Error 403 - unauthorized to use Firebase Auth #3053
Description
- Operating System version: Ubuntu Server 24.04
- Firebase SDK version: 13.6.0
- Firebase Product: auth (auth, database, storage, etc)
- Node.js version: 22.13
- NPM version: 10.9.2
Describe the problem
Steps to reproduce:
On NodeJS server, when trying to create/delete an user on Firebase Auth I get the following error:
errorInfo: {
code: 'app/unable-to-parse-response',
message: `Error while parsing response data: "SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON". Raw server response: "<!DOCTYPE html>\n` +
....................
....................
' <p>Your client does not have permission to get URL <code>/v1/projects/skicoach-ld/accounts</code> from this server. <ins>That’s all we know.</ins>\n' +
'". Status code: "403". Outgoing request: "POST https://identitytoolkit.googleapis.com/v1/projects/skicoach-ld/accounts."'
},
codePrefix: 'app'
}
Firebase is initialized in this way:
const firebase = require('firebase-admin');
firebase.initializeApp({
credential: firebase.credential.cert(require('./firebase_adminsdk.json'))
});
const auth = firebase.auth();
and code to create the user is:
auth.createUser({
email: req.body.email,
emailVerified: true,
password: req.body.password,
displayName: req.body.name+" "+req.body.surname,
disabled: false
})
it always worked so I don't understand where's the issue now.
