Retail API: Data export for analytics and other use cases is in GA

## Announcement **Retail API: Data export for analytics and other use cases is in GA** Exporting retail data into BigQuery is now generally available ([GA](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages)), allowing you to extract insights from your data. You can use the data to get Key Performance Indicators with our out-of-the-box [Looker dashboard](https://cloud.google.com/retail/docs/get-dashboards-that-show-kpis), and sales forecasts using [Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/retail/docs/generate-sales-forecasts) and our step-by-step instructions. ## Feature **Entities** are available as a way to subdivide your retail organization into more than one segment. For example, entities can represent different regions where stores are located or differently branded stores, such as acquisitions. Recommendations, search results, and autocomplete can give results tailored specifically for an entity. For more information, see [Entities](https://cloud.google.com/retail/docs/entities). ## Feature The **Data quality** page assesses the quality of your product catalog and user event data and shows you which search performance tiers you have unlocked for Retail Search. For more information, see [Unlock search performance tiers](https://cloud.google.com/retail/docs/data-quality). The **Data quality** _page_ replaces the **Data Quality** _panel_ which was on the Retail console Data page.
