How to import CSV or JSON to firebase cloud firestore

Question

Is there a way to import CSV or JSON to firebase cloud firestore like in firebase realtime database?

Answer 1

This workaround in Python may help some people. First convert json or csv to dataframe using Pandas, then convert dataframe to dictionary and upload dictionary to firestore.

import firebase_admin as fb
from firebase_admin import firestore
import pandas as pd

cred = fb.credentials.Certificate('my_credentials_certificate.json')
default_app = fb.initialize_app(cred)
db = firestore.client()

df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
dict = df.to_dict(orient='records')

my_doc_ref = db.collection('my_collection').document('my_document')
my_doc_ref.set(dict)

There could be similar workarounds in javascript and other languages using libraries similar to Pandas.
