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.

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
I have installed a firebase extension "collections to bigquery" to export the data in my firebase collection to the BigQuery table. I have installed the extension an hour ago and I can still not see any data in the BigQuery. I am new to FireBase so can anyone tell me how long does it usually take until data finally starts showing up in BigQuery?
Thanks!
The Firestore BigQuery extension will automatically sync future writes to a collection to BigQuery - if your database isn't actively being written to, it won't do anything just by installing it.
To bring existing documents into the BigQuery table, see this guide that runs through how to run the import script.
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.
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.
We are trying to migrate from MixPanel to Firebase analytics. Is there any way to transfer historic data into Firebase?
No there isn't a solution to do just that.
An alternative would be to export your firebase analytics data to Big Query, in Big Query import your data from MixPanel. However you won't be able to visualise the data imported in Big Query in the classic Firebase Dashboard, you'll need to build your custom dashboard using Google Data Studio for instance.
