Does anybody know if Google provides an API to programmatically retrieve the current usage of firestore?
More precisely, I'm referring to the current number of read & write operations, as shown here:
As your screenshot indicates, Firestore provide a Monitor to check the usage of your plan. Unfortunately, though, there is not an API to programmatically return the usage of your Firestore.
However, as mentioned in the official documentation Monitoring usage, you can create an alert policy to track your metrics and send an email to you, based on limits that you set, informing that the usage reached this certain point defined.
The steps for you to achieve the configuration are the following:
In the Cloud Monitoring Page, open your workspace, and go to the
Alerting page.
Go to the Create New Alerting Policy page
Click Create Policy.
Enter a name for your alerting policy.
Add an alerting condition based on one of the Cloud Firestore
metrics. Click Add Condition.
Select a Target. In the Find resource type and metric field, enter
Cloud Firestore. From the auto-populated dropdown, select one of the
Cloud Firestore metrics.
Under Policy triggers, use the dropdown fields to define your
alerting condition.
Add a notification channel to your alerting policy. Under
Notifications, Click Add Notification Channel. Select Email from the
dropdown menu.
Enter your email in the Email address field. Click Add.
Optionally, fill out the documentation field to include additional
information in your email notification.
Click Save.
I believe this should help you, even though it's not an API was you might prefer. Besides that, I would recommend you to raise a Feature Request on Google's system for them to check the possibility of this be implemented in the future.
Let me know if the information helped you!

How would I detect a Google Tag Manager publish event and send that to an external system?
I am trying to pinpoint effects of specific tag changes for certain properties and correlate them in a graph the way I might do with a new GitHub tag being created.
I've looked thru documentation but have not uncovered anything yet specifically for this scenario.
You could user container notifications to have an email sent to some service that processes the mail and stores the information.
Or you can use the API, retrieve the container fingerprint and compare it against a stored version of the fingerprint to see if it has changed. This would require you do implement some sort of polling in the API script to check every n minutes for changes.
I am using the Firebase Web SDK 8.3.1 and I have created a remote config parameter with conditions based on a custom user properties.
The problem I encounter is that my end users always get the default value, never one from any of the conditions, even if I am sure the user actually matches the conditions...
I see in the doc:
Warning: To use audiences and user properties with Remote Config, you
must enable Google Analytics data sharing for your project. In your
app, you'll need to ensure Firebase Analytics is present and data
collection is available as well.
Then if I follow the provided link I see the instructions:
To manage Google Analytics for Firebase data sharing:
Sign in to Firebase and select a project.
Click the Settings icon and select Project Settings.
On the Project Settings page, click Data privacy.
See the options available under Google Analytics data
sharing. When you share Analytics data, you share it for all the apps
in your project.
Turn on the switch for Share Analytics data with all Firebase
features, including Predictions, A/B Testing, Remote Config, and
Notifications (this is your default setting) to enable all current
options to share data with Firebase features.
But in my firebase console I dont have this switch! Under "Google Analytics data sharing" there is now another link:
So I cant turn on this setting :(
Note: how I made sure my user actually matches the condition "user property X == A":
Wait 30mins
Launch the app with a user having user property X set to A
Launch the Realtime dashboard of Firebase Analytics and filter to the last 30mins
And here I see that there were indeed 1 user in the last 30mins and this user had property X set to A
So is there anything special I should do when I want to create a condition using custom user properties?
We are having an issue with the API usage for our google account. we were advised by Google support to contact you about increasing our limit? We had an issue with an integrated app and it mistakenly put too many invites on our calendar. They think by increasing or reseting the usage that maybe we will be able to use the calendar.Is this something that you can help with.
If you want to increase your quota, you need to follow the instructions for managing quota:
Go to the Quotas page in the Google Cloud Console (link)
Click ALL QUOTAS in the row of the quota you want to change. In the QUOTA PANEL, click the Global checkbox.
On the main Quotas page, click create EDIT QUOTAS.
Complete the request form that displays to the right as follows:
In the New limit field, enter the increased quota you are requesting.
In the Request description field, enter the reason for your request. It's useful to include information such as future growth plans, region or zone spread, and any additional requirements or dependencies.
Click NEXT.
In the Contact details panel, enter your phone number in the Phone field.
Click DONE.
Click SUBMIT REQUEST.
We have a web app that users log into using Firebase Auth. According to our the authentication section of our firebase console, we have 690 user that have created accounts, and we believe that is correct.
According to our Firebase Analytics console, we have 2,100 new users in the past 90 days. I think I understand that Firebase Analytics tracks users with a device ID (?). So, if this were a iOS app, an uninstall and install would trigger a a new user counted in analytics. But, how does this work on a web app? Cookie? Some kind of browser id? A session?
So, I think if we want to track unique users accurately, we would use the set the user id, with this:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.analytics.Analytics#setuserid
Which according to the docs linked above, 'Use gtag 'config' command to set 'user_id'. So it does this: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/cookies-user-id#set_user_id
Which allows the users to be tracked across sessions. Therefore, users should not double count.
Notice that the setUserId section in the firebase analytics docs does not have a web section (although the setUserID function does exist in the javascript sdk as shown tow links above) https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/userid
So... would it then work to get the user id (uid) when they log in (https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.User). And then use the setUserId method to set the id?
It's unclear because the documentation does not seem to be in one source. I am just trying to put it all together
You are correct that you can use the setUserId API (across iOS, web and Android) in order to identify the same user across platforms. Note that you'll need to:
Set the default reporting identity to "By User-ID then Device" in the Reporting settings for Google Analytics in the Firebase console (see attached screenshot and docs for more info).
Make sure you are following the Privacy Policy when using the User ID.
I am attempting to track certain events in Buildfire's platform and have a few questions. I've integrated Firebase into a plugin not using the Buildfire API but by following Firebase's steps to integrating with a web app.
I'd like to be able to register the following events but don't see them mentioned in the Buildfire Wiki:
When a user signs up (creates an account) on an app - I believe Firebase registers users anonymously the first time they use an app since Firebase has been integrated but was wondering if there was a signup event when a user actually creates an account to distinguish between people who view the app and those who create an account
Paywall view (when a user tries to see premium content and is directed to the paywall).
When a user subscribes to a paid plan - additionally, I'd like to access the subscription information such as the price of the subscription.
These events would help drive funnels and deliver better conversion rate statistics. I've looked but just haven't found the documentation related to tracking these events within Buildfire. I've looked at the getUser methods under Authentication in Buildfire's API but don't see any user information returned regarding subscriptions.
Any information would be appreciated!
There are many ways to accomplish what you are looking for. I'll try to describe several so you can pick the method that best suits you.
Use the BuildFire integration with Firebase. This doesn't really change much on your implementation. However, you now will have the BuildFire Auth Servers sending your Firebase server, secure user information along with User Tags. If you have the user tagged when they view premium content, then you can run queries on this directly in firebase.

For more advanced analytics and funnel creation you can send your analytics to BuildFire and use BuildFire's integration with Segment.io which will allow you to pipe the data into your database, google analytics, mixpanel, or anyone of the hundreds of integrations they have.
