title: REST Api calls to google big query
body: <p>I am trying to make a rest api call for google big query from the terminal.
  I tried with bq query which works.</p>
  
  <pre><code>bq query 'select count(*) from publicdata:samples.shakespeare'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Just wondering what is the rest end point for bq? Or is there any http rest api call for big query which can be executed from the terminal?</p>
  
  <p>Something like </p>
  
  <pre><code>Get http://...//'select count(*) from publicdata:samples.shakespeare'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>
