BigQuery client wrapper with clean API

BiggerQuery — The Python framework for BigQuery

Tired of the limiting BigQuery console? Open your Jupyter notebook and start working with BigQuery using Python!

BiggerQuery lets you:

• Work with BigQuery using Python code.
• Create a workflow that you can automatically convert to an Airflow DAG.
• Implement a configurable environment for your workflows.
• Organize your data processing.
• Create a workflow from a Jupyter notebook.
• Work with BigQuery from any other environment.
• Run and schedule the Apache-Beam pipelines.
• Mix BigQuery, Python and Apache-Beam in your workflows.

BiggerQuery scales to your needs. It's very easy to start making queries and creating workflows. If needed, BiggerQuery lets you implement complex stuff (the Allegro experimentation platform was created using the BiggerQuery framework).

Installation

pip install biggerquery

pip install biggerquery[beam](if you want to use the Apache Beam)

Compatibility

BiggerQuery is compatible with Python >= 3.5.

Cheat sheet

Setup

We recommend using the Jupyter Lab to go through the examples. You can also run the examples as scripts, or from your own Jupyter notebook. In those cases, you can authorize using pydata_google_auth(look at the example below) or Google sdk.

Inside this repository you can find the file named 'MilitaryExpenditure.csv'. Use the script below to load the csv to the BigQuery table. You will use the created table to explore the BiggerQuery methods.

First of all, install the dependencies:

pip install biggerquery

pip install pydata_google_auth

Then, fill up the PROJECT_ID and DATA_PATH:

PROJECT_ID = 'put-you-project-id-here'
DATA_PATH = '/path/to/json/file/311_requests.csv'

import biggerquery as bgq
import pydata_google_auth
import pandas as pd

credentials = pydata_google_auth.get_user_credentials(['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery'])

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID,
    dataset_name='external_data',
    credentials=credentials)

df = pd.read_csv(DATA_PATH, dtype={
    'street_number': str,
    'state_plane_x_coordinate': str
})

load_table = dataset.load_table_from_dataframe('311_requests', df, partitioned=False)
load_table.run()

Authorize with a GCP user account

import biggerquery as bgq
import pydata_google_auth

credentials = pydata_google_auth.get_user_credentials(['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery'])  

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id='put-you-project-id-here',
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    credentials=credentials)

Create table

import biggerquery as bgq

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id='put-you-project-id-here',
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    internal_tables=['request_aggregate'])

create_table = dataset.create_table("""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS request_aggregate (
    batch_date TIMESTAMP,
    request_count INT64)
PARTITION BY DATE(batch_date)""")

create_table.run()

Query table

import biggerquery as bgq

PROJECT_ID = 'put-you-project-id-here'

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID,
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    external_tables={
        '311_requests': '{}.external_data.311_requests'.format(PROJECT_ID)
    })

select_requests = dataset.collect("""
SELECT *
FROM `{311_requests}`
WHERE DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = "{dt}"
LIMIT 1000
""")

requests_df = select_requests.run('2014-05-21')
print(requests_df)

Estimate query cost(dry run)

import biggerquery as bgq

PROJECT_ID = 'put-you-project-id-here'

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID,
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    external_tables={
        '311_requests': '{}.external_data.311_requests'.format(PROJECT_ID)
    })

dry_select = dataset.dry_run("""
SELECT *
FROM `{311_requests}`
WHERE DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = "{dt}"
LIMIT 1000
""")

print(dry_select.run('2014-05-21'))

Write to table

import biggerquery as bgq

PROJECT_ID = 'put-you-project-id-here'

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID,
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    external_tables={
        '311_requests': '{}.external_data.311_requests'.format(PROJECT_ID)
    },
    internal_tables=['request_aggregate'])

create_table = dataset.create_table("""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS request_aggregate (
    batch_date TIMESTAMP,
    request_count INT64)
PARTITION BY DATE(batch_date)""").run()

write_truncate_daily_request_count = dataset.write_truncate('request_aggregate', """
WITH batched_requests as (
    SELECT 
        DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) as batch_date,
        *
    FROM `{311_requests}`
    WHERE DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = "{dt}"
)

SELECT 
    TIMESTAMP(batch_date) as batch_date,
    count(*) as request_count
FROM `batched_requests`
WHERE DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = "{dt}"
GROUP BY batch_date
""")

write_truncate_daily_request_count.run('2014-05-21')

Create non-partitioned table from query results

import biggerquery as bgq

PROJECT_ID = 'put-you-project-id-here'

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID,
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    external_tables={
        '311_requests': '{}.external_data.311_requests'.format(PROJECT_ID)
    },
    internal_tables=['request_aggregate_tmp'])

write_tmp_daily_request_count = dataset.write_tmp('request_aggregate_tmp', """
WITH batched_requests as (
    SELECT 
        DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) as batch_date,
        *
    FROM `{311_requests}`
    WHERE DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = "{dt}"
)

SELECT 
    TIMESTAMP(batch_date) as batch_date,
    count(*) as request_count
FROM `batched_requests`
WHERE DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = "{dt}"
GROUP BY batch_date
""")

write_tmp_daily_request_count.run('2014-05-21')

Save pandas DataFrame to table

import biggerquery as bgq
import pandas as pd

PROJECT_ID = 'put-you-project-id-here'

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID,
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    external_tables={
        '311_requests': '{}.external_data.311_requests'.format(PROJECT_ID)
    },
    internal_tables=['request_aggregate'])

create_table = dataset.create_table("""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS request_aggregate (
    batch_date TIMESTAMP,
    request_count INT64)
PARTITION BY DATE(batch_date)""").run()

load_df = dataset.load_table_from_dataframe('request_aggregate', pd.DataFrame([{
    'batch_date': pd.Timestamp('2017-01-01T12'),
    'request_count': 200
}]))

load_df.run('2017-01-01')

Generate DAG from notebook

Create an empty notebook and add the following processing logic:

import biggerquery as bgq

PROJECT_ID = 'put-you-project-id-here'

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID,
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    external_tables={
        '311_requests': '{}.external_data.311_requests'.format(PROJECT_ID)
    },
    internal_tables=['request_aggregate'])

create_table = dataset.create_table("""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS request_aggregate (
    batch_date TIMESTAMP,
    request_count INT64)
PARTITION BY DATE(batch_date)""")

write_truncate_daily_request_count = dataset.write_truncate('request_aggregate', """
WITH batched_requests as (
    SELECT 
        DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) as batch_date,
        *
    FROM `{311_requests}`
    WHERE DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = "{dt}"
)

SELECT 
    TIMESTAMP(batch_date) as batch_date,
    count(*) as request_count
FROM `batched_requests`
WHERE DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = "{dt}"
GROUP BY batch_date
""")

workflow_v1 = bgq.Workflow(definition=[
    create_table.to_job(),
    write_truncate_daily_request_count.to_job()
])

Next, create another notebook and add the following code that will generate the Airflow DAG:

import biggerquery as bgq

bgq.build_dag_from_notebook('/path/to/your/notebook.ipynb', 'workflow_v1', start_date='2014-05-21')

After you run the code above, you will get a zipped Airflow DAG that you can deploy. The easiest way to deploy a DAG is by using the Cloud Composer.

Wait for tables

If you want to wait for some data to appear before you start a processing, you can use sensor component:

import biggerquery as bgq

PROJECT_ID = 'put-you-project-id-here'

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID,
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    external_tables={
        '311_requests': '{}.external_data.311_requests'.format(PROJECT_ID)
    },
    internal_tables=['request_aggregate'])

wait_for_requests = bgq.sensor_component(
    '311_requests', 
    where_clause="DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = DATE(TIMESTAMP_ADD(TIMESTAMP('{dt}'), INTERVAL -24 HOUR))",
    ds=dataset)

workflow_v2 = bgq.Workflow(definition=[wait_for_requests.to_job()])

# Should raise ValueError because there is no data for '2090-01-01'
workflow_v2.run('2090-01-01')

Write custom component

If you want to write you own component, you can do it by writing a function:

import biggerquery as bgq

PROJECT_ID = 'put-you-project-id-here'

dataset = bgq.Dataset(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID,
    dataset_name='biggerquery_cheatsheet',
    external_tables={
        '311_requests': '{}.external_data.311_requests'.format(PROJECT_ID)
    },
    internal_tables=['request_aggregate'])

def is_table_ready(df):
    return df.iloc[0]['table_ready']

@bgq.component(ds=dataset)
def wait_for_requests(ds):
    result = ds.collect('''
        SELECT count(*) > 0 as table_ready
        FROM `{311_requests}`
        WHERE DATE(TIMESTAMP(created_date)) = DATE(TIMESTAMP_ADD(TIMESTAMP('{dt}'), INTERVAL -24 HOUR))
        ''')

    if not is_table_ready(result):
        raise ValueError('311_requests is not ready')

workflow_v2 = bgq.Workflow(definition=[wait_for_requests.to_job()])

# Should raise ValueError because there is no data for '2090-01-01'
workflow_v2.run('2090-01-01')

Tutorial

Inside this repository, you can find the BiggerQuery tutorial. We recommend using the GCP Jupyter Lab to go through the tutorial. It takes a few clicks to set up.
