I would like to improve the quality of existing data by using the Google BigQuery API to help validate the accuracy of existing data.
I dont see information on the types of data elements contained in the BigQuery and dont understand how to use an API if I just want to see what types of data are contained in there.
I tried looking for instructions and data elements in the Google Health Care API and Google BigQuery documentation and only saw how to set up a payment option.
I am a newbie at programming and wanted to do some preliminary research on these data sets prior to bringing them to our technical team.
I expect to see a list of relevant results based on a custom query.
You can see the data types supported
by Google BigQuery here and the conversion between different types here.
Also you can try out the BigQuery APIs in the OAuthPlayGround.

I'm trying to figure out at what time people request content from a website (such as 'www.netflix.com'), do any of the avalible reports contain this data? If so how would I access it?
I've had a look around and can't see a table that has this data. Would anywhere else store it?
If you meant reports that available in BigQuery, I would suggest exploring BigQuery Public Datasets. At the moment I do not see any website access datasets but might still be useful for your reference.
I want to know if it is possible to link multiple different google analytics properties in a single Bigquery project by separating the property datasets by properties.
I checked the acceptance message that the linking is going well, but I have no idea that the data will be saved in a dataset or different datasets.
Yes. It is possible to link multiple GA properties to a single GCP Project but in different BigQuery datasets. In case of Universal Analytics, the ID of each BQ dataset will be same as that of GA View ID. And in case of GA4 the ID of each BQ dataset will be analytics_<property_id>.
I have a Firebase application which is uploading events with parameters. I need to be able to view those events in order to debug some issues we're having in production. I can only see the tables which are generated nightly in BigQuery. I can find references online saying that BigQuery allows viewing real time data. What I can't find is any straightforward instructions on how to create those views.
Is it possible? If so, can someone give me instructions that even a complete newb could follow?
We have decided to use the BigQuery APIs for information we want to see immediately in the database.
I am using BigQuery for SEO reasons. I am a search TC and I am a little confused why you are not using the Google Forum as I thought that was standard. What I want to use BigQuery for is to pull when my competitors change data on their website and which pages that were changed. So I need the URL that was changed and when it was changed (date) so I can also pull the page title and description to see what they are doing different than I am.
Is there anyone that knows how to use BigQuery to pull:
Date the page was changed
URL
Title
Description
We've switched to using Stack Overflow for support for many of our developer products, such as BigQuery. There's a great community here on StackOverflow, and the interface for formatting technical questions and interacting with the community is fantastic.
BigQuery does not collect the data for you-- it's a cloud service for performing ad hoc queries on massive datasets. Before first performing the queries, you need to upload the data to the service (as a CSV format).
So, if you have a job which collects this data -- URL, title, description, date and perhaps a hash of the webpage, you could potentially ingest a CSV file of this data into BigQuery and use it to understand when webpages have changed.
Of course, there are also 3rd-party services (such as Changedetection.com) which may be easier to use for your purposes.
I need to merge my GA statistics with external data (stored in SQL but I can expose them by some web service). Perfectly all the data should be available in GA for reporting but I found no solution for import the data into GA.
Do you know any piece of software that can do this and present the merged results in some readable form to the user? It should meet the following requirements:
Should be a web application
Should not be a software-as-a-service solution (will be hosted in infrastructure provided by me)
Should provide some level of automation in data import
Analytics Canvas looks interesting but I wonder if there are any other applications.
Analytics Canvas is indeed a good option, it has really good data extraction and transformation capabilities, and handles nicely any data out of both SQL data sources and the most recent GA API.
Google Analytics allows you import data through the API and manually through the Web Interface. For example this is a very good article on integrating external CRM user data with Google Analytics. But Google analytics also support importing the following types of data:
Product Data
Refund Data
Cost Data
Content Data
User Data
You can also create your own custom dimensions and metrics and import that data into Google Analytics and view the results in your own custom reports.
