Method: googleapis.bigquery.v2.tables.get

Gets the specified table resource by table ID. This method does not return the data in the table, it only returns the table resource, which describes the structure of this table.

Arguments

Parameters
datasetId

string

Required. Dataset ID of the requested table

projectId

string

Required. Project ID of the requested table

tableId

string

Required. Table ID of the requested table

selectedFields

string

List of fields to return (comma-separated). If unspecified, all fields are returned

view

enum

Specifies the view that determines which table information is returned. By default, basic table information and storage statistics (STORAGE_STATS) are returned.

Enum type. Can be one of the following:
BASIC Includes basic table information including schema and partitioning specification. This view does not include storage statistics such as numRows or numBytes. This view is significantly more efficient and should be used to support high query rates.
FULL Includes all table information, including storage statistics. It returns same information as STORAGE_STATS view, but may contain additional information in the future.
STORAGE_STATS Includes all information in the BASIC view as well as storage statistics (numBytes, numLongTermBytes, numRows and lastModifiedTime).
TABLE_METADATA_VIEW_UNSPECIFIED The default value. Default to the STORAGE_STATS view.

Raised exceptions

ConnectionError In case of a network problem (such as DNS failure or refused connection).

TimeoutError If a long-running operation takes longer to finish than the specified timeout limit.
TypeError If an operation or function receives an argument of the wrong type.
ValueError If an operation or function receives an argument of the right type but an inappropriate value. For example, a negative timeout.

Response

If successful, the response contains an instance of Table.
