Firebase to External Google BigQuery - firebase

I'm trying to export Firebase data to Google BigQuery using this guidance https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/6318765?hl=en#zippy=%2Cin-this-article
It works, but my question is,
If I've already had another Google BigQuery Instance (different Project ID with Firebase)
Is it possible to direct link from Firebase to external Google BigQuery?
How to do that?
Thanks

Google analytics migration to firebase

I have a project which has google analytics and we have important data in GA which we don't want to loose is there any possible way while migrating to FireBase Analytics we can have this data there as well.
What I have tried so far is we can export data from GA in JSON format using Big Query, is there any way we can import this data to FireBase analytics using Big Query or is there a way I can link my GA account to firebase project and data migration will be done automatically?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, the answer is no: there is no way to import old data to Firebase. That's why during the transition period (from GA to Firebase) it's recommended to use both SDKs or Google Tag Manager in order to log everything to both GA and Firebase. Then when you have built enough historical data in Firebase you can switch to it.
If you need both sets of data (Firebase and GA) you can export your GA analytics data to BigQuery, export Firebase data to BigQuery and then combine them and process them outside of Firebase, for example using Data Studio.

Question on migration to Google Analytics for Firebase and BigQuery

We currently have hundreds app on Google Analytics Mobile. We understand we need to migrate over to Google Analytics for Firebase. We have some questions which we need help to understand:
Current set up:
Currently we have multiple Google Cloud Platform accounts each with a number of API projects (one per app). Each API Project ID is used to created a Firebase Project for that Google Platform account.
In (old) Google Analytics Mobile we use the the REST API to get data for each app to be displayed in a custom dashboard:
sessions
unique users
demographics
geographic
affinity groups
Questions:
A) How do we replicate this in Google Analytics for Firebase? Is there a REST API for Google Analytics for Firebase to retrieve this information?
B) I understand an option is to migrate the Firebase analytics into BigQuery? Does BigQuery provide a REST API to extract the above data ? Is there a cost to using BigQuery.
C) Given we have multiple Google Cloud Platform accounts and each with multiple API Projects and linked to a Firebase project. Can all these Firebase projects be connected to the same BigQuery instance?
Many thanks

Integrating Branch.io with Google Analytics when app is connected using Firebase

I want to integrate Branch.io with the Google Analytics property for my app.
I have succesfully linked my app to Google Analytics using Firebase, but since I used Firebase as the tracking method, I don't have any Tracking ID, that I can enter in Branch.io's data integrations.
Has anyone found a solution to this?
Unfortunately, we do not have direct integration with Firebase. You can switch to Google Analytics to obtain your tracking ID. You can find more info on our documentation.

How to get report from Firebase analytics using Firebase admin API

I am using node js Firebase SDK.
How can I access analytics data from Firebase, with the help of Firebase admin API.
Update: there is now an API to get the Analytics reports data. See my answer here: Is there any api for dashboard analytics data?
You can also:
download the analytics report data from the Firebase console by clicking the Download CSV option from the ⠇ overflow menu. Also see my answer here: Is it possible to embed Firebase Analytics data from my apps into a webpage?
connect Firebase Analytics to BigQuery to export the raw events, and query them in BigQuery, or visualize them with Data Studio.

Firebase Analytics API and other data API's

I'm wanting to interact with my data from Firebase Analytics within my application. I want to be able to use the monthly active users or current active users. Does Firebase offer an API for analytics data? If not, what other API's are available? Thanks.
It looks like in order to access Firebase Analytics data, you export it to BigQuery. This is working for me and is automated.
