Node.js idiomatic client for BigQuery.

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.

Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained.

Installing the client library

npm install --save @google-cloud/bigquery

Using the client library

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

// Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID';

// Creates a client
const bigquery = new BigQuery({
  projectId: projectId,
});

// The name for the new dataset
const datasetName = 'my_new_dataset';

// Creates the new dataset
bigquery
  .createDataset(datasetName)
  .then(results => {
    const dataset = results[0];

    console.log(`Dataset ${dataset.id} created.`);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error('ERROR:', err);
  });

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be in beta. This means it is expected to be mostly stable while we work toward a general availability release; however, complete stability is not guaranteed. We will address issues and requests against beta libraries with a high priority.
