Skill instructions
BigQuery's REST API (bigquery.googleapis.com/bigquery/v2) lets you run SQL, inspect jobs, and browse datasets and table schemas with plain curl — no SDK required. The central concept is a job. Every query runs as a job in a project (the project is billed, and is not necessarily where the data lives). Under the hood a query runs one of two ways — scripts/bqquery.sh (operation 1) drives this for you: - Synchronous (jobs.query) — one POST that blocks up to a timeout and returns rows inline if the query finishes in time. - Asynchronous (jobs.insert → jobs.get → jobs.getQueryResults) — submit, poll, then page results. The route you use directly for destination tables, BATCH priority, or load/extract/copy jobs. Everything else (datasets, tables, schemas) is a simple GET. Request setup Authentication is handled by the runtime — credentials are injected into outbound requests to this API, so there is nothing to set up. Do not try to create, mint, refresh, or validate tokens or keys. Credential
