To use the token you need first to sign in to Firebase. The Sign In component does this for you and use the token internally.

If you want to do it yourself then you need to setup Web API with the following:

  • Header should have Content-Type set to application/json
  • URL should be https://identitytoolkit.googleapis.com/v1/accounts:signInWithPassword?key= and add your Firebase API Key to it.
  • Use Web API POST block to get the information

See this as an example

Of course instead of displaying the response to a label you will get the token from the response and use it with other blocks.

The response will have lots of information including localId, idToken, refreshToken, expiresIn

Use the localId in place of the UserID in the Sign In block and use the idToken to add it to the URL to get info. So the previous URL which gets information from the database will now be:
https://my-demodb-9d875-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com/myBook/Students.json?token=[your token]

Google will keep this token valid for 3600 seconds and when expires you will need the refreshToken to issue another API to get extra time with new values.

Hope this will give you a good start.
