How to connect Google Search Console to BigQuery manually using REST API

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the manual integration, ensure you have the following:

  • A Google Search Console property with full access.
  • A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account with BigQuery enabled.
  • A Service Account with the necessary permissions for BigQuery.

Step 1. Retrieve your data from Google Search Console

You can access data from Google Search Console through the Search Console APIs.

There are two available APIs: the Search Console API and the URL Testing Tools API.

If you utilize the Search Console API, you must implement the OAuth 2.0 protocol for initial authorization.

When working with the Search Console API, remember to consider rate limits, OAuth authentication, and the challenges of handling large volumes of data.

Step 2. Transform and prepare Google Search Console data

After obtaining data from Google Search Console, the next step involves transforming it based on two primary factors:

  1. Database limitations: Consider the limitations of the destination database where the data will be loaded, including supported data types and structures.
  2. Analysis type: Consider the type of analysis you intend to perform on the data.

When loading data from Google Search Console to BigQuery, specific considerations include:

  • Sending nested data like JSON directly.
  • Flattening tabular data before loading it into the database.
  • Selecting appropriate data types based on the destination system and API-exposed data types.
  • Mapping reports to database tables, ensuring proper data storage, and transforming dimensions and metrics into data columns.

To prevent duplicates, you must ensure that reports received from Google Search Console don’t contain primary keys provided by Google.

Step 3. Load data from Google Search Console to Google BigQuery

To load Google Search Console data into Google BigQuery, you can choose from several supported methods, including:

  • Google Cloud Storage
  • Directly sending data to BigQuery with a POST request
  • Google Cloud Datastore Backup
  • Streaming insert
