以编程方式从谷歌云存储桶下载文件

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to download a file from google cloud storage bucket.

My use-case is to run a scheduled script which downloads a .csv file once a day and save it to a SQL DB.

I considered doing it using python and the google SDK but got lost with all the options and which one is the right for me.

Could someone can explain the difference between cloud storage client, boto, gsutil, and google cloud SDK?

Thanks!

Answer 1

看看 gcs-fuse：这样就容易多了，因为这样您就可以将 GCS 用作标准文件系统。

Answer 2

The Google Cloud SDK includes a gsutil program. It is based on the boto Python library. "Cloud storage client" is not a specific thing as far as I'm aware.

If you have some kind of scheduler like cron that can regularly run a command, all you need is

gsutil cp gs://mybucket/somefile.csv /tmp/

How to load that into a SQL DB is a separate problem.
