Welcome to bigQueryR

Introduction

This is a package for use with BigQuery from within R.

You may want to use bigrquery instead which is more developed with integration with dplyr etc. Some functions from bigrquery are used within this package.

Why this package then?

This package is here as it uses googleAuthR as backend, so has Shiny support, and compatibility with other googleAuthR dependent packages.

It also has support for data extracts to Google Cloud Storage, meaning you can download data and make the download URL available to a user via their Google email. If you do a query normally with over 100000 results it hangs and errors.

An example of a BigQuery Shiny app running OAuth2 is here, the BigQuery Visualiser

Installation

Stable version CRAN is now on CRAN

install.packages("bigQueryR")

Development version off github:

devtools::install_github("MarkEdmondson1234/bigQueryR")

See the NEWS to see whats in each version.

Authentication

Authentication is as used in other googleAuthR libraries:

library(bigQueryR)

## this will open your browser
## Authenticate with an email that has access to the BigQuery project you need
bqr_auth()

## verify under a new user
bqr_auth(new_user=TRUE)

If you are authenticating under several APIs via googleAuthRthen use gar_auth() instead with the appropriate scopes set.

You can also use service-to-service JSON files and multi-user authentication under Shiny, see the googleAuthR readme for details.
