GA4 BigQuery export

The GA4 BigQuery export sends your raw GA4 event data to a BigQuery dataset for custom analysis.

Written by Reflective Data experts · updated Oct 5, 2026

Standard GA4 properties have a daily export limit of one million events, and the export pauses when it is exceeded. Larger sites either upgrade to GA360 or collect a parallel stream of events themselves.

Raw exports unlock unsampled analysis, joins with other data and machine learning.
