Login to bigquery from golang using json keyfile

So I have a json keyfile that looks like this:

{
  "user_agent": null,
  "_scopes": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery",
  "token_uri": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token",
  "refresh_token": null,
  "_service_account_email": "...",
  "assertion_type": null,
  "_kwargs": {},
  "revoke_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/revoke",
  "_private_key_pkcs8_pem": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- ..."
  ...
}

I want to login using this file to bigquery, with Golang. I looked through the examples at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-go but couldn't find anything related there how to create a new bigquery client using the keyfile. Am I missing something obvious?

In python the quivalent is:

        credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(
                'keyfile.json',
                'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery')

        ...

First: the file I posted is the wrong keyfile, for more details, check this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38709324/unexpected-credentials-type-none-expected-service-account-with-oauth2/41494815#41494815

Second: this is the code that worked for me (listing the available datasets):

package main

import (
	"cloud.google.com/go/bigquery"
	"fmt"
	"golang.org/x/net/context"
	"google.golang.org/api/iterator"
	"google.golang.org/api/option"
)

func main() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := bigquery.NewClient(ctx, "project-name", option.WithCredentialsFile("keyfile.json"))

	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}

	it := client.Datasets(ctx)
	for {
		dataset, err := it.Next()
		if err == iterator.Done {
			break
		}
		fmt.Println(dataset.DatasetID)
	}

	println("logged in")
}

That took forever to find out today …
