IPython Magics for BigQuery
To use these magics, you must first register them. Run the %load_ext
magic
in a Jupyter notebook cell.
%load_ext bigquery_magics
This makes the %%bigquery
magic available.
Code Samples
Running a query:
%%bigquery
SELECT name, SUM(number) as count
FROM `bigquery-public-data.usa_names.usa_1910_current`
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY count DESC
LIMIT 3
Running a parameterized query:
%%bigquery --params {"corpus_name": "hamlet", "limit": 10}
SELECT word, SUM(word_count) as count
FROM `bigquery-public-data.samples.shakespeare`
WHERE corpus = @corpus_name
GROUP BY word
