credentials: You can authenticate with your bigtable instance using either GCP Credentials Path where you can specify the file path of the service account key or you can pass the values directly by choosing the GCP Credentials Values from the service account key file.

You can checkout this documentation on how to create the service account keys and download it.

gcpConfig:

1. Passing the raw credential values provided by BigTable. This requires us to provide the following information, all provided by BigTable:

• type: Credentials Type is the type of the account, for a service account the value of this field is service_account. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the type key in the service account key file.
• projectId: A project ID is a unique string used to differentiate your project from all others in Google Cloud. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the project_id key in the service account key file. You can also pass multiple project id to ingest metadata from different BigTable projects into one service.
• privateKeyId: This is a unique identifier for the private key associated with the service account. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the private_key_id key in the service account file.
• privateKey: This is the private key associated with the service account that is used to authenticate and authorize access to BigTable. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the private_key key in the service account file.
• clientEmail: This is the email address associated with the service account. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the client_email key in the service account key file.
• clientId: This is a unique identifier for the service account. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the client_id key in the service account key file.
• authUri: This is the URI for the authorization server. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the auth_uri key in the service account key file. The default value to Auth URI is https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth.
• tokenUri: The Google Cloud Token URI is a specific endpoint used to obtain an OAuth 2.0 access token from the Google Cloud IAM service. This token allows you to authenticate and access various Google Cloud resources and APIs that require authorization. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the token_uri key in the service account credentials file. Default Value to Token URI is https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token.
• authProviderX509CertUrl: This is the URL of the certificate that verifies the authenticity of the authorization server. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the auth_provider_x509_cert_url key in the service account key file. The Default value for Auth Provider X509Cert URL is https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs
• clientX509CertUrl: This is the URL of the certificate that verifies the authenticity of the service account. To fetch this key, look for the value associated with the client_x509_cert_url key in the service account key file.

2. Passing a local file path that contains the credentials:

• gcpCredentialsPath

Advanced Configuration

2. Run with the CLI

First, we will need to save the YAML file. Afterward, and with all requirements installed, we can run:

Note that from connector to connector, this recipe will always be the same. By updating the YAML configuration, you will be able to extract metadata from different sources.
