riffsdk
Python SDK for the Riff Storage API. Provides sync and async clients for storing, retrieving, and managing objects.
Installation
uv add riffsdk
# or
pip install riffsdk
Or install from a branch (for pre-release testing):
uv add git+https://github.com/databutton/riff-sdk-python.git@main
# or
pip install git+https://github.com/databutton/riff-sdk-python.git@main
Quick start
from riffsdk.storage import StorageClient
client = StorageClient()
# Upload (content type derived from the key: text/plain; charset=utf-8)
meta = client.put("hello.txt", "Hello, world!")
meta = client.put("notes.md", "# Title") # -> text/markdown; charset=utf-8
# Download
data = client.get("hello.txt")
# List
for obj in client.list("hello"):
print(f"{obj.key} ({obj.size} bytes)")
# Delete
client.delete("hello.txt")
client.close()
Async
from riffsdk.storage import AsyncStorageClient
async with AsyncStorageClient() as client:
await client.put("key", b"data", content_type="application/octet-stream")
data = await client.get("key")
Authentication
Set the RIFF_TOKEN environment variable. The SDK picks it up automatically.
API
Clients
StorageClient-- sync clientAsyncStorageClient-- async client
Both support: put, get, stat, exists, list, delete, close, and context manager usage.
Models
ObjectMeta-- metadata for a stored object (key, version, size, content_type, timestamps)UploadResult,DownloadResult-- operation resultsListPage-- paginated listingScope-- access scope (useaccount_scope(),project_scope(),session_scope())
Uploads
ResumableUpload/AsyncResumableUpload-- multipart resumable uploads for large filesStorageReader/StorageWriter-- streaming read/write
Content types
content_type is optional on put, upload_file, upload_stream, begin_upload and
create_write_stream. When omitted it is derived from the storage key's extension using a
table bundled with the SDK, so the result does not depend on the host's /etc/mime.types or the
Python version. Unknown extensions fall back to application/octet-stream.
upload_fileprefers the key's extension and falls back to the local filename's -- soupload_file("docs/notes.md", "/tmp/tmpXY123")still storestext/markdown.strpayloads passed toput()are encoded as UTF-8, and get; charset=utf-8appended when the derived type istext/*.- An explicit
content_type=is always used verbatim.
Exceptions
All exceptions inherit from StorageError:
AuthorisationErrorObjectNotFoundErrorVersionConflictErrorAlreadyExistsErrorLeaseConflictErrorUploadNotFoundErrorQuotaExceededErrorPartMismatchErrorStorageTransportError
Examples
See the examples/ directory for complete working examples:
basic_crud.py-- put, get, list, deleteasync_client.py-- async usage with asynciofile_upload_download.py-- file uploads with progressoptimistic_concurrency.py-- version-based conflict handling
Development
