uuid.uuid4()

list_request = client.sent_shares.list_invitations(sent_share_id=str(sent_share_id))

for list_response in list_request:
    print(list_response)

Delete Sent Share Invitation

An individual sent share invitation can be deleted by the data provider to stop sharing their data with the specific data consumer to whom the invitation was addressed.

Python 
import os, uuid, json

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

sent_share_id = uuid.uuid4()
sent_share_invitation_id = uuid.uuid4()

delete_invitation_request = client.sent_shares.begin_delete_invitation(
    sent_share_id=str(sent_share_id),
    sent_share_invitation_id=str(sent_share_invitation_id))
delete_invitation_response = delete_invitation_request.result()
print(delete_invitation_response)

Data Consumer Examples

The following code examples demonstrate how data consumers can use the Microsoft Azure Python SDK for Purview Sharing to manage their sharing activity.

Create a Received Share Client

Python 
import os

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

List Detached Received Shares

To begin viewing data shared with them, a data consumer must first retrieve a list of detached received shares. Within this list, they can identify a detached received share to attach. A "detached" received share refers to a received share that has never been attached or has been detached.

Python 
import os

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

list_detached_response = client.received_shares.list_detached(orderby="properties/createdAt desc")
print(list_detached_response)

Attach a Received Share

Once the data consumer has identified a received share, they can attach the received share to a location where they can access the shared data. If the received share is already attached, the shared data will be made accessible at the new location specified.

Python 
import os, json

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

consumer_storage_account_resource_id = "/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/consumer-storage-rg/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/consumerstorage"

list_detached_response = client.received_shares.list_detached(orderby="properties/createdAt desc")
received_share = next(x for x in list_detached_response)

store_reference = {
    "referenceName": consumer_storage_account_resource_id,
    "type": "ArmResourceReference"
}

sink = {
    "properties": {
        "containerName": "container-test",
        "folder": "folder-test",
        "mountPath": "mountPath-test",
    },
    "storeKind": "AdlsGen2Account",
    "storeReference": store_reference
}

received_share['properties']['sink'] = sink

update_request = client.received_shares.begin_create_or_replace(
    received_share['id'],
    content_type="application/json",
    content=json.dumps(received_share))

update_response = update_request.result()
print(update_response)

Get Received Share

A data consumer can retrieve an individual received share.

Python 
import os

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

list_detached_response = client.received_shares.list_detached(orderby="properties/createdAt desc")
list_detached = json.loads(list_detached_response)
received_share = list_detached[0]

get_share_response = client.received_shares.get(received_share_id=received_share['id'])
retrieved_share = json.loads(get_share_response)
print(retrieved_share)

List Attached Received Shares

Data consumers can also retrieve a list of their attached received shares.

Python 
import os

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

consumer_storage_account_resource_id = "/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/consumer-storage-rg/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/consumerstorage"

list_attached_response = client.received_shares.list_attached(
    reference_name=consumer_storage_account_resource_id,
    orderby="properties/createdAt desc")
print(list_attached_response)

Delete Received Share

A received share can be deleted by the data consumer to terminate their access to shared data.

Python 
import os

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

delete_received_share_request = client.received_shares.begin_delete(received_share_id=received_share['id'])
delete_received_share_response = delete_received_share_request.result()
print(delete_received_share_response)

Share Resource Examples

The following code examples demonstrate how to use the Microsoft Azure Python SDK for Purview Sharing to view share resources. A share resource is the underlying resource from which a provider shares data or the destination where a consumer attaches data shared with them.

List Share Resources

A list of share resources can be retrieved to view all resources within an account where sharing activities have taken place.

Python 
import os

from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint,credential=credential)

list_request = client.share_resources.list(
    filter="properties/storeKind eq 'AdlsGen2Account'",
    orderby="properties/createdAt desc")

for list_response in list_request:
    print(list_response)

Troubleshooting

General

The Purview Catalog client will raise exceptions defined in Azure Core if you call .raise_for_status() on your responses.

Logging

This library uses the standard logging library for logging. Basic information about HTTP sessions (URLs, headers, etc.) is logged at INFO level.

Detailed DEBUG level logging, including request/response bodies and unredacted headers, can be enabled on a client with the logging_enable keyword argument:

Python 
import sys
import logging
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.purview.sharing import PurviewSharingClient

# Create a logger for the 'azure' SDK
logger = logging.getLogger('azure')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# Configure a console output
handler = logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stdout)
logger.addHandler(handler)

endpoint = "https://<my-account-name>.share.purview.azure.com"
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

# This client will log detailed information about its HTTP sessions, at DEBUG level
client = PurviewSharingClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=credential, logging_enable=True)

Similarly, logging_enable can enable detailed logging for a single send_request call, even when it isn't enabled for the client:

Python 
result = client.types.get_all_type_definitions(logging_enable=True)
