Overview

Create a Google BigQuery SnapLogic Account to read from or write to BigQuery. You can configure your Account using either the Designer or the Manager.

Choose the SnapLogic Account type that supports the authorization configured for your BigQuery account:

• OAuth2 for a standard account login

• OAuth2 for a standard account login that supports dynamic properties

• Service account login (Learn more)

• Service account login with a JSON key (Learn more)

Snap-Account Compatibility

Snaps in the Google BigQuery Snap Pack work with different SnapLogic Accounts as noted in the following table.

Configuring Google BigQuery Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag a Google BigQuery Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.

Selecting an existing account

SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:

1. In the Account tab, click the dropdown  icon to view the accounts to which you have access, and select the account that you want to use.

2. Click the Save icon.

   Open

   

Creating an account

1. In the Account tab, click Add Account below the Account Reference field.

2. Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the Account Type, and click Continue. The Create Account dialog window associated with the account type is displayed.

3. Enter the required account details. For detailed guidance on how to provide information required for each account type, refer to Google Service Account JSON, Google BigQuery Dynamic OAuth2, Google BigQuery OAuth, and Google Service Account.

   Open

   

4. Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.

Configuring Google BigQuery Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager

You can use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.
