The IDC API is intended to enable exploration of IDC hosted data without the need to understand and use the Structure Query Language (SQL). To this end, data exploration capabilities through the IDC API are limited. However, IDC data is hosted using the standard capabilities of the the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Storage (GCS) and BigQuery (BQ) components. Therefore, all of the capabilities provided by GCP to access GCS storage buckets and BQ tables are available for more advanced interaction with that data using GCP API.
