BigQuery Data Transfer Services - python client library

Question

Currently, we have lots of requests in scheduling a BigQuery data transfer for DoubleClick Campaign Manager. So we follow the instruction here to use Data Transfer V2.0. It requires manual set up and permission with user account.

• https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/doubleclick-campaign-transfer

However, I notice that Data Transfer Service support REST-API

• https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/datatransfer/rest/

But it looks like the REST-API only supports version=v1. My questions:

• What are the differences between REST-API v1.0 and Data Transfer V2.0?
• Can I use the REST-API with Data Transfer V2.0?

I am looking for a python client library of "bigquery data transfer services", specially for how to launch the bigquery job to run or schedule a backfill to load DCM data to BigQuery.

How could I do the above works to set up "bigquery data transfer" automatically with service account instead of manual set up with user account?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The Data Transfer Service API version is currently v1. It does support DoubleClick Campaign Manager "Data Transfer v2". They are two different sets of APIs: Data Transfer Service vs. DoubleClick Campaign Manager Data Transfer.
