To connect BigQuery to Credible, you’ll need to create a Google Cloud service account and download its JSON key file.

​
Create a Service Account

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console
  2. Select your project
  3. Navigate to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts
  4. Click Create Service Account
  5. Enter a name (e.g., credible-bigquery)
  6. Click Create and Continue

​
Assign Permissions

Add these roles to the service account:
  • BigQuery Data Viewer (for read-only access)
  • BigQuery Job User (to run queries)
If you need write access, use BigQuery Data Editor instead of Data Viewer. Click Continue, then Done.

​
Download the JSON Key

  1. Find your service account in the list and click on it
  2. Go to the Keys tab
  3. Click Add Key > Create new key
  4. Select JSON and click Create
The JSON key file will download automatically. Keep this file secure - it provides access to your BigQuery data.

​
Connect in Credible

  1. Go to your-org.admin.credibledata.com
  2. Navigate to your project
  3. Click Add Connection
  4. Select BigQuery
  5. Upload the JSON key file
  6. Test and save the connection
Never commit JSON key files to version control.
