How to export Firebase analytics data

Question

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to export all the Firebase Analytics data to an excel spreadsheet, similar to how you can do it with Google Analytics. From what I can find the only way to go about doing it is to link with BigQuery then do some SQL statements to build a table and export.

Unfortunately for us this is not going to work (due to client budget and capabilities). Is there any other way to export this data that I'm missing?

Answer 1

As our company uses AWS for it's projects, BigQuery is not an option for now so I have moved on to scrape the data from Firebase.

You can use Selenium and Beautifulsoup in python to scrape the data from Firebase.

Answer 2

For all those who use AWS and want an automated pipeline, BigQuery allows you to export CSV if you have no arrays and JSON if you do. You can then automate exports to google cloud storage. Finally, you can use Airflow with AWS or an EC2 with a CRON or some other orchestration or scheduling system to schedule the merging of the google data to your AWS pipeline.

Answer 3

Update: You can now export the analytics reports as CSV from the Firebase console by clicking the Download CSV option from the ⠇ overflow menu.

In the meantime, you really should give BigQuery another look. The pricing is very reasonable and there is a free query tier of 1 TB/mo.

You could easily select and copy UI blocks on the Analytics web page in Firebase, and then just paste the copied data into an Excel sheet. You'll see fancy tables.

There is a YouTube video that explains and demonstrates the procedure here:
