bigquery.utils.flatten(x)

Flatten response objects into something we can actually work with.

The API returns data of the form:

{‘f’: [{‘v’: …}]}

to indicate groupings of fields and their potential for having multiple values. We want those to just be plain old objects.

Parameters:

x (Any)

Return type:

Any

bigquery.utils.parse(field, value)

Parse a given field back to a Python object.

This is often trivial: convert the value from a string to the type specified in the field’s schema. There’s a couple caveats we’ve identified so far, though:

• NULLABLE fields should be handled specially, eg. so as not to accidentally convert them to the schema type.

• REPEATED fields are nested a biot differently than expected, so we need to flatten first, then convert.

Field = Dict[str, Union[str, ‘Field’]], but wow is that difficult to represent in a backwards-enough compatible fashion.

Parameters:

• field (Dict[str, Any])

• value (Any)

Return type:

Any

bigquery.utils.query_response_to_dict(response)

Convert a query response to a dictionary.

API responses for job queries are packed into a difficult-to-use format. This method deserializes a response into a List of rows, with each row being a dictionary of field names to the row’s value.

This method also handles converting the values according to the schema defined in the response (eg. into builtin python types).

Parameters:

response (Dict[str, Any])

Return type:

List[Dict[str, Any]]
