Google BigQuery API integration with managed OAuth. Run SQL queries, manage datasets and tables, and analyze data at scale.
Use this skill when users want to query BigQuery data, create or manage datasets/tables, run analytics jobs, or work with BigQuery resources.
For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# Google BigQuery
Access the Google BigQuery API with managed OAuth authentication. Run SQL queries, manage datasets and tables, and analyze data at scale.
Quick Start
# Run a simple query
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'query': 'SELECT 1 as test_value', 'useLegacySql': False}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-bigquery/bigquery/v2/projects/{projectId}/queries', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFBase URL
https://gateway.maton.ai/google-bigquery/bigquery/v2/{resource-path}Replace `{resource-path}` with the actual BigQuery API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `bigquery.googleapis.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.
Authentication
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"Getting Your API Key
1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Google BigQuery OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.
List Connections
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=google-bigquery&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFCreate Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'google-bigquery'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFGet Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF**Response:**
{
"connection": {
"connection_id": "c8463a31-e5b4-4e52-9a32-e78dcd7ba7b1",
"status": "ACTIVE",
"creation_time": "2026-02-14T09:02:02.780520Z",

"url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
"app": "google-bigquery",
"metadata": {}
}
}Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.
Delete Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFSpecifying Connection
If you have multiple Google BigQuery connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-bigquery/bigquery/v2/projects')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'c8463a31-e5b4-4e52-9a32-e78dcd7ba7b1')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFIf omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
