AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides a Python client library for Google Cloud Firestore, a managed NoSQL document database that handles authentication, connection management, and API calls to read, write, and query Firestore collections and documents.

Installation is low-friction with a pure-wheel distribution. The package is actively maintained with a release 7 days ago and has been in active development since 2017. All six runtime dependencies are from the Google Cloud ecosystem (google-api-core, google-auth, google-cloud-core, grpcio, proto-plus, protobuf), which are well-established infrastructure libraries.

Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), which allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions—you must include a copy of the license and state significant changes, but there are no copyleft obligations.

Usage

pip install google-cloud-firestore

from google.cloud import firestore

db = firestore.Client()
doc = db.collection('users').document('user1').get()
if doc.exists:
    print(doc.to_dict())

Requires Python >= 3.10. You must also set up a Google Cloud project, enable the Firestore API, and configure authentication (via service account key or Application Default Credentials) before the client can connect.

Verdict: A production-stable, actively maintained client library for Firestore with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. The permissive Apache-2.0 license poses no compliance risk. Suitable for applications that need a managed NoSQL database on Google Cloud, though setup requires prior GCP project configuration and authentication credentials.
