I have just started exploring the google BigQuery platform. I have created project, data-set and table.I have successfully loaded data to the table using csv as a source file.
Now I am exploring it's API.I would like to know, whether is there any way to load data using any database as a source.
This should help you get started:

Is there a way to pull the data from a report in Google Data Studio through the API? One of my clients wants to generate a report in data studio and then export it to Google Sheets so he can run additional functions. I can't seem to find any documentation that talks about how to do that. Alternatively, is it easier to skip the report, query the data sources directly, and do the uploading that way?
At the moment you can only get the info about reports, but not report data.
The API is available here: https://developers.google.com/datastudio/api/reference
Currently, there is no API to pull data from a Data Studio report.
Want to get the data from spectrum hub and use that same for report generation but, unable to get request data studio link for get method to pass it in postman with their respective parameters
You can build your own connector for Data Studio that fetches data from a certain REST API. See guides and reference on Community Connectors.
As there are different data sources available to connect with Google Data Studio, you may use any of them as the source for GDS Reporting.
What you can do is:
Pull out the data from the API and create a CSV file and upload it to GDS.
Push the API data into Google Sheet.
Push the API data to MySQL and then connect it with the GDS
I know that it is possible to create dashboards using data studio from various data sources. My question is whether is it possible to visualize a real time data graph using data studio, as in case of data coming from IoT devices?
EDITED
I am uploading a file from my local machine now. So I think now it's not possible to visualize the changes in the data studio if I change any data within my machine.
What I am asking is however is that, is it possible to visualize any changes occured in a google sheet in data studio in real time. Say that I changed or added some new data rows into my google sheet, is it possible in data studio to see those changes in real time?
Yes, it is possible with implementing custom script for refreshing the reports.
I'm feeding in a sheet that is using data supplied by the Google Sheets Google analytics plug-in, and that is definitely updating in Data Studio as the Google sheets report updates.
Data Studio currently does not support automatic real time updates / streaming data. After you open a dashboard, the only way to re-fetch the data is to use the dashboard's refresh feature.
If you require real time updates in your dashboard, please put in feature requests / vote for them in the issue tracker.
Edit: There is a third party Chrome extension that lets users auto refresh dashboards (does not work with Viewer credentials).
Im building a simple angular application and there is a small administrator panel for updating the content (a .json document). I'm looking for a way to edit the json document from the administrator panel.
I can manipulate the memory-loaded json but I can't save it. Is there a way to put the json file in some kind of cloud database and connect to it without setting up a server or backend for my application?
I want my application to be easily deployable on any ftp so I can't setup a nodeserver or install something like couchdb.
Any ideas are appreciated.
You could use a provider like Parse. It's free (up to a limit of requests/month), has a nice JavaScript SDK that would get you up and running quickly. https://parse.com/
Also, check out this query builder to aid in retrieving your data from Parse. It's built as an Angular service for easy integration. https://github.com/dpollot/parse-query
EDIT
Parse also offers hosting, for free.
I am just getting started with Google Web Toolkit and Google App Engine and have a quick question. I think I understand how to use the datastore now but I was wondering if there is a way that I can quickly create a "database" with static data from an excel sheet? I just need to add some data for a proof of concept later this week.
I am picturing something similar to a SQL database browser where I can just import the data?
I developing in Eclipse with appropriate plugins.
Thanks,
Rob
The easiest way to do this would be to save your spreadsheet as a CSV file, then use the bulkloader to load it into the datastore.
Your best bet is probably to write something to handle uploading it, or to handle processing it on the server.
However, you should also look at the bulk loader. It might be able to save you a little bit of time.
Here is the API (Google Documents List API) that "allows client applications to programmatically access and manipulate user data stored with Google Documents".
