I am using nodejs and the REST API to interact with bigquery. I am using the google-oauth-jwt module for JWT signing.
I granted a service account write permission. So far I can list projects, list datasets, create a table and delete a table. But when it comes to upload a file via multipart POST, I ran into two problems:
- gzipped json file doesn't work, I get an error saying "end boundary missing"
- when I use uncompressed json file, I get a 401 unauthorized error
I don't think this is related to my machine's time being out of sync since other REST api calls worked as expected.
var url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/upload/bigquery/v2/projects/' + projectId + '/jobs';
var request = googleOauthJWT.requestWithJWT();
var jobResource = {
jobReference: {
projectId: projectId,
jobId: jobId
},
configuration: {
load: {
sourceFormat: 'NEWLINE_DELIMITED_JSON',
destinationTable: {
projectId: projectId,
datasetId: datasetId,
tableId: tableId
},
createDisposition: '',
writeDisposition: ''
}
}
};
request(
{
url: url,
method: 'POST',
jwt: jwtParams,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'multipart/related'
},
qs: {
uploadType: 'multipart'
},
multipart: [
{
'Content-Type':'application/json; charset=UTF-8',
body: JSON.stringify(jobResource)
},
{
'Content-Type':'application/octet-stream',
body: fileBuffer.toString()
}
]
},
function(err, response, body) {
console.log(JSON.parse(body).selfLink);
}
);
Can anyone shine some light on this?
P.S. the documentation on bigquery REST api is not up to date on many things, wish the google guys can keep it updated
