Streaming JSON into Bigquery

From the Google Drive API I receive an array of Structs type File. My aim is to add a few fields and stream the data into BigQuery.

My first approach was to change the File Struct and stream the updated Structs to BigQuery. This looks like a dead end and I am trying to use the suggested method, Marshall the Struct into JSON and stream that into BigQuery.

I found this example bigquery-table-insert-rows, but that implements the ValueSaver interface. For me a simple Marshall and then stream the JSON to BigQuery should be enough.

However, I can't find any method or example that does that. So I would like to know if it is possible, stream JSON into BigQuery using Go. An basic example would be great.

You are on the right track in thinking that just providing the structs is enough.

Maybe looking at some simple but complete code will be of some help: https://github.com/tovare/idporten

All I do is put a slice of structs, where the structs are annotated with BigQuery.

type Metric struct {
    Timestamp time.Time `bigquery:"timestamp"`
    Metode    string    `bigquery:"metode"`
    Antall    int       `bigquery:"antall"`
}

....

seriesTableRef := client.Dataset(datasetName).Table(tableName)
    if err := seriesTableRef.Inserter().Put(ctx, metrics); err != nil {
        return err
    }
