This Integration requires Fides Cloud or Fides Enterprise. For more information, [talk to our solutions team. (opens in a new tab)](/content/speak-with-us?utm_source=docs-site/index.html)

[Firebase (opens in a new tab)](https://firebase.google.com/) is a comprehensive platform by Google for developing web and mobile applications, providing tools for backend services, database management, authentication, hosting, and more.

## Prerequisites [Permalink for this section](/content/docs/integrations/saas-integrations/firebase#prerequisites/index.html)

Firebase credentials are provided when [generating a private key (opens in a new tab)](https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup#set-up-project-and-service-account) as a JSON credentials file. You will need to extract the fields below from this.

In order to [integrate](/content/docs/integrations/index.html) with Firebase, you'll need to collect and input the following information:

| Name | Description |
| :-- | :-- |
| **Domain*** | The unique URL for your Firebase instance. |
| **Type of account*** | The type of account to use for connecting to Firebase, extracted from the credentials file as `type` (default: `service_account`) |
| **Project ID*** | The ID of the project in Firebase, extracted from the credentials file as `project_id` |
| **Private key ID*** | The ID of the private key for your service account, extracted from the credentials file as `private_key_id` |
| **Private key*** | The private key for your service account, extracted from the credentials file as `private_key` |
| **Client email*** | The client email for your service account, extracted from the credentials file as `client_email` |
| **Client ID*** | The client ID for your service account, extracted from the credentials file as `client_id` |
| **Auth URI*** | The URL for authorization, extracted from the credentials file as `auth_uri` (default: `https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth`) |
| **Token URI*** | The URL for the token, extracted from the credentials file as `token_uri` (default: `https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token`) |
| **Auth Provider Certificate URL*** | The URL for the Auth provider's x509 public key certificate, extracted from the credentials file as `auth_provider_x509_cert_url` (default: `https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs`) |
| **Client Certificate URL*** | The URL for the client's x509 public key certificate, extracted from the credentials file as `client_x509_cert_url` |

## Technical detail [Permalink for this section](/content/docs/integrations/saas-integrations/firebase#technical-detail/index.html)

Fides utilizes _API endpoints_ to access the _API service_ for a SaaS application. An _API service_ is the programmatic interface through which Fides can query and update data within an application to access, rectify, or delete personal information. Each SaaS tool will have a unique set of endpoints to enable privacy functions.

### Firebase endpoints [Permalink for this section](/content/docs/integrations/saas-integrations/firebase#firebase-endpoints/index.html)

In the table below, you can find which endpoints are used for each type of privacy function. Clicking on the endpoint will take you to the documentation for that endpoint.

| Privacy function | Endpoint | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Access and erasure requests** | [User (opens in a new tab)](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rest/auth#section-get-account-info) | Retrieve and erase user data |
