Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform projectprojects.
2. Enable the Google BigQuery APIenableapi.
3. Set up authentication with a service accountauth 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();

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

• Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
• Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/bigquery@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.
This library is considered to be 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 stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
