• Product Documentation

Quick Start

In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.

2. Enable the BigQuery Data Transfer API.

3. Setup Authentication.

Installation

Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

With virtualenv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system dependencies.

Supported Python Versions

Python >= 3.6

Deprecated Python Versions

Python == 2.7.

The last version of this library compatible with Python 2.7 is google-cloud-bigquery-datatransfer==1.1.1.

Mac/Linux

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
<your-env>/bin/pip install google-cloud-bigquery-datatransfer

Windows

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
<your-env>\Scripts\activate
<your-env>\Scripts\pip.exe install google-cloud-bigquery-datatransfer

Next Steps

• Read the Client Library Documentation for BigQuery Data Transfer API API to see other available methods on the client.

• Read the Product documentation to learn more about the product and see How-to Guides.

Note

Because this client uses grpc library, it is safe to share instances across threads. In multiprocessing scenarios, the best practice is to create client instances after the invocation of os.fork() by multiprocessing.pool.Pool or multiprocessing.Process.
