python-firebase-gae

python-firebase-gae is a python wrapper for Firebase's REST API that was produced specifically to run in the Google App Engine enviroment (doesn't use the requests library). It uses urlfetch.

Some alternatives include

• Python Firebase
• Python Firebase by Michael Huynh

Both of which use the requests library.

Using

Clone it into the /lib/firebase folder:

$ git clone http://github.com/benletchford/python-firebase-gae lib/firebase

Import it:

from lib.firebase.wrapper import Firebase

Instantiate it:

ref = Firebase('https://example.firebaseio.com/users')

Or with authentication:

ref = Firebase('https://example.firebaseio.com/users', 'auth-token')
