Google Data Studio Integration

This page walks through the Secoda and GDS integration that Secoda supports
Secoda has two methods of integrating with Google Data Studio: retrieving a session cookie and using Google OAuth
NOTE: Using the Google OAuth method does not extract upstream (datasources) and downstream (charts) lineage due to the limitations of the Google Data Studio API
NOTE: The session cookies expire after 12 hours and you need to re-retrieve the cookie each time you wish to run the extraction.
