Cloud Service authenticating multiple accounts to Nest API

Question

I have a cloud service that is built on NodeJs.

I want to tie in the Nest-API but I dont understand how I can manage multiple access_tokens with Firebase to receive realtime events for multiple people using my service.

Example, User A authenticates, and I get access_token 123. Now User B authenticates and I get access_token 345. Obviously I will store the access_tokens on my server. But how do I get my NodeJS backend to listen to both users Nests?

You can really only authenticate one firebase connection at a time as the authentication is pretty much global. You may want to check out Rest Streaming instead. Here is an example of it built in node https://github.com/nestlabs/rest-streaming
