pypinfo is distributed on PyPI as a universal wheel and is available on Linux/macOS and Windows and supports Python 3.7+.
This is relatively painless, I swear.
-
Sign up if you haven't already. The first TB of queried data each month is free. Each additional TB is $5.
-
Sign in on your account if you are not already;
-
Go to https://console.developers.google.com/cloud-resource-manager and click CREATE PROJECT if you don't already have one:
- This takes you to https://console.developers.google.com/projectcreate. Fill out the form and click CREATE. Any name is fine, but I recommend you choose something to do with PyPI like pypinfo. This way you know what the project is designated for:
- A while after creation, at the left-top corner, select the project name of your choice on dropdown component AND at the left-top corner "Navigation Menu", select option "Cloud Overview > Dashboard":
- Click on top-left button "Navigation Menu" and click on option "API and services > Library":
- Perform a search with keywords "big query api" on available text field:
- Enable Big Query API by button "Enable" press:
- After enabling, click CREATE CREDENTIALS:
Note: You will be requested to go back to Big Query panel. In this case, click on top-left button "Navigation Menu", option "API and services > Enabled APIs and services" and on consequent page, on item "Big Query API":
- On the page after clicking the "CREATE CREDENTIALS" button, choose "BigQuery API", "Application Data" and "No, I'm not using them":
- Fill account details and press button "Create and Continue":
- Select role "BigQuery User" (option path "BigQuery > Big Query User"), press button "Done":
- On Big Query API panel (See Note on item 10), click on tab "CREDENTIALS". On section "Service accounts", click on created credentials on items 11, 12 and 13.
- On page from credential click, click on tab "KEYS". On dropdown menu "ADD KEY", click on option "Create new key":
- On appearing box, click on option "JSON" and press button "CREATE": This will start the download of credentials on a JSON file with name pattern
{name}-{credentials_hash}.json:
- Run
python -m pip install pypinfoin the terminal. pypinfo --auth path/to/your_credentials.json, or set an environment variableGOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALSthat points to the file.
