google-big-queryHow do I use a Google BigQuery URL?


Using a Google BigQuery URL is a great way to access data stored in BigQuery. To use a BigQuery URL, you'll need to have a valid BigQuery project, dataset, and table.

First, you'll need to construct your BigQuery URL. The format of the URL is https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/<project_id>/<dataset_name>/<table_name>.

Once you have the URL, you can use the BigQuery command line tool to run a query against the table. For example, the following command will query the my_table table in the my_dataset dataset in the my_project project:

bq query --use_legacy_sql=false 'SELECT * FROM my_project.my_dataset.my_table'

The query will return the contents of the table in the form of a list of records.

You can also use the BigQuery web UI to view the data stored in a table. To do this, simply navigate to the URL you constructed and you'll be able to view the data in the table.
