Cloud Firestore REST API integration for Draftbit

What is Cloud Firestore?
Cloud Firestore's REST API lets apps read, create, update, and delete documents when Firebase Security Rules allow it. Add your Firebase project ID and optionally a Firebase Auth ID token for protected data.
Use Cloud Firestore with Draftbit
- Built-in endpoints: List documents, Get document, Create document, Update document, Delete document.
- Bind any Cloud Firestore endpoint to a screen, list, form, or AI agent action.
- Authentication is configured once per app — secrets stay on the server.
- Add custom request and response transforms without forking Cloud Firestore's client library.
Example
cloud-firestore-example.ts // Example: fetch from Cloud Firestore
const response = await fetch("https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects/{project_id}/databases/(default)/documents/{collection_id}", {
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_CLOUD_FIRESTORE_TOKEN",
},
});
const data = await response.json();Use cases
- Power a mobile app with a hosted database and APIs
- Add search, filtering, and pagination to a list-driven feature
- Read and write app data without managing your own server
Authentication
Authentication uses the `Authorization` header. Paste your key once in Draftbit and every request to Cloud Firestore carries it automatically — secrets stay on the server side.
