First, you need a python package of google-api-client. You can install it using pip

pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client

Then set the environment variable, which points to your service account credentials. If you don't have a service account, create a new service account and download a json credentials to your local.

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/credentials.json

Now all things are set, just write a python code,

from apiclient import discovery
from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials

credentials = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()
bq_client = discovery.build('bigquery', 'v2', credentials=credentials)

Discover the BigQuery APIs and Google APIs Explorer.
