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.

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
We have been using the firebase extension to stream (and import) our firestore collection data in BigQuery. That works great.
I was looking for a way to do the same for the users in Firebase Authentication. Any way we can do that?
Thank you
There is no Firebase Extension to export users to BigQuery.
But there is an API in the Admin SDKs that allows you to read all users, so if you combine that with the APIs to write data to BigQuery you can build the functionality yourself.
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.
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.
