BigQuery Connector

Install PipeRider with the BigQuery connector and connect to a data source.

Installation

pip install 'piperider[bigquery]'

Configuration (DBT)

Run the diagnose command in the dbt project

piperider diagnose

If you can successfully connect to BigQuery using dbt, PipeRider can also connect to BigQuery using the same profile settings. For details, please refer to the dbt BigQuery adapter documentation.

Configuration (Non-DBT)

non-dbt use case is deprecated since v0.25.0

Ensure you have already installed the gcloud CLI

Configure connection settings

Initialize a new PipeRider project using piperider init and when prompted select BigQuery as the data source.

The following information is required.

  • GCP Project ID

  • Authentication method (oauth or service-account)

  • BigQuery dataset name
