I was going through the blob triggers example on the Microsoft website and came across this

import azure.functions as func
import azurefunctions.extensions.bindings.blob as blob

For azure.functions, I know the api doc is at link.

For azurefunctions.extensions.bindings.blob I found no api doc. Can anyone tell where to find it?

    hi Dhruv Singla thanks for posting this question ))

    check the official azure functions python developer guide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-reference-python. it covers the core concepts.

    for that specific extension, its actually part of the experimental bindings. microsoft doesnt maintain separate api docs for it )) what u can do is look at the source code directly on github https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-python-extensions/tree/dev/azurefunctions-extensions-bindings-blob/samples. yes, its not ideal, but thats where the details live for now.

    sometimes u can find useful comments in the code itself that explain how things work. worth looking into if u need deeper understanding )

    the blob binding behaves similarly across different languages. so if u find good examples for c# or javascript, the concepts often translate to python too. general blob binding reference https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-bindings-storage-blob.

    when working with experimental features, always test thoroughly in your environment. things might change or behave differently than u expect :))

    hope this helps!

    Best regards,

    Alex
