# Firebase Connector

## Intro

Firebase provides a real-time database for storing and syncing your data.  To learn more about the Firebase API, visit their page ([https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/ "https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/") ).

You connect to your Firebase account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Firebase connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926274?language=en_US "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Prerequisites

To connect to your Firebase account and create a DataSet, you must have a Firebase API Authentication Key and a Firebase Name.

## Connecting to Your Firebase Account

This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes in the Firebase Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926274?language=en_US "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Firebase account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" data-aura-rendered-by="33:195;a"><thead><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><span class="s1"> Field </span></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><span class="s1"> Description </span></p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> API Authentication Key </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Enter your Firebase API authentication key. (To generate Authentication Key, Login into firebase console, click the project. Project Overview > Settings Gear icon > Project Settings > Service Accounts > Database Secrets > Add Secret). </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Firebase Name </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Enter the Firebase Name. Login into firebase console, click the project. Project Overview > Settings Gear icon > Project Settings > Database Name. </p></td></tr></tbody></table>

Once you have entered valid Firebase credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Firebase DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the **Accounts** tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see [Managing User Accounts for Connectors](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926054?language=en_US "Managing User Accounts for Connectors").

## Details Pane

This pane contains several menus for configuring your Firebase report.

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" data-aura-rendered-by="33:195;a"><thead><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Menu </p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Description </p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Data Tag Name </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Enter the data tag name in the format <span class="mt-font-courier-new"> tag/data </span>. For example, if you wanted to fetch the data for "coordinates," which is under the "geometry" tag, you would enter <span class="mt-font-courier-new"> geometry/coordinates </span>. </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Root Tag Name </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Enter the root tag for the data in your JSON text. </p></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Other Panes
