Exporting Firebase Users Data to Json file format using python

Question

I am trying to get the user ids, signup date and their email addresses from the firebase account to json file using python so that I can just run the command everyday and get the users data updated everyday instead of copy/paste everyday. I have never worked with JSON using python ever before. My boss has provided me 2 links for help which are very useful but I don't know how to write the exact code in Python to get it working. The links he provided me are as follows:

• https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/auth
• https://www.pluralsight.com/guides/importing-data-from-json-resource-with-python

This might help you: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/manage-users#list_all_users

from firebase_admin import auth

# Start listing users from the beginning, 1000 at a time.
page = auth.list_users()
while page:
    for user in page.users:
        print('User: ' + user.uid)
    # Get next batch of users.
    page = page.get_next_page()

# Iterate through all users. This will still retrieve users in batches,
# buffering no more than 1000 users in memory at a time.
for user in auth.list_users().iterate_all():
    print('User: ' + user.uid)

The above code is from that link. Want you want to do is refactor it and save the users into a dictionary and then export that dictionary as JSON.

from firebase_admin import auth
import json

users = {}

for user in auth.list_users().iterate_all():
    users[user.id] = user

with open("output.json", "w") as outfile: 
    json.dump(users, outfile)

Or some variation of the above that works to your liking, could be a list of users instead.

from firebase_admin import auth
import json

users = []

for user in auth.list_users().iterate_all():
    users.append(user)

with open("output.json", "w") as outfile: 
    json.dump(users, outfile)
