Project Summary

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to write pandas dataframe to BigQuery and how to query from BigQuery within pandas.

Requirements

• If you haven't already, you may sign-up for the free GCP trial credit.
  Set up your project on GCP and enable the BigQuery API.
• (optional, but recommended) Set-up a Python virtual environment:
  • Install pyenv-virtualenv (Instructions for macOS).
  • Create and activate an environment:

  pyenv virtualenv gcp_env
  pyenv activate gcp_env

• Install pandas and the pandas wrapper for BigQuery:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Clean-up

• Delete the BigQuery dataset to avoid incurring charges to your account.
• If you created a Python virtual environment, deactivate it:

pyenv deactivate
