In this article, we'll review the integration with Firebase and will go through the steps necessary to connect it to Jet Admin

### Connecting Firebase

To connect to Firebase from the new app flow, follow the steps:

1. Select the `Data` Tab from the **left menu bar**
2. Click on the `Add Resource` button
3. Choose **Firebase** resource

### Obtain service token

You'll need to paste a service token to allow your Firebase to interact with Jet. You can copy and paste or upload a JSON snippet as a file.

To copy and paste a JSON snippet, follow the steps:

1. In the form, paste the **Service Token**
2. Alternatively, you can upload the Service token as a file

**It's critical** to have a **proper data structure** in your Firebase database. Otherwise, Jet might not detect all or some parts of it. Read the official Firebase article properly to learn how to structure your data.
{% endhint %}

To obtain a service key, follow the steps:

1. Click on the `Settings` button
2. Choose **Project Settings**
3. Go to the **Service Account tab**
4. Click on the `Generate new private key` button
5. Click on the `Generate key` button

{% @arcade/embed flowId="HgPGN726gSBgt5035iCh" url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/HgPGN726gSBgt5035iCh>" %}

Then you'll need to select the database type: Firestore or Realtime DB:
