About this API
Firebase is GCP's mobile/web app backend suite, providing auth, realtime database, Firestore, cloud functions, hosting, analytics, crashlytics, and more. Management API exposes the project-level configuration of this suite — script the creation of a new Firebase project, add web/iOS/Android app configurations, initialize Firestore, deploy Hosting. Most common use case: SaaS vendors create a Firebase project per customer for isolation (separate database and auth per customer). Distinct from Firebase product runtime SDKs — Management API manages "project structure", runtime SDKs use "project data".
