Can't access CrUX Dataset on Google BigQuery

Question

maybe my question is not directly programming related but kind of like pre-programming, because I can't even access the data I want to query and i saw that possible tags exist on here. I'm trying to access the CrUX dataset on Google BigQuery. But all searches on the Google Cloud Console didn't return the dataset. Maybe I'm just looking at the wrong search fields or just can't access it, but it should be publically visible right? I activated my account and also started the trial by providing my payment details. I tried various search patterns (chrome-ux-report, Chrome User, Chrome UX Report, Chrome User Experience Report) in multiple Search fields:

• I tried to search on the Marketplace (without setting filters) but only the Chrome UX Report API is returned here

• Also when I search in Big Query directly, no result is returned. I tried all possible search fields that I found:

  • in the Explorer

  • the +ADD Button

  • the search bar at the top

Maybe sombody can help me here. Thank you in advance for your reply and help!
Best Regards!

You can follow the instructions in the CrUX documentation

Using BigQuery requires a GCP project and basic knowledge of SQL. The CrUX dataset on BigQuery is free to access and explore up to the limits of the free tier, which is renewed monthly and provided by BigQuery. Additionally, new GCP users may be eligible for a signup credit to cover expenses beyond the free tier. Note that a credit card must be provided for the GCP project, see Why do I need to provide a credit card?.

If this is your first time using BigQuery then follow below steps to set up a project:

1. Navigate to Google Cloud Platform.
2. Click Create a Project.
3. Give your new project a name like “My Chrome UX Report” and click Create.
4. Provide your billing information if prompted.
5. Navigate to the CrUX dataset on BigQuery

Now you're ready to start querying the dataset.
