Connect BigQuery to Wobby

Connect BigQuery to Wobby

To connect your Google BigQuery project to Wobby, follow these steps:

1. Create a service account for Wobby access.

2. Grant read-only permissions to the datasets.

3. Download and upload the service account key to Wobby.

4. Set up the connection in the Wobby interface.

⚠️ Wobby’s agents only run read-only queries on your data. No write or admin privileges are needed.

1. Create a Service Account

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console → IAM & Admin → Service Accounts.

2. Click Create Service Account.

3. Name it something like wobby-access.

4. Skip granting roles at this stage (you’ll assign dataset-specific roles next).

5. After creation, go to the account and create a JSON key:

   • Click Keys tab → Add Key → Create New Key (JSON).

   • Save the JSON file. You’ll upload this to Wobby in the next step.

2. Grant Read Access to BigQuery Datasets

Assign the service account access to only the datasets you want Wobby to query. You can do this at the dataset level or project level (if needed).

To grant access at the dataset level:

1. Go to BigQuery → your dataset.

2. Click Sharing (or open the "Permissions" tab).

3. Add the service account email (e.g. [e-mail]).

4. Assign the role:

   BigQuery Data Viewer (roles/bigquery.dataViewer)

✅ This gives the Wobby agent read-only access to the dataset—tables, views, and metadata.

3. Allow Wobby’s IP Address

If your BigQuery server is protected by firewall or network rules, allow inbound traffic from Wobby’s static IP:

34.77.172.158

---

4. Upload Service Account Key to Wobby

Make sure you have the JSON key file downloaded (from Step 1).

You’ll upload this file directly in the Wobby interface to authenticate the connection.

---

5. Set Up the Connection in Wobby

1. Go to Wobby → Data Sources.

2. Click New BigQuery Connection.

3. Fill in the following details:

   • Project ID: your Google Cloud project

   • Default Dataset: the one Wobby should start with

   • Service Account Key: paste the JSON key file

4. Test the connection and save.

📂 Wobby will respect the access scopes set in BigQuery—only querying what the service account can see.

That’s It!

Wobby is now connected to BigQuery and can start analyzing your data using natural language—no dashboards, no SQL, just answers.
