# BigQuery

Connect to a BigQuery database in AirOps

{% hint style="info" %}
**Remember to allowlist our IP Address `52.71.87.39`**

If your database is protected by a firewall, remember to allow inbound access to AirOPs IP address over your database port.
{% endhint %}

## Setup Google Cloud Platform Service Account and Grant Access (for New Users)

To add a Google BigQuery Data Warehouse as a Data Source on AirOps, use a Google Cloud Platform service account with **read** access to the desired datasets and tables:

### 1. Create a Google Cloud Platform Service Account

1. Go to the [Google Cloud Platform Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/).
2. Click on the project dropdown and select the project that contains your BigQuery dataset.
3. Navigate to the **IAM & Admin** page, and then click **Service accounts**.
4. Click **+ CREATE SERVICE ACCOUNT** at the top of the page.
5. Enter a name for your service account and click **Create**.
6. On the **Grant this service account access to the project** page, select the **BigQuery Data Viewer** and **BigQuery Job User** roles.
7. Click **Continue**, and then click **Done**.

### 2. Generate a JSON key for the Service Account

1. In the **Service accounts** page, find the service account you just created.
2. Click the **Actions** menu (three vertical dots) and select **Create key**.
3. Select **JSON** as the key type, and click **Create**.
4. Save the generated JSON key file to your computer.

### 3. Enter the JSON Key File Content in AirOps

1. Open the JSON key file with a text editor.
2. Copy the entire content of the JSON key file.
3. In AirOps, paste the JSON key file content into the **JSON Key** field.

Now, your Google BigQuery Data Warehouse should be connected and ready for use within AirOps.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.airops.com/context/memory-stores/add-data/import-from-sql-database/data-sources/bigquery.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
