# Firestore, Firebase Auth & Realtime DB

UI Bakery allows you to easily connect to Firebase Admin API with no need for additional layers like APIs or third-party services. It's possible to connect to **Firestore**, **Firebase Auth**, and **Firebase Realtime DB**.

In this article, we'll explore how you can [configure](#configuration) these data sources and [work](#usage) with them.

## Configuration

### Prerequisites

Before connecting to your Firebase services, you will need to obtain one or several of the credentials listed below:

* **Firebase project ID**

Navigate to the Firebase console and copy the *project ID* of the required project.

* **Firebase database URL**

Navigate to your project and select Realtime DB in the left side menu - you'll need to copy the *project URL* there and save it for later.

{% hint style="info" %}
The URL pattern is `https://your_project.firebaseio.com/`.
{% endhint %}

* **Private key**

Navigate to *Project settings* > *Service accounts*. There, select **Firebase Admin SDK** and click **Generate new private key**.

### Connecting the data source

Once you've obtained the necessary credentials, you can proceed to connecting the data source:

1. On the **Data sources** page, click **Connect**, and select *the necessary option* in the Data sources list - *Firestore*, *Firebase Auth*, or *Firebase Realtime DB*.
2. Next, specify the required credentials:
   1. For **Firestore**, specify the *private key* and the *project ID*.
   2. For **Firebase Auth**, specify the *private key*.
   3. For **Firebase Realtime DB**, specify the *private key* and the *Firebase database URL*.
3. Click **Test connection** to check whether the data source can be connected, and then click **Connect Datasource** to complete the setup.

## Usage

Once you've connected the data source, you can start interacting with its data. For this purpose, you can use the [Firebase Query](/reference/working-with-actions/firebase-query.md) action step.
