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

I have multiple apps in one firebase project.
Can I show data analytics by a specific app?
I found it in Google Analytics page.
It is stream name Dimension
I am trying to list all google analytics properties connected to a google account.
While this works fine using the google analytics management api, it seems the connected firebase projects are missing:
While in the analytics web UI the firebase property is listed. I took a look at how Google itself queries for this data and they use some kind of internal API:
https://analyticssuitefrontend-pa.clients6.google.com/v1/search/entityHeaders
Result:
I tried adding a firebase related scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/firebase.readonly) to my OAuth authorization but the property was still missing.
How can I query for the full list?
As DaImTo mentioned in a comment these systems are separate and firebase analytics data can not be queried via the google analytics API. This also holds true for listing connected firebase projects.
The confusion might arise, because google provides access to firebase analytics data under the hood of the google analytics website.
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.
Firebase console gives good analytics data in one dashboard.
Is there any API by which I can push my analytics data from my own portal to Firebase analytics and see that analytics data in firebase analytics dashboard?
No, this is not possible at the moment. You need one of the mobile SDKs (iOS or Android) to compose the data.
This is more a support question than a technical question. But if you set-up the Google cloud hosting and you want to use Firebase. Is the cost included, or do you have to pay separate for Firebase?
Since Google announced the new Firebase I'm curious if it is included in the package, or is it separate from Google cloud hosting and you can just add it?
Firebase is a different service than Google Cloud Platform(GCP).
Firebase offers different pricing models.
Firebase uses resources from GCP and its pricing are also calculated as per GCP pricing in its "BLAZE" plan (pay as you go).
Firebase Pricing
Firebase Storage uses Google Cloud Storage for storing images, videos and other large files.
Firebase now uses the same underlying account system as GCP, which means you can use any GCP product with your Firebase app. For example, you can export raw analytics data from the new Firebase Analytics to Google BigQuery to help you surface advanced insights about your application and users.
New Firebase is now integrated with GCP. So you will now be able to use many services provided by GCP in firebase via integration.

So, if you think using firebase service plans are what fits for your product, its the way to go.
