title: How to access Google Cloud Platform Firestore triggers from Python runtime cloud functions
body: <p>GCP has added support for the Python runtime to cloud functions.</p>
  
  <p>GCP has also extended Firestore to the general GCP ecosystem (as opposed to solely being available for Firebase)</p>
  
  <p>However, the documentation for how to listen to Firestore triggers from python cloud functions is missing, and is currently only provided for <a href="https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/extend-with-functions" rel="nofollow noreferrer">node</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there (or will there be) a way to access Firestore triggers from python cloud functions?</p>
