Read the latest file from azure blob python

I have multiple files in an Azure blob. I want to read/download only the latest file. How can I do it via python.

Note: I am using azure ML datastores to connect to the container in which the blob resides.

In order to perform logic based on blob properties, you'll have to interact with your blob container.

Ensure that you've got the azure-storage-blob library :

conda install azure-storage-blob

(or pip install if that's your preference)

In the Azure Portal, navigate to your storage account, choose Access Keys in the left-hand rail, and copy one of your Connection Strings. Also, know the name of the blob container holding your blobs.

Connect and do logic:

from azure.storage.blob import ContainerClient

container = ContainerClient.from_connection_string(conn_str={your_connection_string}, container_name = {your_container_name})
for blob in container.list_blobs():
    print(f'{blob.name} : {blob.last_modified}')
