BigQuery

ToolJet can connect to BigQuery databases to run BigQuery queries.

Connection

To connect to BigQuery, you need to enable BigQuery API in your Google Cloud Console. You can follow the steps to enable BigQuery API from this link.

Next, you need to create a service account and generate a key for the same. You can follow the steps to create a service account from this link.

Now, copy and paste the data from the downloaded JSON file into the Private key field in the BigQuery data source form.

The json file should look like this:
