In order to access a Firebase project using a server SDK, you must authenticate your requests to Firebase with Service Account credentials.
To authenticate a service account and authorize it to access Firebase services, you must generate a private key file in JSON format.
To generate a private key file for your service account:
Open https://console.firebase.google.com/project/_/settings/serviceaccounts/adminsdk and select the project you want to generate a private key file for.
Click Generate New Private Key, then confirm by clicking Generate Key
Securely store the JSON file containing the key.
After downloading the service account key, you need to upload this to the backend.
On the backend go to Admin > Api Credentials. Then upload the just downloaded Firebase Service Account File (JSON) *.
