python bunny_net storage snippet

Bunny.net is a well-known CDN and storage among developers. It provides you with a lot of handy features like, for example, auto image resizing. It's fast and reliable. Here is my python snippet on how to upload a file to the storage.

You can use just requests, but I prefer unofficial Python library. So let's install it first.

pip install bunnycdnpython

Here is the entire code. I will describe it in details below.

from BunnyCDN.Storage import Storage


def upload_file(client, filename, storage_path, local_upload_file_path=None):
    return client.PutFile(
        filename,
        storage_path=storage_path,
        local_upload_file_path=local_upload_file_path
    )


# Configuration from the BunnyNet dashboard
# 'api_key'. It's your password from bunny.net storage API. Read section below.
# 'zone_name'. Name of your storage zone
# 'zone_region'. Region name. You can find it in bunny.net page "FTP & API Access" > Hostname.
# For example in "ny.storage.bunnycdn.com" "ny" is your zone_region.
bunny_storage_config = {
    "api_key": "",
    "zone_name": "",
    "zone_region": ""
}

bunny_storage_client = Storage(
    bunny_storage_config["api_key"],
    bunny_storage_config["zone_name"],
    bunny_storage_config["zone_region"]
)

# Let's upload image to the Storage
upload_file(
    bunny_storage_client,
    "article-og-image.jpeg",
    "/articles/bunny-net-file-upload/article-og-image.jpeg",
    "/home/abstractkitchen/images/"
)

As you can see, the function upload_file takes four arguments:

client. BunnyNET Storage client.
filename. Name of the file with extension.
storage_path. Path with a filename at your bunny storage.
local_upload_file_path. Where your file is stored locally.

Here is another approach to organizing your code. I like it more. You can then add more wrappers to work with Bunny.net.

from BunnyCDN.Storage import Storage


class BunnyStorage:
    def __init__(self, api_key, zone_name, zone_region):
        self.storage = Storage(api_key, zone_name, zone_region)

    def upload_file(self, filename, storage_path, local_upload_file_path=None):
        return self.storage.PutFile(
            filename,
            storage_path=storage_path,
            local_upload_file_path=local_upload_file_path
        )

Then you can use it anywhere in your code just like that.

bunny_storage_client = BunnyStorage("api-key", "zone-name", "zone-region")

bunny_storage_client.upload_file(
    "article-og-image.jpeg",
    "/articles/bunny-net-file-upload/article-og-image.jpeg",
    "/home/abstractkitchen/images/")
