BigQuery

How to get your BigQuery API key and connect it to Nova Admin.

Connect a GCP BigQuery project by entering its projectId (and optionally a defaultDataset). Authentication uses Application Default Credentials — grant the runtime service account BigQuery Data Viewer + BigQuery Job User on the project beforehand.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Open the GCP console for the project hosting the BigQuery dataset.
  2. Grant the Cloud Functions runtime service account (e.g. 162939303532-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com) the BigQuery Data Viewer and BigQuery Job User roles.
  3. Enter the projectId here (e.g. nova-prod).
  4. Optionally set a defaultDataset (e.g. analytics_379350696) so actions can omit it.

Credential fields

FieldRequiredDescription
GCP Project IDYesstring (e.g. e.g. nova-prod)
Default DatasetNostring (e.g. e.g. analytics_379350696)

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid credentials: verify the key was copied in full with no trailing spaces.
  • Key not working: check that your BigQuery account has API access enabled and billing is active if required.
  • Need help?: refer to the BigQuery documentation.
