Reference documentation and code samples for the BigQuery API class Google::Cloud::Bigquery::External::JsonSource.

JsonSource

JsonSource is a subclass of DataSource and represents a JSON external data source that can be queried from directly, such as Google Cloud Storage or Google Drive, even though the data is not stored in BigQuery. Instead of loading or streaming the data, this object references the external data source.

json_url = "gs://bucket/path/to/data.json"
json_table = bigquery.external json_url do |json|
  json.schema do |schema|
    schema.string "name", mode: :required
    schema.string "email", mode: :required
    schema.integer "age", mode: :required
    schema.boolean "active", mode: :required
  end
end

data = bigquery.query "SELECT * FROM my_ext_table",
                      external: { my_ext_table: json_table }

# Iterate over the first page of results
data.each do |row|
  puts row[:name]
end
