Realtime database:

For this you can simple use: snapshot.key

snapshot = firebase.database.DataSnapshot

this.app.database()
        .ref('/data/')
        .on('value', function(snapshot) {
            const id = snapshot.key;

            //----------OR----------//
            const data = snapshot.val() || null;
            if (data) {
              const id = Object.keys(data)[0];
            }
        });

Firestore:

snapshot.id

snapshot = firebase.firestore.DocumentSnapshot

this.app.firestore()
        .collection('collection')
        .doc('document')
        .onSnapshot(function(snapshot) {
            const id = snapshot.id;

            //----------OR----------//
            const data = snapshot.data() || null;
            if (data) {
              const id = Object.keys(data)[0];
            }
        });
