Quickstart
Connect your BigQuery project and run your first query in under 10 minutes.
Step-by-step setup
Create your Datavine account
Go to datavine.app and sign up with your email or Google account. You'll be taken through a short onboarding wizard.
Choose Personal workspace if you're working alone, or Organization if you want to invite teammates.
Create a GCP service account
In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to IAM → Service Accounts.
Click Create Service Account, give it a name like datavine-reader, and grant it these two roles:
roles/bigquery.dataViewerroles/bigquery.jobUserroles/aiplatform.user(for AI features)
Also enable the Vertex AI API in your GCP project for AI SQL generation, Data Chat, and anomaly analysis to work.
Then go to Keys → Add Key → Create new key → JSON. Download the JSON file.
Connect your GCP project
In Datavine, open Settings → Connections or click Connect Project on the dashboard.
Enter your GCP Project ID (found in the Google Cloud Console header, e.g. my-project-123456).
Upload the service account JSON file you downloaded in step 2. Credentials are encrypted at rest and never exposed to the browser.
Run your first query
Navigate to SQL Editor in the left sidebar. Your datasets will appear in the left panel.
Click any table to see its schema, or type a query directly:
SELECT *
FROM `your-project.your-dataset.your-table`
LIMIT 100Press Cmd/Ctrl + Enter to run. Results appear in the panel below.
Try AI SQL generation
In the SQL Editor, click Visual Query Builder at the top. Describe what you want in plain English:
"Show me total revenue by customer for the last 30 days, ordered by highest first"
Datavine uses Vertex AI (Gemini) to generate the SQL. Review it, then click Run.
