Version 1.2.1

Insert rows into a BigQuery table. List rows from the table.

Prerequisites

This content provides reference for configuring and using this extension. Before using the extension from an API proxy using the ExtensionCallout policy, you must:

  1. Ensure that you have enabled the BigQuery API for your account.

  2. Ensure that you have created a BigQuery dataset and table (with schema) before attempting to insert rows.

  3. Use the GCP Console to generate a key for the service account.

  4. Use the contents of the resulting key JSON file when adding and configuring the extension using the configuration reference.

About Google BigQuery

Google BigQuery is a serverless, scalable enterprise data warehouse that enables super-fast SQL queries using the processing power of Google's infrastructure. Because there is no infrastructure to manage, you can focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights using familiar SQL without the need for a database administrator.

For a hands-on introduction, try one of the Google BigQuery quickstarts.
