Google BigQuery: Node.js Client

BigQuery is Google's fully managed, petabyte scale, low cost analytics data warehouse. BigQuery is NoOps—there is no infrastructure to manage and you don't need a database administrator—so you can focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights, use familiar SQL, and take advantage of our pay-as-you-go model.

Using the client library

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.

2. Enable billing for your project.

3. Enable the Google BigQuery API.

4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

5. Install the client library:

    npm install --save @google-cloud/bigquery
   

6. Try an example:

  // Imports the Google Cloud client library
  const {BigQuery} = require('@google-cloud/bigquery');

  // Creates a client
  const bigquery = new BigQuery();

  // Create the dataset
  const [dataset] = await bigquery.createDataset(datasetName);
  console.log(`Dataset ${dataset.id} created.`);

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
