    description: >-
      The BigQuery API provides programmatic access to Google BigQuery for creating,
      managing, and querying datasets, tables, jobs, and other BigQuery resources.
      Developers can use the API to load data, run queries, export results, and manage
      access control on BigQuery resources. The API supports SQL-based analytics over
      petabytes of data with serverless infrastructure.

    description: >-
      The BigQuery Connection API enables developers to create and manage connections
      between BigQuery and external data sources such as Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner, and
      other databases. These connections allow BigQuery to query data in external sources
      without moving or copying data. The API supports creating, updating, deleting,
      and listing connections as well as managing IAM policies on connections.

      The BigQuery Reservation API allows developers to manage slot reservations and
      capacity commitments for BigQuery compute resources. It provides programmatic
      control over how compute capacity is allocated across projects and organizations,
      enabling cost optimization and workload management. The API supports creating
      reservations, managing assignments, and purchasing capacity commitments.

    name: BigQuery Storage API
    description: >-
      The BigQuery Storage API provides high-throughput read and write access to BigQuery
      managed storage. It enables developers to read data from BigQuery tables using an
      efficient streaming protocol that is significantly faster than the traditional
      tabledata.list method. The API supports parallel reads, column filtering, and row
      filtering to optimize data transfer performance.
