Example

out:
  type: bigquery
  auth_method: private_key   # default
  service_account_email: ABCXYZ123ABCXYZ123.gserviceaccount.com
  p12_keyfile_path: /path/to/p12_keyfile.p12
  path_prefix: /path/to/output
  file_ext: csv.gz
  source_format: CSV
  project: your-project-000
  dataset: your_dataset_name
  table: your_table_name
  formatter:
    type: csv
    header_line: false
  encoders:
  - {type: gzip}

Authentication

There are two methods supported to fetch access token for the service account.

1. Public-Private key pair
2. Predefined access token (Compute Engine only)

The examples above use the first one. You first need to create a service account (client ID), download its private key and deploy the key with embulk.

On the other hand, you don't need to explicitly create a service account for embulk when you run embulk in Google Compute Engine. In this second authentication method, you need to add the API scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery" to the scope list of your Compute Engine instance, then you can configure embulk like this.

out:
  type: bigquery
  auth_method: compute_engine

Table id formatting

table and option accept Time#strftime format to construct table ids. Table ids are formatted at runtime using the local time of the embulk server.

For example, with the configuration below, data is inserted into tables table_2015_04, table_2015_05 and so on.

out:
  type: bigquery
  table: table_%Y_%m

Dynamic table creating

When auto_create_table is set to true, try to create the table using BigQuery API.

If table already exists, insert into it.

To describe the schema of the target table, please write schema path.

out:
  type: bigquery
  auto_create_table: true
  table: table_%Y_%m
  schema_path: /path/to/schema.json
