BigQuery Storage API is one of 11 APIs that [Google BigQuery](https://apis.io/providers/google-bigquery/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include High Throughput, Storage, and Streaming. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

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.
