feat(storage-vercel-blob): support Vercel Blob OIDC authentication - #19305
Adds support for Vercel Blob OIDC authentication to @payloadcms/storage-vercel-blob. You can now use the adapter without a long-lived BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN — just omit token and let Vercel's short-lived OIDC credentials authenticate your uploads, reads, and deletes.
Mode
How you configure it
Read/write token (existing)
Pass token: process.env.BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN
OIDC (new)
Omit token; the store is identified by storeId or the BLOB_STORE_ID env var
Why
OIDC is now the default when you connect a new project to a Vercel Blob store, and Vercel's guidance is to stop using long-lived tokens. Before this change the adapter couldn't run in that mode at all — it required a vercel_blob_rw_* token for three reasons:
With no token, the plugin disabled itself and fell back to local storage.
It parsed the store ID out of the token with a regex and threw Invalid token format on anything else.
It built the public blob base URL (https://<storeId>.public.blob.vercel-storage.com) from that parsed store ID.
So a project adopting the recommended OIDC default had no way to use this plugin.
How
token is now optional. When it's omitted, the adapter runs in OIDC mode and lets @vercel/blob resolve short-lived credentials from the environment (VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN).
New storeId option, falling back to the BLOB_STORE_ID environment variable (which Vercel sets for connected stores). This supplies the store ID needed to build public blob URLs when there's no token to parse it from.
Store-ID resolution (token → storeId option → BLOB_STORE_ID) and the enabled/baseUrl decision are extracted into a new pure helper, resolveBlobConfig, so the precedence is unit-tested in isolation.
storeId is threaded through the put / del / head calls so OIDC targets the right store.
Bumps @vercel/blob2.3.1 → 2.8.0; OIDC credential resolution (VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN + BLOB_STORE_ID) lands in the SDK at 2.8.0.
The plugin still disables itself and falls back to local storage only when neither a token nor a resolvable store ID is available, so existing token-based setups are unchanged.
Not supported in OIDC-only mode
Client uploads require a read/write token. The client-upload flow mints short-lived client tokens server-side via @vercel/blob/client's handleUpload, which has no OIDC path in 2.8.0. When no token is set, clientUploads is ignored (server uploads still work via OIDC). This is documented in the README.
Tests
New resolveBlobConfig.spec.ts (14 tests): token mode, OIDC via explicit storeId, OIDC via BLOB_STORE_ID, precedence, disabled states, the malformed-token throw, and the emulator base-URL override.
Updated staticHandler.spec.ts for the new { storeId, token } call shape.
Full package suite: vitest run packages/storage-vercel-blob → 23/23 pass with @vercel/blob@2.8.0 linked.
Per CONTRIBUTING.md, new features are ideally discussed first (Discussion / Discord) since storage changes have broad implications — opening this as a draft to start that conversation. Happy to adjust the API shape (e.g. option naming) based on maintainer preference.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The Vercel Blob storage plugin now supports optional-token configuration with OIDC and a configurable store ID. It resolves the store ID, base URL, and enabled state, then passes the store ID and optional token to Blob operations.
Configuration resolution selects the store ID, base URL, and enabled state. The plugin accepts an optional token and store ID, and enables client uploads only when a token is present. Tests cover resolution behavior. The documentation describes token and OIDC setup, and @vercel/blob is upgraded to 2.8.0.
Pass credentials to Blob operations packages/storage-vercel-blob/src/adapter.ts, packages/storage-vercel-blob/src/deleteFile.ts, packages/storage-vercel-blob/src/uploadFile.ts, packages/storage-vercel-blob/src/getFile.ts, packages/storage-vercel-blob/src/staticHandler.spec.ts
The adapter forwards the resolved store ID and optional token to deletion, upload, and retrieval helpers. Those helpers pass both values to the corresponding Blob SDK calls. The static-handler test expects the storeId argument.

Vercel Blob now supports OIDC authentication and makes it the default for
newly connected projects, so a long-lived BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN is no longer
required. The adapter previously required that token: it derived the store ID
from the token, threw on any other token shape, and disabled itself (falling
back to local storage) when no token was set.
This adds an OIDC path:
- `token` is now optional. When omitted, @vercel/blob resolves short-lived
OIDC credentials from the environment (VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN).
- A new `storeId` option, falling back to the BLOB_STORE_ID environment
variable (set by Vercel for connected stores), supplies the store ID used to
build public blob URLs when there is no token to parse it from.
- Store-ID resolution (token > storeId option > BLOB_STORE_ID) and the
enabled/baseUrl decision are extracted into a pure, unit-tested helper.
- `storeId` is threaded through put/del/head so OIDC targets the right store.
- Bump @vercel/blob 2.3.1 -> 2.8.0, the version that resolves OIDC internally.
Client uploads still require a read/write token (the client-token exchange has
no OIDC path), so clientUploads is ignored in OIDC-only mode. The plugin still
disables itself only when neither a token nor a resolvable store ID is present.
