Documentation

Fields	Description
Base
kind	string The resource type. Will always be "table".
id	integer A unique, persistent identifier for the table.
uri	string The fully qualified URI of this table, for use in generating calls to this API. For example, /tables/imathews.ian_s_dataset:123:v1_0.test_table:3
qualifiedReference	string The fully qualified reference to this table, for use (e.g.) in a SQL query. For example, demo.reddit:prpw:v1_0.posts:7q4m
scopedReference	string The canonical reference for the table, without any qualifiers. E.g., posts:7q4m
referenceId	string A persistent, 4-character identifier for this table. Will always be unique across all tables within a dataset / project.
url	string The table's discoverable url.
name	string The table's user-provided name.
hash	string A hex-encoded MD5 hash of the number of bytes, number of rows, variable names, and variable types in the table. Note that this is not a hash of the data in the table. It is possible for two tables to have identical hashes but different data if the schema, number of rows, and number of bytes remain unchanged.
isSample	boolean Whether or not the table represents a sample of another table. Will always be false for tables that belong to a project.
isFileIndex	boolean Whether or not the table represents a collection of non-tabular files, with each row representing a file. Index tables are also referred to as "Folders" in some parts of the user interface.
uploadMergeStrategy	string Only present on tables belonging to a dataset. Defines whether uploads in subsequent versions replace or append to the previous version's content.
Get
createdAt	integer When the table was created. Stored as milliseconds since the epoch (1970-01-01).
updatedAt	integer When the table was updated. Stored as milliseconds since the epoch (1970-01-01).
description	string A user-provided description of the table. May be null.
numRows	integer The number of rows in the table.
numBytes	integer The number of bytes stored in the table.
variableCount	integer The number of variables in the table.
canDownload	boolean Whether or not the data in the table can be exported to the current client environment. Will be false if in violation of at least one export restriction, or if scopedAccessLevel < 'data' If false, all calls that return tableRows or exports will fail with a 403 status code.
entity	object The user provided "entity" of the table, defining what each row in the table represents. May be null.
entity.name	object The name of the entity.
temporalRange	array(integer, integer) Will be null if no range has been specified. A tuple representing the start and end values for the temporal range. Stored as milliseconds since the epoch (1970-01-01). Note that in the case where temporalPrecision is "year" or "date", the upper bound of this value will store one millisecond before the next offset. For example: [1980, 1982] => [1980-01-01 00:00:00.000, 1982-12-31 23:59:59.999] [1990-09-19, 1990-09-24] => [1990-09-19 00:00:00.000, 1990-09-24 23:59:59.999]
temporalPrecision	string The precision of the temporal range. Will be one of "year", "date", "dateTime"
geoBBox	object An object describing the geographic bounding box of all geographic variables in the table. Will only be present for tables containing "geography" variables, and if those variables' summary statistics have been computed (computation is performed automatically when a version of a dataset is released).
geoBBox .westLongitude .eastLongitude .northLatitude	number Each property represents one side of the bounding box, expressed in numeric degrees.
publicAccessLevel	string The accessLevel of the table to unauthenticated users. Will be one of: "none", "overview", "metadata", "data"
scopedAccessLevel	string The accessLevel of the table for this request, taking into account the access token being used. This will never be higher than the requesting user's access level. Will be one of: "none", "overview", "metadata", "data"
accessLevel	string The accessLevel of the table for the current user, ignoring the access token being used. Will be one of: "none", "overview", "metadata", "data"
container	object Either the project or dataset within which this table is contained. Will be the base definition of either a project or dataset resource.
