Integrate remote config with Nodejs [closed]

Question

I'm looking for a better way to integrate firebase remote config into my Nodejs server.

Basically I have 2 questions,

1. firebase's Official js sdk documentation says remoteconfig does not support nodeJs, I was wondering what's the reason behind supporting web and not nodeJS?

2. nodejs-quickstart uses rest endpoint, if I use this technique for managing my server's config,would I have to Implement polling? or is there a better way?

PS : Env variables are not an option because these configs changed over the time.

You can use admin SDK

const admin = require("firebase-admin");
const serviceAccount = require("path/toyour/firebase-adminsdk.json");
admin.initializeApp({
  credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
  databaseURL: "https://<project-database>.firebaseio.com"
});


const getConfig = async () => {
    let config = admin.remoteConfig();
    const template = await config.getTemplate()
   //all parameters will be under template.parameters
}

see docs here
