How to access Cloud Firestore from Google Sheets?
You have to do as follows, for example in a simple function that fetches a collection:
function fecthFirstCollectionDocs() {
var email = "[email protected]";
var key = "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\your key here\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n";
var projectId = "zzzzzzzzz";
var firestore = FirestoreApp.getFirestore(email, key, projectId);
const allDocuments = firestore.query("FirstCollection").execute();
Logger.log(JSON.parse(allDocuments));
}
The value of key
is obtained by creating a service account, as explained in the Library documentation: https://github.com/grahamearley/FirestoreGoogleAppsScript#creating-a-service-account. It's quite easy, just follow the instructions.
You have to copy only the part between -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
and -----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n
from the .json
file.
Edited following you comment of 9 April:
To solve the
ReferenceError: "email" is not defined. (line 7, file "Code")
error you should correctly declare the variables you pass to the getFirestore()
method, as shown in the code of my answer, and as follows:
instead of doing
projectid: "fir-79c39";
you should do
var projectid = "fir-79c39";
You declare a variable named projectid
that you use in the getFirestore()
method. The same for key
and email
.
function writeDataToFirestore() {
var projectId = "XXXXXXXX";
var key = "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nXXXXXXXXXX\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n";
var email = "[email protected]";
var firestore = FirestoreApp.getFirestore(email, key, projectId);
const data = {
"name": "test!"
}
firestore.createDocument("FirstCollection", data)
}
