Download Firebase config file or object

You can download the Firebase config file or Firebase config object for each of your project's apps from the Firebase console's Project settings page. You need this config file or object to configure your app to use Firebase.

You may need to access your config file or object after the initial registering of the app with Firebase if you're setting up a new environment or you're not the member who originally registered the app.

Learn more about the Firebase config file and object in Understand Firebase Projects.

A config file or config object is only available if you've added your app to your Firebase project.
