Configure Google BigQuery with Zing Data

You can connect Zing to Google BigQuery as a data source from the Zing web console. Zing Data is a trusted Google Cloud Partner.

You’ll need:

  • Project ID which is the ID for your project in BigQuery
  • Service Account JSON which is the file from your Google BigQuery account and allows Zing to authenticate into your BigQuery data source

You’ll also need to set up appropriate permissions, namely: Big Query Viewer rights and BigQuery Job User rights

Project ID

Just copy and paste your Project ID from your Google BigQuery account. You’ll get this from your Google Cloud Console.

Service Account

Your service account is set up by copying your credentials from your Google service account.
