Generating an auth token for connecting to firebase from node

With the number of recent changes released for Firebase it's becoming hard to understand how things work now. Does anyon know how to generate a simple token for my node js back-end to be able to make http calls to a firebase db?

I need to use http calls and not have the connection be persisted using the firebase npm module because I need to run automated tests and I can't find a way to close the connection cleanly (and don't want to use process.exit()).

I already have a json service account key from my GCP AIM and that's what the updated firebase documentation seems to point to using but I can't find a way to use it (examples) or generate a token with it.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

The firebase-cli docs indicate login:ci will "Generate an authentication token for use in non-interactive environments."

Is that what you need?
