# Azure Queue Storage SDK for Python
Simple, cost-effective message queuing for asynchronous communication.
Installation
```bash
pip install azure-storage-queue azure-identity
```
Environment Variables
```bash
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_URL=https://<account>.queue.core.windows.net
```
Authentication
```python
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.storage.queue import QueueServiceClient, QueueClient
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
account_url = "https://<account>.queue.core.windows.net"
# Service client
service_client = QueueServiceClient(account_url=account_url, credential=credential)
# Queue client
queue_client = QueueClient(account_url=account_url, queue_name="myqueue", credential=credential)
```
Queue Operations
```python
# Create queue
service_client.create_queue("myqueue")
# Get queue client
queue_client = service_client.get_queue_client("myqueue")
# Delete queue
service_client.delete_queue("myqueue")
# List queues
for queue in service_client.list_queues():
print(queue.name)
```
Send Messages
```python
# Send message (string)
queue_client.send_message("Hello, Queue!")
# Send with options
queue_client.send_message(
content="Delayed message",
visibility_timeout=60, # Hidden for 60 seconds
time_to_live=3600 # Expires in 1 hour
)
# Send JSON
import json
data = {"task": "process", "id": 123}
queue_client.send_message(json.dumps(data))
```
Receive Messages
```python
# Receive messages (makes them invisible temporarily)
messages = queue_client.receive_messages(
messages_per_page=10,
visibility_timeout=30 # 30 seconds to process
)
for message in messages:
print(f"ID: {message.id}")
print(f"Content: {message.content}")
print(f"Dequeue count: {message.dequeue_count}")
# Process message...
# Delete after processing
queue_client.delete_message(message)
```
Peek Messages
```python
# Peek without hiding (doesn't affect visibility)
messages = queue_client.peek_messages(max_messages=5)
for message in messages:
print(message.content)
```
Update Message
```python
# Extend visibility or update content
messages = queue_client.receive_messages()
for message in messages:
# Extend timeout (need more time)
queue_client.update_message(
message,
visibility_timeout=60
)
# Update content and timeout
queue_client.update_message(
message,
content="Updated content",
visibility_timeout=60
)
```
Delete Message
```python
# Delete after successful processing
messages = queue_client.receive_messages()
for message in messages:
try:
# Process...
queue_client.delete_message(message)
except Exception:
# Message becomes visible again after timeout
pass
```
Clear Queue
```python
# Delete all messages
queue_client.clear_messages()
```
Queue Properties
```python
# Get queue properties
properties = queue_client.get_queue_properties()
print(f"Approximate message count: {properties.approximate_message_count}")
# Set/get metadata
queue_client.set_queue_metadata(metadata={"environment": "production"})
properties = queue_client.get_queue_properties()
print(properties.metadata)
```
Async Client
```python
from azure.storage.queue.aio import QueueServiceClient, QueueClient
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential
async def queue_operations():
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
async with QueueClient(
account_url="https://<account>.queue.core.windows.net",
queue_name="myqueue",
credential=credential
) as client:
# Send
await client.send_message("Async message")
# Receive
async for message in client.receive_messages():
print(message.content)
await client.delete_message(message)
import asyncio
asyncio.run(queue_operations())
```
