Use the BigQuery DataFrames API to turn a table into a BigQuery DataFrame

## Code sample

### Python


Before trying this sample, follow the Python setup instructions in the
[BigQuery quickstart using
client libraries](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/quickstarts/quickstart-client-libraries).


For more information, see the
[BigQuery Python API
reference documentation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/bigquery/latest).


To authenticate to BigQuery, set up Application Default Credentials.
For more information, see

[Set up authentication for client libraries](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/authentication#client-libs).

    # Create a DataFrame from a BigQuery table:
    import bigframes.pandas as bpd

    query_or_table = "bigquery-public-data.ml_datasets.penguins"
    bq_df = bpd.read_gbq(query_or_table)
