azure-blob-container-download\n\n\u003e Download blobs from an Azure container.\n\n[![npm version][npm-image]][npm-url]\n[![GitHub tag][github-tag-image]][github-tag-url]\n[![License][license-image]][license-url]\n\nA simple, cross-platform tool to bulk-download blobs from an [Azure storage container](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/).\n\nThough limited in scope, it does some things official tools don't:\n\n- [AzCopy](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-use-azcopy) is not cross-platform\n- [Azure CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-azure-cli) does not bulk-download\n- [Azure PowerShell](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-powershell-guide-full) is not cross-platform\n- [Azure Portal](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/features/azure-portal/) does not bulk-download\n\n## Install\n\n```shell\nnpm install --global azure-blob-container-download\n```\n\n## Options\n\n```text\nUsage: abcd [options]\n\nOptions:\n  --account           Storage account (or set AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT)  [string]\n  --key               Storage access key (or set AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY)  [string]\n  --containerPattern  Regular expression filter for container names  [string]\n  --blobPattern       Regular expression filter for blob names  [string]\n  --startDate         Starting date for blobs  [string]\n  --endDate           Ending date for blobs  [string]\n  --snapshots         True to include blob snapshots  [boolean]\n  --version           Show version number  [boolean]\n  --help              Show help  [boolean]\n\nDownload blobs from an Azure container.\nhttps://github.com/DavidAnson/azure-blob-container-download\n```\n\n## Examples\n\nGet help:\n\n    azure-blob-container-download --help\n\nOr get help using the short name:\n\n    abcd --help\n\nDownload all blobs in a storage account:\n\n    abcd --account ACCOUNT --key KEY\n\nOr set environment variables `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT` and `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY` first:\n\n    abcd\n\nInclude [blob snapshots](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-blob-snapshots):\n\n    abcd --snapshots\n\nFilter by last modified date of each blob:\n\n    abcd --startDate 2016-02-13 --endDate 2016-08-04\n\nFilter by container name and/or blob name using [regular expressions](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions):\n\n    abcd --containerPattern container --blobPattern \"blobs?\"\n\n**Note**: Some regular expression characters require escaping on the command line.\nThe output from `azure-blob-container-download` shows when this happens.\n\nFor example (Windows):\n\n```text\nC:\\\u003eabcd --containerPattern ^text\nDownloading blobs in account from [beginning of time] to [end of time].\nListing containers in account matching /text/...\n```\n\nThe leading `^` character of the `--containerPattern` has been lost by the shell.\nIt can be recovered by quoting the parameter:\n\n```text\nC:\\\u003eabcd --containerPattern \"^text\"\nDownloading blobs in account from [beginning of time] to [end of time].\nListing containers in account matching /^text/...\n```\n\n## History\n\n- 0.1.0 - Initial release\n  - 0.1.1 - Patch
