We are using firebase to capture events on our App.
We have connected it with BigQuery so that the analytics data captured by firebase is exported to BigQuery.
The only problem for us is that the data export to BigQuery happens once in 24hrs. We would like to have the data export to BigQuery every hour.
I have not found a way to do this on Firebase console.
I was wondering if there is any way to ensure hourly export to BigQuery from Firebase analytics.
events_ table is what is updated every 24 hours.
If you want to get near real-time data, use the events_intratable_ table

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 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.
Summary: What i want is get the data that my apps push to Firebase analytics. I've seen that this is possible in realtime with the analytics intraday dataset. I've linked my firebase with bigquery and ticked the apps on so that they share data.
My firebase has billing set so i have the blaze billing settings.
Problem: There is no dataset of analytics. i only see this, there is no dataset of the realtime data called "intraday".
Edit: Right now i have the event data from the past days. but still no realtime data from the intraday dataset
I'm quite new to the service Bigquery.
My situation is I'm linking the Firebase Analytic to Bigquery to make some of analytic stuff (Blaze Plan upgraded).
I found that every day, the BigQuery automatically generates an event table with data from Firebase. My question is: will I be charged for that operation ? I'm afraid of charging for streaming insert, you know.

Thanks for viewing.
You can use Firebase and BigQuery without a credit card, within the monthly free tier limits.
However streaming into BigQuery is not free, and (for now) Analytics for Firebase exports data into BigQuery through streaming, so there will be an associated cost.
Meanwhile there is Firebase data that you can get for free into BigQuery:
Crashlytics
Cloud Messaging
Predictions

Recently we have linked our Firebase project with BigQuery.
But there are no previous (before linking) events data displayed in BigQuery console. Is there a way to get previous data?
Firebase Analytics events will be inserted into BigQuery from the moment you connect the two. There is no way to get the events from before you connected them.
