Firebase Admin Node.js SDK

The Admin SDK is a set of server libraries that lets you interact with Firebase from privileged environments to perform actions like read and write Realtime Database data with full admin privileges. Programmatically send Firebase Cloud Messaging messages using a simple, alternative approach to the Firebase Cloud Messaging server protocols. Access Google Cloud resources like Cloud Storage buckets and Cloud Firestore databases associated with your Firebase projects. Create your own simplified admin console to do things like look up user data or change a user's email address for authentication. If you are interested in using the Node.js SDK as a client for end-user access (for example, in a Node.js desktop or IoT application), as opposed to admin access from a privileged environment (like a server), you should instead follow the instructions for setting up the client JavaScript SDK.
