## Description[¶](https://www.dataiku.com/product/plugins/looker-query/)

This plugin loads the records from a Looker saved query (also called a Look) into a Dataiku DSS dataset by querying the Looker API.

Looker query result sets are read-only. This plugin does not offer the option to write-back to Looker, we encourage you to write to an underlying database Looker has access to.

## Installation Notes[¶](https://www.dataiku.com/product/plugins/looker-query/)

The plugin can be installed from the Plugin Store or via the zip download (see above).
