Question

I’m using Google’s ruby api client to talk to big query and I have it all set up and working, except for queries where I’m getting this error:

{"error"=>
  {"errors"=>
    [{"reason"=>"required",
      "domain"=>"global",
      "message"=>"Required parameter is missing"}],
   "code"=>400,
   "message"=>"Required parameter is missing"}}

Here is what I’m calling:

bq = client.discovered_api("bigquery", "v2")

resp = client.execute(
    bq.jobs.query,
    {  "projectId" => "1234",
     "query" => "SELECT count(*) FROM [api_logs.api_logs_week_28__Jul_2012] where timestamp >= 1341817200 and timestamp <= 1341903599"
    }
)

The frustrating part is on the query api docs, these same exact parameters work just fine. Any ideas?

Answer 1

First- – I don’t know ruby, but I do know bigquery, so I’ve taken a look at the ruby google drive example and tried to adapt it:

  result = client.execute(
    :api_method =>  bq.jobs.query,
    :body_object => { "query" => "SELECT 17" },
    :parameters => { "projectId => "1234" })

Essentially the projectId needs to be a parameter, and the query needs to be in the post data.
