@ and other Bravo experts: We're trying to create an app for our startup, and have the following query:
The front-end is in Bravo, and the back-end is using Firestore. We have set up Firebase auth, how can we use the auth tokens returned by Firebase to query Firestore?
As of now, when we use the URL to access a record in Firestore, it (obviously) gives us a 401 Unauthorized error. Firestore accepts Firebase auth tokens. Please help us with how to access the auth token each time a user logs in to query Firestore!

Hi Aayushi,
with Bravo you only have access to the user.id and user.email of the Firebase account. They can be accessed through request variables: https://docs.bravostudio.app/resources/app-cases/build-a-notes-app-with-user-id-and-email-from-firebase
Hey , we created some documentation showing how you can create API requests targeting Firestore, using our existing Firebase integration: https://docs.bravostudio.app/connnec-api/browse-by-backend/firebase/getting-data-from-firestore
If you need any further help, let us know :)
This was extremely helpful, thanks so much!!
Will we need to make this sign-in request each time a user signs in? If yes, where would you recommend we make this request to obtain the auth token to access firestore?
we get this error when using the auth key we get back from the documentation you shared:
"API keys are not supported by this API. Expected OAuth2 access token or other authentication credentials that assert a principal. See https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication" with a 401 code.
Our team is trying to debug this, but can you please help us with this if you have seen this error before? It seems like they need OAuth2 tokens to read user data.
- would really appreciate some help on this! Our team has been blocked for a while :/
Resolved.
how did you resolved this?
