Rename a key in firebase across many nodes
Raw
rename-firebase-key.js
var ref = new Firebase("https://<your-firebase>.firebaseio.com/path-to-your-node");
ref.on("child_added", function(snap) {
var data = snap.val();
data.phonenumber = data.contact;
delete data.contact;
ref.child(snap.name()).set(data, function(error) {
if( error && typeof(console) !== 'undefined' && console.error ) { console.error(error); }
});
});

This needs to be updated for the newer version of Firebase. For example, snap.name() has been deprecated, and I'm not too sure about that "data.phonenumber" syntax.
