Our /azure/store Robot

Export files to Microsoft Azure

🤖/azure/store exports encoding results to Microsoft Azure.

Usage example

Export uploaded files to my_target_folder on Azure:

{
  "steps": {
    "exported": {
      "robot": "/azure/store",
      "use": ":original",
      "credentials": "YOUR_AZURE_CREDENTIALS",
      "path": "my_target_folder/${unique_prefix}/${file.url_name}"
    }
  }
}

Parameters

  • use

    String / Array of Strings / Object required

    Specifies which Step(s) to use as input.

    • You can pick any names for Steps except ":original" (reserved for user uploads handled by Transloadit)

    • You can provide several Steps as input with arrays:

      "use": [
  ":original",
  "encoded",
  "resized"
]

    💡 That’s likely all you need to know about use, but you can view Advanced use cases.

  • credentials

    Stringrequired

    Please create your associated Template Credentials in your Transloadit account and use the name of your Template Credentials as this parameter's value. They will contain the values for your Azure Container, Account and Key.

    While we recommend to use Template Credentials at all times, some use cases demand dynamic credentials for which using Template Credentials is too unwieldy because of their static nature. If you have this requirement, feel free to use the following parameters instead: "account", "key", "container".

  • path

    String ⋅ default: "${unique_prefix}/${file.url_name}"

    The path at which the file is to be stored. This may include any available Assembly variables.

  • content_type

    String ⋅ default: ""

    The content type with which to store the file. By default this will be guessed by Azure.

  • content_encoding

    String ⋅ default: ""

    The content encoding with which to store the file. By default this will be guessed by Azure.

  • content_language

    String ⋅ default: ""

    The content language with which to store the file. By default this will be guessed by Azure.

  • cache_control

    String ⋅ default: ""

    The cache control header with which to store the file.

  • metadata

    Object ⋅ default: {}

    A JavaScript object containing a list of metadata to be set for this file on Azure, such as { FileURL: "${file.url_name}" }. This can also include any available Assembly variables.

  • sas_expires_in

    Integer

    Set this to a number to enable shared access signatures for your stored object. This reflects the number of seconds that the signature will be valid for once the object is stored. Enabling this will attach the shared access signature (SAS) to the result URL of your object.

  • sas_permissions

    String ⋅ default: ""

    Set this to a combination of r (read), w (write) and d (delete) for your shared access signatures (SAS) permissions.

Note: The URLs in the result JSON already point to the file on your target storage platform, so you can just save that URL in your database.
