Connecting QlikSense to BigQuery using REST API Connector

[#1]

Hello There,

I'm trying to make use of the REST connector to extract data from a table in Google BigQuery.

I've used the connector to connect to a variety of sources so far (LinkedIn, Twitter, Google Maps etc).

However connecting to BigQuery seems to be more complex, for obvious reasons.

I'm not sure how to structure my URL request in order to run a SQL query on one of my tables.

In the interest of your time, here are some example credentials.

Project

Project ID: MyProject

Dataset: MyDataset

Table: MyTable

API

Client ID: 12345.apps.googleusercontent.com

Client Secret: 98765

Query

SQL Query: "SELECT * FROM [MyDataset.MyTable] LIMIT 1000"

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Lewis

I guess you should give webUI URL here and after creating connection you would prompted to give SQL query.

Hi,

You can get the URL from the opened QlikWebConnector pagei n the browser.

Check the attachement below, as Qlik suggested, you should use the URL in "create new connection -> Web file".

Hi Lewis,

I'm just about to set-up a connector my self, so I haven't tried this yet. However, I you could find many answers to your questions here API Reference  |  BigQuery  |  Google Cloud Platform‌.

I hope it helps!
