Hi there,

You can find the Firestore API [here](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/reference/rest).

Try working with it and see what you think!

Thanks,  
Jane

Did it work @Alan_dega ?  
Are you using firestone?  
What’s the difference with firebase?

Thx

Hey @Alan_dega,

Did you ever have any luck with this? How did you Authorise the user? Were you able to incorporate Firebase Auth as the token?

Thanks.
