In-Depth Information
to Enable Billing, and clicking the button walks you through the setup
flow. You need to register a credit card, which will be charged monthly for
the resources used in the prior month. After you submit all the required
information, you return to the main project page. Setting up billing on the
project enables billing for all the services that have been switched on in the
project, and you will receive a combined invoice broken down by service
usage. You can monitor your recent BigQuery usage by clicking on the gear
icon next to the BigQuery entry in the APIs panel (under APIs & auth).
This completes the project setup. Sections in this topic that require a project
with billing enabled highlight the requirement. If you choose not to turn on
billing, you can simply skip the examples in these sections. For additional
information on the Google APIs consoles and project management visit

Running Your First Query
BigQuery is an “API-first” service. All its functionality is available via its
public API, and its features are designed for programmatic access. However,
for convenience and ease of use, there is a web application provided by
the service that makes it simple to try various features of the service. It is
similar in function to MySQL Workbench and similar products that give
you the ability to quickly view the layout of your database and run queries.
You can use this application to verify that your project is set up correctly
and to try your first simple query. Navigate your browser to
https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/ .
When you arrive at the BigQuery web application homepage, you should
see a screen similar to the one in Figure 3.5 . If you instead see a message
directing you to set up a project, then it is likely you did not enable the
BigQuery API on the project you created. If so, you will need to head back to
the APIs console and enable it.
