# BigQuery integration

DoubleLoop allows you to populate your metrics in DoubleLoop with time-series data from BigQuery. Here's how to do it.

### BigQuery Permissions

See [Google's documentation](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts-create) for information on how to setup a service account and download your credentials file.

#### High-level Permissions

Use the following permissions to quickly get started.

*BigQuery Data Viewer, BigQuery Job User*

#### Granular Permissions

If you prefer more granular permissions, these are the specific required permissions.

*bigquery.jobs.create, bigquery.datasets.get, bigquery.tables.getData, bigquery.tables.list*

### Setup in DoubleLoop

1. In DoubleLoop, select on a metric on the map.
2. Click the "Source" option in the toolbar.
3. In the Source menu in the right side drawer, click "Add Source."
4. Select Google Big Query and click Next.
5. Upload the credentials file from above and follow the steps.
6. Input the query into DoubleLoop for the metric. The output of the query must contain columns named "date" and "value". We recommend that you test out the query in BigQuery before you input it into DoubleLoop.
   * To import segmented data, see the data format [here](/measure/data-segmentation.md).
7. Click "Save".
8. You can import data immediately by clicking "Run now". Moving forward, the data will import on daily basis.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.doubleloop.app/measure/bigquery-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
