How to get URI of a blob in a google cloud storage (Python)
Apr 30
If I have a Blob object how can I get the URI (gs://...)?
The documentation says I can use self_link property to get the URI, but it returns the https URL instead (https://googleapis.com...) I am using python client library for cloud storage.
Thank you

Since you are not sharing with us how exactly are you trying to achieve this I did a quick script in Python to get this info
There is no specific method in blob to get the URI as gs:// in Python but you can try to script this by using the path_helper
def get_blob_URI():
"""Prints out a bucket's labels."""
# bucket_name = 'your-bucket-name'
storage_client = storage.Client()
bucket_name = 'YOUR_BUCKET'
blob_name = 'YOUR_OBJECT_NAME'
bucket = storage_client.get_bucket(bucket_name)
blob = bucket.blob(blob_name)
link = blob.path_helper(bucket_name, blob_name)
pprint.pprint('gs://' + link)
If you want to use the gsutil tool you can also get all the gs:// Uris of a bucket using the command gsutil ls gs://bucket
