This page describes how to load data from BigQuery into an R data frame, using the bigrquery R package.
Before you begin
Before you begin, create a new AI Platform Notebooks instance for R.
Open a JupyterLab notebook
Follow these steps to open an AI Platform Notebooks instance.
Go to the AI Platform Notebooks page in the Google Cloud Console.
Select Open JupyterLab for the R instance that you want to open.
Select File -> New -> Notebook, and then select the R kernel.
Load the bigrquery R package
Follow these steps to load the bigrquery R package.
In the notebook's first code cell, enter the following:
# Load the package library(bigrquery)
Click the run button to run the command. R loads the package.
Load data from BigQuery
Follow these steps to load BigQuery data into a
data frame using the bigrquery
R package. Since you are running this from
an AI Platform Notebooks instance, you are already authenticated.
Click the notebook's + button to add a code cell to the notebook.
In the new code cell, enter the following. Replace project-id with your Google Cloud project ID.
To get your project ID, click the drop-down arrow next to your project name in the Google Cloud Console.
# Store the project id projectid = "project-id" # Set your query sql <- "SELECT * FROM `bigquery-public-data.usa_names.usa_1910_current` LIMIT 10" # Run the query and store the data in a dataframe df <- query_exec(sql, projectid, use_legacy_sql = FALSE) # Print the query result df
Run the cell to view 10 rows of data from one of BigQuery's public datasets.
