+# Getting Started with BigQuery Data Transfer API
+
+[BigQuery Data Transfer Service][BigQuery Data Transfer] features an API that
+allows developers to create transfer jobs from data sources to BigQuery.
+These sample Java applications demonstrate how to access the BigQuery Data
+Transfer API using the [Google Cloud Client Library for
+Java][google-cloud-java].
+
+[BigQuery Data Transfer]: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/transfer-service-overview
+[google-cloud-java]: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-java
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Install [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/).
+
+[Authenticate using a service account](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started).
+Create a service account, download a JSON key file, and set the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable.
+
+Build your project with:
+
+	mvn clean package -DskipTests
+
+You can then run a given `ClassName` via:
+
+	mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.example.bigquerydatatransfer.ClassName \
+	    -DpropertyName=propertyValue \
+		-Dexec.args="any arguments to the app"
+
+### Listing available data sources
+
+    mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.example.bigquerydatatransfer.QuickstartSample \
+        -Dexec.args='YOUR_PROJECT_ID'
