Simple way to get a firebase auth token (development)

Background

I am using laravel to create some backend APIs.

These APIs require to be authenticated using firebase auth.

I created a firebase authentication function in my project, and now need the JWT token to test it out using postman.

I am not in charge of the front end, so I do not need to create a login system, and if possible I would like to have a token I can permanently use while developing.

Question

Is there any way I can easily get a permanent firebase token for development, without having to create a client side log in system?

I found this similar question from three years ago but it was unanswered.

Any help would be appreciated!

Alternative Question

If you're using Postman, why not:

  1. Create a user via the Firebase Auth web console
  2. Create a request in Postman that logs in via the Firebase Auth REST API?

Something like POST to https://identitytoolkit.googleapis.com/v1/accounts:signInWithPassword?key=[API_KEY] with body:

{
    "email": "abc@def.com",
    "password":"password",
    "returnSecureToken":true
}
