I am trying to load a CSV file to BigQuery using a python script modelled on the python sample code here: https://developers.google.com/bigquery/docs/developers_guide
But I’m running into the following error when I try to load a table with the REST API:
{'status': '200', 'content-length': '1492', 'expires': 'Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT', 'server': 'HTTP Upload Server Built on Jun 14 2012 02:12:09 (1339665129)', 'etag': '"tcivyOj9QvKAbuEJ5MEMf9we85w/-mxYhUDjvvydxcebR8fXI6l_5RQ"', 'pragma': 'no-cache', 'cache-control': 'no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate', 'date': 'Fri, 06 Jul 2012 22:30:55 GMT', 'content-type': 'application/json'}

},

{
"reason": "notFound",
"message": "Not Found: Dataset 385479794093:telephony_logs"
}
]
}
}
The projectId listed in the error “385479794093” is not the projectId that I pass in, it’s the “project number”. The projectId should be “firespotter.com:firespotter”:
{
"kind": "bigquery#datasetList",
"etag": "\"tcivyOj9QvKAbuEJ5MEMf9we85w/ZMa8z6LKMgWZIqLWh3ti2SsSs4g\"",
"datasets": [
{
"kind": "bigquery#dataset",
"id": "firespotter.com:firespotter:telephony_logs",
"datasetReference": {
"datasetId": "telephony_logs",
"projectId": "firespotter.com:firespotter"
}
}
]
}
Why does the REST API insist on supplying its own incorrect projectId, when I pass the correct value in three different places? Is there another place where I need to pass in or set the Project ID?
For reference, here is the relevant code snippet:

Did you recently set the project id to firespotter.com:firespotter? If the dataset was created before the project was named, there will be a mismatch between the old project id and the new. There is an automated system that updates project ids, but it is possible that it hasn’t run yet or is having a problem (I’m on vacation right now, so can’t check). Hopefully, if you retry again some time soon it will just work. If not, let us know.
