I'm trying to read a .json
file as dict()
in a python code from VM instance stored in google cloud storage bucket.
I tried reading json file as blob:
client = storage.Client()
bucket = client.get_bucket('bucket-id-here')
blob = bucket.get_blob('remote/path/to/file.json')
str_json = blob.download_as_string()
But I'm unable to decode the str_json
. Is my approach correct? if any other approach available please let me know.
I need something like:
# Method to load json
dict = load_json(gcs_path='gs://bucket_name/filename.json')
Reading From JSON Python has a built-in package called json, which can be used to work with JSON data. It's done by using the JSON module, which provides us with a lot of methods which among loads() and load() methods are gonna help us to read the JSON file.
Here is an alternative way to reach it using the official Cloud Storage library:
# Import the Google Cloud client library and JSON library
from google.cloud import storage
import json
# Instantiate a Google Cloud Storage client and specify required bucket and file
storage_client = storage.Client()
bucket = storage_client.get_bucket('bucket_name')
blob = bucket.blob('filename.json')
# Download the contents of the blob as a string and then parse it using json.loads() method
data = json.loads(blob.download_as_string(client=None))
