firebase api-key

In Firebase, when we sign up , it gives us an API key for each firebase Url. But where is it used in a consuming application? The fireBase API does not provide any means to supply API Key.

Security : What prevents anyone to go ahead and write any object to the given firebase Url? How is the authorization managed?

You can generate your api key at https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials?project=[YOUR-PROJECT]

Replace [YOUR-PROJECT] with your proyect ID.
