[James Gilliam]

been googling and reading docs trying to find this out without luck.

i have created a gcs object and want to get a url for serving it (get_serving_url)

how do you do this?

also, is there a way to get a blobinfo for the gcs object ?

Salutations James,

You need to run 'blobstore.create_gs_key' then pass the results to the get_serving_url. 

self.response.write("<img src='%s'>" % get_serving_url(blobstore.create_gs_key("/gs/bucket/image.png")))

Thanks Ryan.

It works.

Do you know where this is documented in GAE ?

Glad it works!

It is not explicitly documented. You have to read the constructors. The link on the main docs page has one to the get_serving_url that shows it needs a blob_key. Reading the section on Blobs and GCS you see how to get the key. We encourage Feedback on our docs. At the top of the page it has a 'Send feedback' button where you can express your wishes (such as clearer use of the get_serving_url).
