1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable the Google BigQuery API.
3. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

npm install @google-cloud/bigquery

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {BigQuery} = require('@google-cloud/bigquery');

async function createDataset() {
  // Creates a client
  const bigqueryClient = new BigQuery();

  // Create the dataset
  const [dataset] = await bigqueryClient.createDataset(datasetName);
  console.log(`Dataset ${dataset.id} created.`);
}
createDataset();

Samples are in the samples/ directory. Each sample's README.md has instructions for running its sample.

The Google BigQuery Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

• Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
• Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.

• legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
