Context:

• Backend gets firebase client config key/values (apiKey, authDomain, etc) and passes it to client
• Client uses said config to set which Firebase App it initializes into
• Node backend

I've been browsing the firebase-admin npm module and have yet to find anything that points me in the right direction. Er, actually let me correct myself, the only thing I can't seem to acquire from the backend is the apiKey and appId

The closest API I know of are the projects/get and the projects/getAdminSdkConfig in the REST API. I'm not sure if that is wrapped in the Admin SDK though, as I don't immediately see them in the most promising section of its reference docs.

You must not pass your keys to client, they are sensitive data and must stay in your backend env, sou they are built-in when you build your application and keep safe in there. You should make a request asking data from client to backend to get this information, and your backend will be responsible to connect with firebase, get data and send it to frontend

client <> backend <> firebase

and not

backend <> client <> firebase
