Firebase console support easy way to configure remote configuration parameter.

In our app we have remote configuration different per user, and those configuration are set on our own web portal.

Is there any API by which I can push configs from my own portal to Firebase remote config server and then use remote config lib on android app to get new configurations?

Thanks for trying Firebase Remote Config. There is no API to change configuration values at the moment. – Frank van Puffelen
@FrankvanPuffelen how about an option to upload a config file? So we could build a simple key/value json file on our machine and manually upload it to the firebase console. I'm currently exploring the possibility and utility of managing all our apps strings with RemoteConfig. The actual translations are managed with a different internal tool and it would be great if we could run a script that would build a json we can upload to firebase. – Daniel W.

Yes! As of March 2018 there is now a REST API available for you to add or update values in the Remote Config service.

You can use this to either create your own custom front-ends for managing your remote config values, import Remote Config values from elsewhere, or add support to have your Remote Config values change dynamically based on something that might be happening on your server (or even a cron job). Documentation is here.
