Firebase Auth Rest Api – Deleteprovider Idtoken Problem New update

Firebase Auth REST API allows you to delete a user’s account linked with a specified authentication provider. However, when using the deleteProvider endpoint, you may encounter an issue with the idToken parameter.

The idToken parameter is required for authentication when calling the Firebase Auth REST API. It is a JWT token that verifies the identity of the user making the request. When calling the deleteProvider endpoint, the idToken parameter should be set to a valid Firebase ID token for a user with administrative privileges.

If you’re encountering an issue with the idToken parameter, it may be because the token has expired or is invalid. To resolve this issue, you should obtain a new ID token by authenticating the user again.

To obtain a new ID token, you can use Firebase Authentication SDKs or one of the supported authentication methods such as email and password, Google Sign-in, or Facebook Login. Once you have obtained a new ID token, you can use it to call the deleteProvider endpoint again.

Here is an example of how to obtain a new ID token using the Firebase Authentication SDK for JavaScript:

javascript
firebase.auth().currentUser.getIdToken(/* forceRefresh */ true)
  .then(function(idToken) {
    // Call the deleteProvider endpoint with the new ID token
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // Handle error
  });

Note that the forceRefresh parameter is set to true to ensure that a new ID token is obtained from the server rather than from the cache.
