Answer 1

There's no API for doing that, Firestore doesn't have an option in which you can upload an Excel or a CSV file and convert the data automatically to Firestore. To solve this, you should write some code for that. As also Krish Bhanushali suggested in his comment, you need to read the file , line by line, save that data into an object of a custom class, and then write all the data to Firestore. This means that each line you read will be added in Firestore as a document.

Answer 2

Use Firefoo. connect to the db, import your csv, done.

Its trialware but it works flawlessly
