How about Firebase Extension, I'm getting error "Request failed with HTTP code 404 | Server said: Not Found"I used Admin API key to generate secret. Can the reason be that we have nested collection for typesense search like /search/menu/data

I think you might not have created the collection on Typesense

The problem seem to be that collection cant be nested, as soon as I set collection to root the error is gone. Does it mean that we need to create in the root all collections that we want to index? Or just don't know how to set nested collections in the config

Daniel Sub-collections are indeed not supported. Here's a work-around: https://typesense-community.slack.com/archives/C01P749MET0/p1649250059316429
