Method: googleapis.bigquery.v2.tables.get

Gets the specified table resource by table ID. This method does not return the data in the table, it only returns the table resource, which describes the structure of this table. # IAM Permissions Requires the bigquery.tables.get permission on the table.

Arguments

Parameters
datasetId	string Required. Dataset ID of the requested table
projectId	string Required. Project ID of the requested table
tableId	string Required. Table ID of the requested table
selectedFields	string List of table schema fields to return (comma-separated). If unspecified, all fields are returned. A fieldMask cannot be used here because the fields will automatically be converted from camelCase to snake_case and the conversion will fail if there are underscores. Since these are fields in BigQuery table schemas, underscores are allowed.
view	enum Optional. Specifies the view that determines which table information is returned. By default, basic table information and storage statistics (STORAGE_STATS) are returned.
Enum type. Can be one of the following:
TABLE_METADATA_VIEW_UNSPECIFIED	The default value. Default to the STORAGE_STATS view.
BASIC	Includes basic table information including schema and partitioning specification. This view does not include storage statistics such as numRows or numBytes. This view is significantly more efficient and should be used to support high query rates.
STORAGE_STATS	Includes all information in the BASIC view as well as storage statistics (numBytes, numLongTermBytes, numRows and lastModifiedTime).
FULL	Includes all table information, including storage statistics. It returns same information as STORAGE_STATS view, but may contain additional information in the future.

Raised exceptions

Exceptions
ConnectionError	In case of a network problem (such as DNS failure or refused connection).
HttpError	If the response status is >= 400 (excluding 429 and 503).
TimeoutError	If a long-running operation takes longer to finish than the specified timeout limit.
TypeError	If an operation or function receives an argument of the wrong type.
ValueError	If an operation or function receives an argument of the right type but an inappropriate value. For example, a negative timeout.

Response

If successful, the response contains an instance of Table.
