To get the URL from a BigQuery table that you have created, you can use the following steps:

Go to the BigQuery Console:

  1. Navigate to the BigQuery console: https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery.
  2. Log in to your Google Cloud account.

Navigate to Your Table:

  1. In the left-hand navigation pane, expand the node for your project.
  2. Expand the node for the dataset that contains your table.
  3. Click the name of your table.

Copy the Table URL:

  1. Once you've clicked on the table, the URL in your browser's address bar is the URL for that specific BigQuery table.
  2. You can copy this URL and use it as needed.

Here is an example of a BigQuery console table URL:

https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery?project=YOUR_PROJECT_ID&p=YOUR_PROJECT_ID&d=YOUR_DATASET&t...

Where:

  • YOUR_PROJECT_ID is the ID of your Google Cloud project.
  • YOUR_DATASET is the ID of the dataset that contains your table.
  • YOUR_TABLE is the ID of your table.

You can also use the BigQuery API to get the API endpoint of a table. To do this, you can use the tables.get method.

Here is an example of how to use the tables.get method to get the API endpoint of a table:

 

import googleapiclient.discovery

bigquery = googleapiclient.discovery.build('bigquery', 'v2')

request = bigquery.tables().get(projectId='[PROJECT_ID]', datasetId='[DATASET_ID]', tableId='[TABLE_ID]')
response = request.execute()

table_endpoint = response['selfLink']
  • [PROJECT_ID] is the ID of your Google Cloud project.
  • [DATASET_ID] is the ID of the dataset that contains your table.
  • [TABLE_ID] is the ID of your table.

Note: The selfLink you're extracting from the API response is the API endpoint for that table, not the console URL.

Once you have the URL or API endpoint of your table, you can use it to access your table from the console or any application that supports BigQuery.

Here are some examples of how to use the BigQuery table URL or API endpoint:

SELECT * FROM [YOUR_PROJECT_ID].[YOUR_DATASET].[YOUR_TABLE]
  • To query your table from the BigQuery API, you can use the following code:

 

import googleapiclient.discovery

bigquery = googleapiclient.discovery.build('bigquery', 'v2')

query = """
SELECT * FROM [YOUR_PROJECT_ID].[YOUR_DATASET].[YOUR_TABLE]
"""

job_config = bigquery.jobs().query(query=query).execute()

job = bigquery.jobs().get(projectId='[PROJECT_ID]', jobId=job_config['jobId']).execute()

results = job['results']

for row in results['rows']:
    print(row)
  • You can also use the BigQuery table URL or API endpoint to load data into your table, export data from your table, and grant access to your table.
