How to download all data in a Google BigQuery dataset?

Question

Is there an easy way to directly download all the data contained in a certain dataset on Google BigQuery? I\'m actually downloading \"as csv\", making one query after anothe

Answer 1

You can run BigQuery extraction jobs using the Web UI, the command line tool, or the BigQuery API. The data can be extracted

For example, using the command line tool:

First install and auth using these instructions: https://developers.google.com/bigquery/bq-command-line-tool-quickstart

Then make sure you have an available Google Cloud Storage bucket (see Google Cloud Console for this purpose).

Then, run the following command:

bq extract my_dataset.my_table gs://mybucket/myfilename.csv
