Inserting data into BigQuery table using requests library

Question

Below article explains how to insert data into bigquery table using google-cloud-bigquery library https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/samples/bigquery-table-insert-rows#code-sample

Is there any way to insert data into bigquery table using requests library instead of google-cloud-bigquery python client library?

Answer 1

The only other way you can insert data without using the client library is by calling the BigQuery Rest APIs .

insertAll POST: https://bigquery.googleapis.com/bigquery/v2/projects/projectId/datasets/datasetId/tables/tableId/insertAll

But it's advisable to use client libraries as it lets you focus on what's your requirement and what's important rather than implementing APIs from scratch and then formatting the responses into something useful.
