Unable to insert data into BigQuery Table


I am trying to insert record to BigQuery using my Python Code. I always get Table not found error even though table exist.

from google.cloud import bigquery
from google.oauth2 import service_account
key_path = service-account.json"
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
    key_path,
    scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"],
)
bigquery_client = bigquery.Client(
    credentials=credentials,
    project=credentials.project_id,
)
dataset_ref = bigquery_client.dataset('mydataset')
table_ref = dataset_ref.table('mytable3')
rows_to_insert = [(u'Adam', 32),(u'Eve', 29)]
errors = bigquery_client.insert_rows(table, rows_to_insert)
assert errors == []

ERROR :

https://bigquery.googleapis.com/bigquery/v2/projects/myproject/datasets/mydataset/tables/mytable3: Not found: Table myproject:mydataset.mytable3

I am inserting values at Thu Nov 7 13:23:10 CET 2019 and table was created on 7 Nov 2019, 11:02:48 (after 2 hrs). Is there any reason I am getting table not found, even though the table is visible in GUI and CLI both.


Solution

  • From the code you are sharing, I see that the BigQuery API call table = bigquery_client.get_table(table_ref) is missing. You can employ the following script to insert values in an already existing table named TABLE created in the dataset DATASET

    from google.cloud import bigquery                                                                                                                                                  
    from google.oauth2 import service_account                                                                                                                                          
    
    key_path = "./service-account.json"                                                                                                                                                
    credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(                                                                                                               
       key_path,

    )

    insert_to_bigquery(rows_to_insert)
    

    One can test that the insertion of values was successful by running the following bq command:

    bq query --nouse_legacy_sql 'SELECT * FROM `PROJECT.DATASET.TABLE`'
