Python script to upload an image to Firebase storage through his url

upload_image.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import requests
import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials
from firebase_admin import storage

image_url = sys.argv[1] #we pass the url as an argument

cred = credentials.Certificate('path/to/certificate.json')
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred, {
    'storageBucket': '<mysuperstorage>.appspot.com'
})
bucket = storage.bucket()

image_data = requests.get(image_url).content
blob = bucket.blob('new_cool_image.jpg')
blob.upload_from_string(
        image_data,
        content_type='image/jpg'
    )
print(blob.public_url)

Hello Julio,

Unfortunately, I'm a newbie in python, and I don't really know how to give the path to the image and to the certificate. Could you give me a more specific example?

path/to/certificate.json is the relative path to file. For example, if you have upload_image.py in directory /projects and Firebase credentials file in /projects/credentials/firebase-key.json then the path to file would be credentials/firebase-key.json.

I am getting Error during execution of program

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:/tutorials/eCommerce/firebase test/demo4.py", line 8, in
image_url = sys.argv[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

line 8 : image_url = sys.argv[1] #we pass the url as an argument
how to get the URL ?

line 8 : image_url = sys.argv[1] #we pass the url as an argument
how to get the URL ?

you should know the url of your image!

code works well, Thank you!

is there any code to download files from firebase storage using python?

Does the image url have to be a local path?
Can we also use http endpoint instead?
