Overview

The Google Cloud Storage (GCS) connector provides a convenient way of exporting data directly from the Decentriq platform to a GCS bucket.

See here for more information about importing audiences into Permutive.

Prerequisites

• Have a Google Cloud account.
• Have an existing Cloud Storage bucket where data can be uploaded.
• Have existing service account credentials.

Step-by-step guide

1. Follow the steps to select a dataset for export and choose Google Cloud Storage from the list of connectors.

2. Input the requisite information (to retrieve bucket related information see here):

   • Bucket name: Name of the GCS bucket where the data should be exported.
   • Object name: Dataset name when uploaded to the bucket.
   • Credentials: The service account credentials associated with the Google Cloud account (see the Google documentation for more details). This takes the form of a JSON file generated when setting up the service account and contains the following information:
     • type: Identifies the type of credentials (this will be set to service_account).
     • project_id: The ID of your Google Cloud project.
     • private_key_id: The identifier for the private key.
     • private_key: The actual private key used for authentication - in PEM format.
     • client_email: The email address of the service account.
     • client_id: A unique identifier for the service account.
     • auth_uri: The URL to initiate OAuth2 authentication requests.
     • token_uri: The URL to retrieve OAuth2 tokens.
     • auth_provider_x509_cert_url: The URL to get Google's public certificates for verifying signatures.
     • client_x509_cert_url: The URL to the public certificate for the service account.
     • universe_domain: The domain of the API endpoint
   

3. After clicking the Export button navigate to the Imports/Exports tab on the Datasets page to track the status of the export.

   

4. Once completed, the dataset will be accessible in the specified GCS bucket.
