How to Connect Firebase Auth Emulator With Python

Question

i am new to python and trying to figure out how to connect my auth emulator with python project. Actually, i want to create the users on emulator but when i create a user it is created on my real time firebase project

• I have ini the firebase project in my python project
• I have exported the following environment variable export FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST="localhost:9099" from terminal and also set the os.env from my file but nothing worked for me
• I also used the method provided by pyrebase create_user_with_email_and_password for creating a user but this creates the user on firebase real project The image of what i have done so far is here

If anyone knows the solution please let me know it will be very grateful for me!

Answer 1

In case this helps someone else, this is how I managed to connect and use the auth emulator in python:

# Import auth from firebase admin
from firebase_admin import auth

# Set the auth emulator environment variable to the correct port, as shown when starting up the emulator.

if USE_EMULATOR == 'True':
  os.environ["FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST"] = "127.0.0.1:9099"


user = auth.create_user(email=email, password=password )
