Display & Video 360 API BigQuery Connector

The Display & Video 360 API BigQuery Connector is a configurable service that automatically retrieves Display & Video 360 resources and stores them in BigQuery using Display & Video 360 API resource formats for querying and analysis.

See the BigQuery Display & Video transfer guide and data transformation reference documentation for information on setting up this service.

How does it work?

The Display & Video 360 API BigQuery Connector is a BigQuery Data Transfer Service that you can turn on under a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project. You create a BigQuery dataset to store the resulting data and set up the transfer using the GCP console.

After you turn on the Display & Video 360 API BigQuery Connector, it regularly imports resource data into BigQuery. From here you can query and retrieve the data from BigQuery using GoogleSQL syntax.

Although there is no cost for the data transfer, standard BigQuery storage and query pricing applies once the data is in BigQuery.

The resource definitions used by Display & Video 360 API BigQuery Connector will be updated following the release of each new Display & Video 360 API version.

What can it do?

Using the Display & Video 360 API BigQuery Connector, your team can:

  • Automate the daily import of Display & Video 360 resource settings into BigQuery.
  • Complete quality assurance of your Display & Video 360 resource settings through programmatic or manual BigQuery queries.
  • Join imported Display & Video 360 resource settings data with any other BigQuery datasets.

Who is it built for?

Integrating with Display & Video 360 API BigQuery Connector is ideal for teams that manage a significant number of Display & Video 360 resources and want to be able to query their data manually or programmatically. Teams currently using the Display & Video 360 API can use it to automate resource retrieval. Teams currently retrieving Entity Read Files can use it as a replacement for the deprecated product.

Teams will need the resources to set up and utilize BigQuery and the ability to support updates to resource structure with the adoption of new Display & Video 360 API versions.

What products work with it?

Display & Video 360 API can be used to edit the resources retrieved by the BigQuery Connector. A combined integration of these two tools can produce a robust and automated quality assurance process.

Reporting Data Transfer can be used to regularly transfer event-level Display & Video 360 performance data into BigQuery. Your team can run queries joining performance and resource settings data using both of these tools to import Display & Video 360 data into BigQuery.
