Azure Storage Blob ChangeFeed client library for Python
This preview package for Python enables users to get blob change feed events. These events can be lazily generated, iterated by page, retrieved for a specific time interval, or iterated from a specific continuation token.

Getting started
Prerequisites
Python 3.8 or later is required to use this package. For more details, please read our page on Azure SDK for Python version support policy.
You must have an Azure subscription and an
Azure storage account to use this package.
Install the package
Install the Azure Storage Blob ChangeFeed client library for Python with pip:
pip install azure-storage-blob-changefeed --pre
Create a storage account
If you wish to create a new storage account, you can use the
Azure Portal,
Azure PowerShell,
or Azure CLI:
# Create a new resource group to hold the storage account -
# if using an existing resource group, skip this step
az group create --name my-resource-group --location westus2
# Create the storage account
az storage account create -n my-storage-account-name -g my-resource-group
To enable changefeed you can use:
Azure Portal,
Azure PowerShell
or Template.
Authenticate the client
Interaction with Blob ChangeFeed client starts with an instance of the ChangeFeedClient class. You need an existing storage account, its URL, and a credential to instantiate the client object.
Get credentials
To authenticate the client you have a few options:
Use a SAS token string
Use an account shared access key
Use a token credential from azure.identity
Alternatively, you can authenticate with a storage connection string using the from_connection_string method. See example: Client creation with a connection string.
You can omit the credential if your account URL already has a SAS token.
Create client
Once you have your account URL and credentials ready, you can create the ChangeFeedClient:
from azure.storage.blob.changefeed import ChangeFeedClient
service = ChangeFeedClient(account_url="https://<my-storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/", credential=credential)
Key concepts
Clients
The Blob ChangeFeed SDK provides one client:
ChangeFeedClient: this client allows you to get change feed events by page, get all change feed events, get events in a time range, start listing events with a continuation token.
Examples
The following sections provide several code snippets covering some of the most common Storage Blob ChangeFeed, including:
Client creation with a connection string
Enumerating Events Within a Time Range
Enumerating All Events
Enumerating Events by Page
Client creation with a connection string
Create the ChangeFeedClient using the connection string to your Azure Storage account.
from azure.storage.blob.changefeed import ChangeFeedClient
service = ChangeFeedClient.from_connection_string(conn_str="my_connection_string")
Enumerating Events Within a Time Range
List all events within a time range.
from datetime import datetime
from azure.storage.blob.changefeed import ChangeFeedClient
cf_client = ChangeFeedClient("https://{}.blob.core.windows.net".format("YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME"),
credential="Your_ACCOUNT_KEY")
start_time = datetime(2020, 1, 6)
end_time = datetime(2020, 3, 4)
change_feed = cf_client.list_changes(start_time=start_time, end_time=end_time)
# print range of events
for event in change_feed:
print(event)
Enumerating All Events
List all events.
from azure.storage.blob.changefeed import ChangeFeedClient
cf_client = ChangeFeedClient("https://{}.blob.core.windows.net".format("YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME"),
credential="Your_ACCOUNT_KEY")
change_feed = cf_client.list_changes()
# print all events
for event in change_feed:
print(event)
Enumerating Events by Page
List events by page.
from azure.storage.blob.changefeed import ChangeFeedClient
cf_client = ChangeFeedClient("https://{}.blob.core.windows.net".format("YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME"),
credential="Your_ACCOUNT_KEY")
change_feed = cf_client.list_changes().by_page()
# print first page of events
change_feed_page1 = next(change_feed)
for event in change_feed_page1:
print(event)
Troubleshooting
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 argument:
import sys
import logging
from azure.storage.blob.changefeed import ChangeFeedClient
# Create a logger for the 'azure.storage.blob.changefeed' SDK
logger = logging.getLogger('azure.storage')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# Configure a console output
handler = logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stdout)
logger.addHandler(handler)
# This client will log detailed information about its HTTP sessions, at DEBUG level
service_client = ChangeFeedClient.from_connection_string("your_connection_string", logging_enable=True)
