Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable the Google Cloud Bigquery API.
3. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/bigquery

Using the client library

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

  async function createDataset() {
    // Creates a client
    const bigqueryClient = new BigQuery();

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

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.
