Firebase Cloud Messaging API (v1) Tutorial

[@NativeNotify]

I'm so sorry. You DO have to run the python code found in step 3 "Generate the access token" to generate the access token. In the video I said you can skip that part, but I was wrong. The access token has a limited lifespan, so you'll need to run the code each time you want to send a notification to get a new access token. If you use something different like Node.js, you can ask NextChat.ai to change the code into Node.js code. The token in the video is actually the identifier of the json file that is used to generate the access token, NOT the access token itself. You have to use the json file that is downloaded when you create the key in the code found in the NextChat conversation at step 3 "Generate the access token" to get the actual access token. If you're having any issues, just copy and paste any errors into the NextChat.ai conversation and NextChat.ai can help you get to the correct solution. For example, when I tested out the code in this video, I said to NextChat.ai: "i got this error after sending the post request: { "error": { "code": 401, "message": "Request had invalid authentication credentials. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.", "status": "UNAUTHENTICATED" } } I did not run the python code to generate the key. I used the key that was in my Google account" NextChat.ai then told me how to fix the issue I was having.

[@karunstha]

Tutorial for these steps please? So we need a script always running just to generate/refresh tokens every time we want send the notification?

[@philipalveo]

No follow ups on this? Please show us atleast this With their garbage documentation and forcing us next year to use this, for native FE devs this is a pain in the ass

[@mmathems395]

Okay, understood, you have answered my question about the need of a key which is identical to the Legacy key - because the key generated under this tutorial is rejected by a prompt for the Legacy key.

[@Designguidetv]

how would I get the token each time in my app? I can't run python to manually get that key each time??

Really thanks sir , i am stuck in this for whole day, but when i watch your video, i understand the whole concept. thanks again sir

[@willasaskara]

oh man this is so frustrating, finally you solved the google documentation maze

[@seaux-ryan]

Been in GCP and Firebase for 4 years now. It did take a long time to understand service accounts and how they work (I was also new to most cloud dev ops at the time as well). But I actually really appreciate it now. It’s very secure and once you understand every service has an api and that you should make service accounts to secure your apps, it became really intuitive for me.

[@shuaibalghazali3405]

Please can you explain how to implement in code, like generate access token

[@shuaibalghazali3405]

Because I can't generate access token with Python inside flutter

[@jerryworm]

Thank you so much. You saved my day. I have been pulling my hair over this 😁

[@perfect.stealth]

From my heart. Thank you. I've literally been angry the last few days because of the absolute garbage documentation from Googles side.

No sirve ese bearer token, el key que supuestamente es el token no es: Request had invalid authentication credentials. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential

[@shanokscr]

Hola, tengo el mismo error, de casualidad lo pudiste resolver?

[@aishwaryasonkar6401]

have you find the solution ??

[@LuisEnriqueBravoVillalpando]

justamente el mismo error me da, lo que entiendo es que debe haber un codigo intermedio que este no puso o no ejecuto en donde se obtiene el "Bearer key" haciendo uso de la key que te arroja firebase esa bearer key es temporal y deberia ejecutarse cada peticion antes de enviar el mensaje, ahora el rpoblema es saber que mugrero de codigo es ese que devuelve el "bearer key"

Hahahahha I LOOOOVE your humor!!!!! Great video!!!!

[@necdetgedik]

thank you man i was drowning in the documents you saved me

[@esrefzekiparlak]

Totally agree with all you say! Great content! Thanks!

[@gerardhajduk4978]

I like your sarkazm, but at the end two surprising points. 1. The generated key is not Bearer token. 2. BTW, this (not bearer) key can be generated from 4th tab called Service accounts located on the Firebase Project Setting page.

[@NativeNotify]

You're right, you have to use the generated key to create a bearer key. The bearer key changes every 5 minutes, I think. You need the key from the video when using their API to generate the bearer key right before sending a notification. Services like NextChat.ai will walk you through it. Basically I was wrong when I said you don't need to run the python code in the video. You DO need to run the code

[@shuaibalghazali3405]

​@@NativeNotifyplease can you just help with another video on this

[@CarlosAntonio8]

@NativeNotify, thank you for making my life easier. I don't know what google engineers were thinking when writing the documentation...

Update: I followed these steps but I received : Request had invalid authentication credentials. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential.

What! That's crazy lol

[@WhappPayGatway]

@NativeNotify you cannot understand how long I have being waiting for this ,it took me almost a month trying to send push notifications and when I migrated from expo push to fcm finding token was like hell thanks for this and wish you show us a tutorial on sending push notifications with images and explain what the extra data is all about

[@GaryvandenHeever1]

Thank you. Man that was an insane journey ... the mighty google and all. I was begining to think I was really dumb. I was going to abort and use another method. Yeah as you say that python to get the token is the key in fact. Have a blessed day further.

[@shuaibalghazali3405]

Please can you explain better to me, like how do I use python to generate a token in flutter it's not adding up

[@NativeNotify]

Ask NextChat.ai that question when you get to that step. Copy and paste the Python code and ask it to turn it into flutter code to generate the temporary token

That's wrong, the key that shows up in service account page is NOT the Bearer token !!!

You're right. You do have to run the function I thought you could skip. I pinned a comment to the top of this that walks through how to get the bearer token. NextChat.ai will also sho you how if you ask it questions

[@mmathems395]

The problem I have found is that a prompt is expecting the FCM server key to consist of more characters, so it rejects the key generated under your directions. Would there be a way of generating a key which is identical to the Legacy key please?

i dont think he will tell you that, the whole video he is just doing promotions, did you find a solution to it, i am also stuck there?

@@ProfessionalBrokeMemer Moving on from what I understood here, I went back to the official Firebase documents, and I'm still working on it. A combination of the documentation and the right tutorials will fast track to the direction you need. My suggestion would be to continue researching and to be patient - slowly but surely.

u have skipped secret keys json file....with out that it wont happens

[@Dev-PauloEd]

Wait... isn't the next chat just the same as the chat AI made by OpenAI?

[@NativeNotify]

Yes, it uses the same OpenAI ChatGPT service. So you'll get the same great ChatGPT responses. But NextChat.ai is more secure because it doesn't track your conversation data. And NextChat.ai has more features like conversation folders and search bar, prompt creator and folders and search bar, and global prompt library

[@YPWorkStuff]

I am still stuck with this new version and unable to do it in java. It was simpler in the old version T_T

[@NativeNotify]

I would use NextChat.ai to ask how to do it in Java. It's an API request at the end that you send to send the notification

what about to send multiple devices.

You can't. You have to send them individually. (I've tried to figure that out in the past.) If you want to send them in groups, you have to use a service like NativeNotify.com or use the Firebase portal to send the messages.

Their documentation is trash. When looking at examples for a JavaScript web app, they will show some syntax, then on the next page or even the same page show other syntax that is totally invalid. I don't know who their target audience is. I don't even know if a human being puts their documentation together or if it's an amalgam of a big, ugly process. Clearly, they could save us all a lot of time and just have a single human being assigned to document the basics from top to bottom.
