# Google Cloud cost tracking

Sumloop pulls Google Cloud cost on a schedule and puts it in the same ledger
as every other vendor a team pays.

| What Sumloop reads | monthly cost in USD |
| Reported in | USD |
| Credential | Service account key (JSON), Export table, Query project |
| Access | Read-only. Sumloop cannot change a resource or spend money. |
| Annual commitments | Spread by Sumloop |

## How to connect Google Cloud

1. In the Cloud console, open Billing > Billing export and enable the **Standard usage cost** export to BigQuery. Data starts arriving within a few hours.
2. Create a service account and grant it BigQuery Job User on the project that will run the query, plus BigQuery Data Viewer on the export dataset.
3. Create a JSON key for that service account and paste the whole file below.
4. Paste the export table as `project.dataset.table` — the console shows it on the export page (it looks like `acme.billing.gcp_billing_export_v1_0A1B2C`).
