The managed, complete, fast and secure Firebase Client Library that supports ESP8266 and ESP32 MCU from Espressif and RP2040 Pico from Raspberry Pi. The following are platforms in which the libraries are also available (RTDB only).
Since version 3.0.0, library allows you to use external Arduino Clients network interfaces e.g. WiFiClient, EthernetClient and GSMClient, the Arduino supported devices that have enough flash size (> 128k) and memory can now use this library.
To use external Client, see the ExternalClient examples.
The authentication with OAuth2.0 and custom auth tokens, RTDB error queue features are not supported for other Arduino devices using external Clients.
There is known issue in Client class in ESP32 Arduino Core SDK v2.0.x which the Client may close the connection after the Connection "Close" header was sent which causes the incomplete response received.
This strange behavior was partly fixed in this library by sending Connection "Keep-Alive" header in HTTP request but this is not totally prevent the problem that will be happened when transferring the large payloads.
This strange behavior also existed in WiFiClientSecure core library used in this library which was fixed by sending Connection Keep-Alive header.
This issue can't be fixed in the external client that uses Arduino Client derived class until the change was made in the ESP32 core.
This OTA download and file upload/download functions using external Client may affected by this issue.
For Raspberry Pi Pico, by including FreeRTOS.h, Pico device will hang when format or writing data to flash filesystem (LittleFS).

This library required ESP8266 or ESP32 or RP2040 Pico Core SDK.
ESP8266 Core SDK v2.5.0 and older versions are not supported.
For Arduino IDE, ESP8266 Core SDK can be installed through Boards Manager.
For PlatfoemIO IDE, ESP8266 Core SDK can be installed through PIO Home > Platforms > Espressif 8266 or Espressif 32.
The RP2040 boards required Arduino-Pico SDK from Earle F. Philhower https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico
All function for Realtime database between these libraries are compattible. See this guide for migrating.
At Arduino IDE, go to menu Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries...
In Library Manager Window, search "firebase" in the search form then select "Firebase ESP Client".
Click "Install" button.
For PlatformIO IDE, using the following command.
pio lib install "Firebase ESP Client""
Or at PIO Home -> Library -> Registry then search Firebase ESP Client.
If you ever installed this library in Global storage in PlatformIO version prior to v2.0.0 and you have updated the PlatformIO to v2.0.0 and later, the global library installation was not available, the sources files of old library version still be able to search by the library dependency finder (LDF), you needed to remove the library from folder C:\Users\<UserName>\.platformio\lib to prevent unexpected behavior when compile and run.
For Arduino IDE, download zip file from the repository (Github page) by select Code dropdown at the top of repository, select Download ZIP
From Arduino IDE, select menu Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library....
Choose Firebase-ESP-Client-main.zip that previously downloaded.
Rename Firebase-ESP-Client-main folder to Firebase_Arduino_Client_Library_for_ESP8266_and_ESP32.
Go to menu Files -> Examples -> Firebase-ESP-Client-main and choose one from examples.
Folder renaming to Firebase_Arduino_Client_Library_for_ESP8266_and_ESP32 was required for making the library can be updated via Library Manager without problems.
Without folder renaming, when you update the library via Library Manager, library will be updated to the another folder named Firebase_Arduino_Client_Library_for_ESP8266_and_ESP32 which leads to compilation error when there are two different versions of library found in the libraries folder and can cause the conflicts when file structures and functions changed in the newer version.
For example, the library version 2.7.7 and earlier were installed manually by downloading ZIP file and extracted to Firebase-ESP-Client-main folder. If the library was later updated to v2.8.2 and newer via Library Manager, the compilation error will take place because the newer version files structures and functions changed and compiler is trying to compile these two versions of source files together.
In this case, you need to delete Firebase-ESP-Client-main folder from libraries folder.
For Arduino IDE, the Arduino-Pico SDK can be installed from Boards Manager by searching pico and choose Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040 to install.
For PlatformIO, the Arduino-Pico SDK can be installed via platformio.ini

When you update the ESP8266 Arduino Core SDK to v3.0.0, the memory can be configurable from IDE.
You can choose the Heap memory between internal and external memory chip from IDE e.g. Arduino IDE and PlatformIO on VSCode or Atom IDE.
For ESP8266 devices that don't have external SRAM/PSRAM chip installed, choose the MMU option 3, 16KB cache + 48KB IRAM and 2nd Heap (shared).
For ESP8266 devices that have external 23LC1024 SRAM chip installed, choose the MMU option 5, 128K External 23LC1024.
For ESP8266 devices that have external ESP-PSRAM64 chip installed, choose the MMU option 6, 1M External 64 MBit PSRAM.
The MMU options can be selected from build_flags in your project's platformio.ini file
For ESP8266 devices that don't not have external SRAM/PSRAM chip installed, add build flag as below.
[env:d1_mini]
platform = espressif8266
build_flags = -D PIO_FRAMEWORK_ARDUINO_MMU_CACHE16_IRAM48_SECHEAP_SHARED

Once the external Heap memory was selected in IDE, to allow the library to use the external memory, you can set it in FirebaseFS.h by define this macro.
#define FIREBASE_USE_PSRAMThis macro was defined by default when you installed or update the library.
In ESP32 module that has PSRAM installed, you can enable it and set the library to use this external memory instead.
To enable PSRAM in ESP32 module.
In PlatformIO on VSCode or Atom IDE, add the following build_flags in your project's platformio.ini file.
build_flags = -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM -mfix-esp32-psram-cache-issueAs in ESP8266, once the external Heap memory was enabled in IDE, to allow the library to use the external memory, you can set it in FirebaseFS.h by define this macro.
#define FIREBASE_USE_PSRAMThis library supports many types of authentications.
See other authentication examples for more authentication methods.
Some authentication methods require the token generaion and exchanging process which take more time than using the legacy token.
The system time must be set before authenticate using the custom and OAuth2.0 tokens or when the root certificate was set for data transfer.
The authentication with custom and OAuth2.0 tokens takes the time, several seconds in overall process which included the NTP time acquisition (system time setup), JWT token generation and signing process.
By setting the system time prior to calling the Firebase.begin, the internal NTP time acquisition process will be ignored.
You can set the system time using the RTC chip or manually by calling Firebase.setSystemTime.
While authenticate using Email and password, the process will be perform faster because no token generation and time setup required.
The authenticate using the legacy token (database secret) does not have these delay time because the token is ready to use.
This library focuses on the user privacy and user data protection which follows Google authentication processes. Setting the security rules to allow public access read and write, is not recommended even the data transmision time in this case was significantly reduced as it does not require any auth token then the overall data size was reduced, but anyone can steal, modify, or delete data in your database.
Once the auth token is important and when it was created and ready for authentication process, the data transmission time will depend on the time used in SSL/TLS handshake process (only for new session opening), the size of http header (included auth token size) and payload to be transmitted and the SSL client buffer reserved size especially in ESP8266.
The legacy token size is relatively small, only 40 bytes, result in smallest header to send, while the size of id token generated using Email/Password is quite large, approx. 900 bytes. result in larger header to send.
There is a compromise between the speed of data transfer and the Rx/Tx buffer which then reduced the free memory available especially in ESP8266.
When the reserved SSL client Rx/Tx buffer is smaller than the size of data to be transmitted, the data need to be sent as multiple chunks which required more transmission time.
This affected especially in ESP8266 which has the limited free memory.
To speed up the data transmission in ESP8266, the larger reserved Rx/Tx buffer size is necessary.
The reserved SSL Rx/Tx buffer size in ESP8266 can be set through the function <Firebase Data object>.setBSSLBufferSize, e.g. fbdo.setBSSLBufferSize(2048, 2048);
The larger BearSSL buffer reserved for ESP8266, the lower free memory available as long as the session opened (server connection).
Therefore the time for data transfer will be varied from approx. neary 200 ms to 500 ms based on the reserved SSL client Rx/Tx buffer size and the size of data to transmit.
In ESP8266, when the free memory and speed are concerned, the legacy token should be used instead of other authentication to reduce the header size and the lower SSL Rx/Tx buffer i.e. 1024 for Rx and 512 for Tx are enough.
When the session was reused (in this library), the SSL handshake process will be ignored in the subsequence requests.
The session was close when the host or ip changes or server closed or the session timed out in 3 minutes.
When the new session need to be opened, the SSL handshake will be processed again and used the time approx 1 - 2 seconds to be done.
For post (push) or put (set) request in RTDB, to speed up the data transfer, use pushAsync or setAsync instead.
With pushAsync and setAsync, the payload response will be ignored and the next data will be processed immediately.
In Test Mode, token generation will be ignored and no authentication applied to the request.
For RTDB, you can access RTDB database in Test Mode by set the security rules like this.
{
"rules": {
".read": true,
".write": true
}
}And set the config.signer.test_mode = true;, see TestMode.ino example.
For Cloud Firestore and Firebase Storage, also set config.signer.test_mode = true; and modify the rules for the public access to test.
To use Email/Password sign-in authentication as in the examples, the Email/Password Sign-in provider must be enabled by follow the following steps.
Add Email and password for first user in your project then use this Email and password to sign in.
To use Anonymous sign-in, the Anonymous Sign-in provider must be enabled by follow the below steps.
To get API Key used in sign-in/sign-up authentication
To get the Service accounts key JSON file used in Custom and OAuth2.0 tokens athentications.
For RTDB usages, create new real-time database (if not setup yet)
Edit the default database rules as following
{
"rules": {
".read": "auth != null",
".write": "auth != null"
}
}This document provides the RTDB security rules details.
The Firebase RTDB security rules are JSON-based rules which it should valid to used with this library RTDB functions that involved the security rules modification and reading, otherwise the rules wont be changed or read by these functions.
To get the database URL and secret (legacy token).
For server SSL authentication by providing the server root certificate.
Server SSL certificate verification is the process to ensure that the server that client is being connected is a trusted (valid) server instead of fake server.
The Google's GlobalSign R2 root certificate can be download from https://pki.goog/repository/
Select the .PEM (base-64 encoded string) or .DER (binary) file to download.
From the test as of July 2021, GlobalSign Root CA was missing from Google server, the certificate chain, GTS Root R1 can be used instead of root certificate.
Below is how to assign the certificate data for server verification.
/* In case the certificate data was used */
config.cert.data = rootCACert;
// Or custom set the root certificate for each FirebaseData object
fbdo.setCert(rootCACert);
/* Or assign the certificate file */
/** From the test as of July 2021, GlobalSign Root CA was missing from Google server
* as described above, GTS Root R1 (gsr1.pem or gsr1.der) can be used instead.
* ESP32 Arduino SDK supports PEM format only even mBedTLS supports DER format too.
* ESP8266 SDK supports both PEM and DER format certificates.
*/
// config.cert.file = "/gsr1.pem";
// config.cert.file_storage = mem_storage_type_flash; // or mem_storage_type_sdThe classes e.g. RTDB, Firestore, FCM, Storage, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Functions for Firebase in this library can be excluded or disabled to save memory usage through FirebaseFS.h.

Data at a specific node in Firebase RTDB can be read through these get functions.
The functions included get, getInt, getFloat, getDouble, getBool, getString, getJSON, getArray, getBlob, getFile.
These functions return boolean value indicates the success of the operation which will be true if all of the following conditions were met.
-
Server returns HTTP status code 200
-
The data types matched between request and response.
For generic get, use Firebase.RTDB.get(&fbdo, <path>).
And check its type with fbdo.dataType() or fbdo.dataTypeEnum() and cast the value from it e.g. fbdo.to<int>(), fbdo.to<std::string>().
The data type of returning payload can be determined by fbdo.dataType() which returns String or fbdo.dataTypeEnum() returns enum value.
The String of type returns from fbdo.dataType() can be string, boolean, int, float, double, json, array, blob, file and null.
The enum value type, fb_esp_rtdb_data_type returns from fbdo.dataTypeEnum() can be fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_null (1), fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_integer, fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_float, fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_double, fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_boolean, fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_string, fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_json, fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_array, fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_blob, and fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_file (10)
The database data's payload (response) can be read or access through the casting value from FirebaseData object with to<type>() functions (since v2.4.0).
-
String s = fbdo.to<String>(); -
std::string _s = fbdo.to<std::string>(); -
const char *str = fbdo.to<const char *>(); -
bool b = fbdo.to<bool>(); -
int16_t _i = fbdo.to<int16_t>(); -
int i = fbdo.to<int>(); -
double d = fbdo.to<double>(); -
float f = fbdo.to<float>(); -
FirebaseJson *json = fbdo.to<FirebaseJson *>();or -
FirebaseJson &json = fbdo.to<FirebaseJson>(); -
FirebaseJsonArray *arr = fbdo.to<FirebaseJsonArray *>();or -
FirebaseJsonArray &arr = fbdo.to<FirebaseJsonArray>(); -
std::vector<uint8_t> *blob = fbdo.to<std::vector<uint8_t> *>(); -
File file = fbdo.to<File>();
Or through the legacy methods
-
int i = fbdo.intData(); -
float f = fbdo.floatData(); -
double d = fbdo.doubleData(); -
bool b = fbdo.boolData(); -
String s = fbdo.stringData(); -
String js = fbdo.jsonString(); -
FirebaseJson &json = fbdo.jsonObject(); -
FirebaseJson *jsonPtr = fbdo.jsonObjectPtr(); -
FirebaseJsonArray &arr = fbdo.jsonArray(); -
FirebaseJsonArray *arrPtr = fbdo.jsonArrayPtr(); -
std::vector<uint8_t> blob = fbdo.blobData(); -
File file = fbdo.fileStream();
Read the data which its type does not match the data type in the database from above functions will return empty (string, object or array).
BLOB and file stream data are stored as special base64 encoded string which are only supported and implemented by this library.
The encoded base64 string will be prefixed with some header string ("file,base64," and "blob,base64,") for data type manipulation.
The following example showed how to read integer value from node "/test/int".
if (Firebase.RTDB.getInt(&fbdo, "/test/int")) {
if (fbdo.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_integer) {
Serial.println(fbdo.to<int>());
}
} else {
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}To store data at a specific node in Firebase RTDB, use these set functions.
The function included set, setInt, setFloat, setDouble, setBool, setString, setJSON, setArray, setBlob and setFile.
For faster sending data, non-waits or async mode functions are available e.g. setAsync, setIntAsync, setFloatAsync, setDoubleAsync, setBoolAsync, setStringAsync, setJSONAsync, setArrayAsync, setBlobAsync and setFileAsync.
For generic set, use Firebase.RTDB.set(&fbdo, <path>, <any variable or value>).
These async functions will ignore the server responses.
The above functions return boolean value indicates the success of the operation which will be true if all of the following conditions matched.
-
Server returns HTTP status code 200
-
The data types matched between request and response.
Only setBlob and setFile functions that make a silent request to Firebase server, thus no payload response returned.
The priority, virtual node ".priority" of each database node can be set through Firebase's set functions.
The priority value can be used in a query or filtering the children's data under a defined node.
Priority option was removed from File and Blob functions since v2.4.0.
ETag (unique identifier value) assigned to Firebase's set functions is used as conditional checking.
If defined Etag is not matched the defined path's ETag, the set operation will fail with result 412 Precondition Failed.
ETag at any node can be read through Firebase.RTDB.getETag. ETag value changed upon the data was set or delete.
The server's Timestamp can be stored in the database through Firebase.RTDB.setTimestamp.
The returned Timestamp value can get from fbdo.to<int>().
The file systems for flash and sd memory can be changed in FirebaseFS.h.
The following example showed how to store file data to flash memory at node "/test/file_data".
if (Firebase.RTDB.getFile(&fbdo, mem_storage_type_flash, "/test/file_data", "/test.txt"))
{
// The file systems for flash and SD/SDMMC can be changed in FirebaseFS.h.
File file = DEFAULT_FLASH_FS.open("/test.txt", "r");
while (file.available())
{
Serial.print(file.read(), HEX);
}
file.close();
Serial.println();
} else {
Serial.println(fbdo.fileTransferError());
}To append new data to a specific node in Firebase RTDB, use these push functions.
The function included push, pushInt, pushFloat, pushDouble, pushBool, pushString, pushJSON, pushArray, pushBlob, and pushFile.
For faster sending data, non-waits or async mode functions are available e.g. pushAsync, pushIntAsync, pushFloatAsync, pushDoubleAsync, pushBoolAsync, pushStringAsync, pushJSONAsync, pushArrayAsync, pushBlobAsync and pushFileAsync.
These functions return boolean value indicates the success of the operation.
The unique key of a new appended node can be determined from fbdo.pushName().
As set functions, the Firebase's push functions support priority.
ETag was not available after push unless read the ETag at that new appended unique key later with Firebase.RTDB.getETag.
The server's Timestamp can be appended in the database through Firebase.RTDB.pushTimestamp.
The unique key of Timestamp can be determined after Timestamp was appended.
The following example showed how to append new data (using FirebaseJson object) to node "/test/append.
FirebaseJson json;
FirebaseJson json2;
json2.add("child_of_002", 123.456);
json.add("parent_001", "parent 001 text");
json.add("parent 002", json2);
if (Firebase.RTDB.pushJSON(&fbdo, "/test/append", &json)) {
Serial.println(fbdo.dataPath());
Serial.println(fbdo.pushName());
Serial.println(fbdo.dataPath() + "/"+ fbdo.pushName());
} else {
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}Firebase's update functions used to patch or update new or existing data at the defined node.
These functions, updateNode and updateNodeSilent are available and work with JSON object (FirebaseJson object only).
For faster sending data, non-waits or async mode functions are available e.g. updateNodeAsync, and updateNodeSilentAsync.
If any key name provided at a defined node in JSON object has not existed, a new key will be created.
The server returns JSON data payload which was successfully patched.
Return of large JSON payload will cost the network data, alternative function updateNodeSilent or updateNodeSilentAsync should be used to save the network data.
The following example showed how to patch data at "/test".
FirebaseJson updateData;
FirebaseJson json;
json.add("_data2","_value2");
updateData.add("data1","value1");
updateData.add("data2", json);
if (Firebase.RTDB.updateNode(&fbdo, "/test/update", &updateData)) {
Serial.println(fbdo.dataPath());
Serial.println(fbdo.dataType());
Serial.println(fbdo.jsonString());
} else {
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}The following example showed how to delete data and its children at node "/test/append"
Firebase.RTDB.deleteNode(&fbdo, "/test/append");To filter or query the data, the following query parameters are available through the QueryFilter class.
These parameters are orderBy, limitToFirst, limitToLast, startAt, endAt, and equalTo.
To filter data, parameter orderBy should be assigned.
Use "$key" as the orderBy parameter if the key of child nodes was used for the query.
Use "$value" as the orderBy parameter if the value of child nodes was used for the query.
Use key (or full path) of child nodes as the orderBy parameter if all values of the specific key were used for the query.
Use "$priority" as orderBy parameter if child nodes's "priority" was used for query.
The above orderBy parameter can be combined with the following parameters for limited and ranged the queries.
QueryFilter.limitToFirst - The total children (number) to filter from the first child.
QueryFilter.limitToLast - The total last children (number) to filter.
QueryFilter.startAt - Starting value of range (number or string) of query upon orderBy param.
QueryFilter.endAt - Ending value of range (number or string) of query upon orderBy param.
QueryFilter.equalTo - Value (number or string) matches the orderBy param
The following example showed how to use queries parameter in QueryFilter class to filter the data at node "/test/data"
// Assume that children that have key "sensor" are under "/test/data"
// Instantiate the QueryFilter class
QueryFilter query;
// Build query using specified child node key "sensor" under "/test/data"
query.orderBy("sensor");
// Query any child that its value begins with 2 (number), assumed that its data type is float or integer
query.startAt(2);
// Query any child that its value ends with 8 (number), assumed that its data type is float or integer
query.endAt(8);
// Limit the maximum query result to return only the last 5 nodes
query.limitToLast(5);
if (Firebase.RTDB.getJSON(&fbdo, "/test/data", &query))
{
// Success, then try to read the JSON payload value
Serial.println(fbdo.jsonString());
}
else
{
// Failed to get JSON data at defined node, print out the error reason
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}
// Clear all query parameters
query.clear();This library uses HTTP GET request with text/event-stream header to make HTTP streaming connection.
The Firebase's functions that involved the stream operations are beginStream, beginMultiPathStream,
setStreamCallback, setMultiPathStreamCallback and/or readStream.
Function beginStream is to subscribe to the data changes at a defined node.
Function beginMultiPathStream is to subscribe to the data changes at a defined parent node path with multiple child nodes value parsing and works with setMultiPathStreamCallback.
Function setStreamCallback is to assign the callback function that accepts the FirebaseStream class as parameter.
Function setMultiPathStreamCallback is to assign the callback function that accepts the MultiPathStream class as parameter.
The FirebaseStream contains stream's event/data payloadd and interface function calls are similar to FirebaseData object.
The MultiPathStream contains stream's event/data payload for various child nodes.
To polling the stream's event/data payload manually, use readStream in loop().
Function readStream used in the loop() task to continuously read the stream's event and data.
Since polling the stream's event/data payload with readStream, use fbdo.streamAvailable to check if stream event/data payoad is available.
Function fbdo.streamAvailable returned true when new stream's event/data payload was available.
When new stream payload was available, its data and event can be accessed from FirebaseData object functions.
Function endStream ends the stream operation.
Note that, when using the shared FirebaseData object for stream and CRUD usages(normal operation to create,read, update and delete data), the stream connection will be interrupted (closed) to connect in other HTTP mode, the stream will be resumed (open) after the CRUD usages.
For the above case, you need to provide the idle time for FirebaseData object to established the streaming connection and received the stream payload. The changes on the server at the streaming node path during the stream interruption will be missed.
To avoid this sitation, don't share the usage of stream's FirebaseData object, another FirebaseData object should be used.
In addition, delay function used in the same loop of readStream() will defer the streaming, the server data changes may be missed.
Keep in mind that FirebaseData object will create the SSL client inside of HTTPS data transaction and uses large memory.
The following example showed how to subscribe to the data changes at node "/test/data" with a callback function.
// In setup(), set the stream callback function to handle data
// streamCallback is the function that called when database data changes or updates occurred
// streamTimeoutCallback is the function that called when the connection between the server
// and client was timeout during HTTP stream
Firebase.RTDB.setStreamCallback(&fbdo, streamCallback, streamTimeoutCallback);
// In setup(), set the streaming path to "/test/data" and begin stream connection
if (!Firebase.RTDB.beginStream(&fbdo, "/test/data"))
{
// Could not begin stream connection, then print out the error detail
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}
// Global function that handles stream data
void streamCallback(FirebaseStream data)
{
// Print out all information
Serial.println("Stream Data...");
Serial.println(data.streamPath());
Serial.println(data.dataPath());
Serial.println(data.dataType());
// Print out the value
// Stream data can be many types which can be determined from function dataType
if (data.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_integer)
Serial.println(data.to<int>());
else if (data.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_float)
Serial.println(data.to<float>(), 5);
else if (data.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_double)
printf("%.9lf\n", data.to<double>());
else if (data.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_boolean)
Serial.println(data.to<bool>()? "true" : "false");
else if (data.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_string)
Serial.println(data.to<String>());
else if (data.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_json)
{
FirebaseJson *json = data.to<FirebaseJson *>();
Serial.println(json->raw());
}
else if (data.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_array)
{
FirebaseJsonArray *arr = data.to<FirebaseJsonArray *>();
Serial.println(arr->raw());
}
}
// Global function that notifies when stream connection lost
// The library will resume the stream connection automatically
void streamTimeoutCallback(bool timeout)
{
if(timeout){
// Stream timeout occurred
Serial.println("Stream timeout, resume streaming...");
}
}
// For authentication except for legacy token, Firebase.ready() should be called repeatedly
// in loop() to handle authentication tasks.
void loop()
{
if (Firebase.ready())
{
// Firebase is ready to use now.
}
}
For multiple paths streaming, see the MultiPath example.
The following example showed how to subscribe to the data changes at "/test/data" and polling the stream manually.
// In setup(), set the streaming path to "/test/data" and begin stream connection
if (!Firebase.RTDB.beginStream(&fbdo, "/test/data"))
{
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}
// Place this in loop()
if (!Firebase.RTDB.readStream(&fbdo))
{
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}
if (fbdo.streamTimeout())
{
Serial.println("Stream timeout, resume streaming...");
Serial.println();
}
if (fbdo.streamAvailable())
{
if (fbdo.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_integer)
Serial.println(fbdo.to<int>());
else if (fbdo.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_float)
Serial.println(fbdo.to<float>(), 5);
else if (fbdo.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_double)
printf("%.9lf\n", fbdo.to<double>());
else if (fbdo.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_boolean)
Serial.println(fbdo.to<bool>() ? "true" : "false");
else if (fbdo.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_string)
Serial.println(fbdo.to<String>());
else if (fbdo.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_json)
{
FirebaseJson *json = fbdo.to<FirebaseJson *>();
Serial.println(json->raw());
}
else if (fbdo.dataTypeEnum() == fb_esp_rtdb_data_type_array)
{
FirebaseJsonArray *arr = fbdo.to<FirebaseJsonArray *>();
Serial.println(arr->raw());
}
}
// For authentication except for legacy token, Firebase.ready() should be called repeatedly
// in loop() to handle authentication tasks.
void loop()
{
if (Firebase.ready())
{
// Firebase is ready to use now.
}
}
This library allows data backup and restores at a defined path.
The backup file will store in SD/SDMMC card or flash memory.
The file systems for flash and SD memory can be changed via FirebaseFS.h.
Due to SD library used, only 8.3 DOS format file name supported.
The maximum 8 characters for a file name and 3 characters for file extension.
The database restoration returned completed status only when Firebase server successfully updates the data.
Any failed operation will not affect the database (no updates or changes).
The following example showed how to backup all database data at "/" and restore.
String backupFileName;
if (!Firebase.RTDB.backup(&fbdo, mem_storage_type_sd, "/", "/backup.txt"))
{
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}
else
{
Serial.println(fbdo.getBackupFilename());
Serial.println(fbdo.getBackupFileSize());
backupFileName = fbdo.getBackupFilename();
}
// Begin restore backed dup data back to database
if (!Firebase.RTDB.restore(&fbdo, mem_storage_type_sd, "/", backupFileName.c_str()))
{
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}
else
{
Serial.println(fbdo.getBackupFilename());
}When read store, append and update operations were failed due to buffer overflow and network problems.
These operations can retry and queued after the retry amount was reached the maximum retry set in function setMaxRetry.
// set maximum retry amount to 3
Firebase.RTDB.setMaxRetry(&fbdo, 3);The function setMaxErrorQueue limits the maximum queues in Error Queue collection.
The full of queue collection can be checked through function isErrorQueueFull.
// set maximum queues to 10
Firebase.RTDB.setMaxErrorQueue(&fbdo, 10);
// determine whether Error Queue collection is full or not
Firebase.RTDB.isErrorQueueFull(&fbdo);This library provides two approaches to run or process Error Queues with two functions.
beginAutoRunErrorQueueprocessErrorQueue
The function beginAutoRunErrorQueue will run or process queues automatically and can be called once.
While function processErrorQueue will run or process queues and should call inside the loop().
With function beginAutoRunErrorQueue, you can assigned callback function that accept QueueInfo object as parameter.
Which contains all information about being processed queue, number of remaining queues and Error Queue collection status.
Otherwise, Error Queues can be tracked manually with the following functions.
Function getErrorQueueID will return the unsigned integer presents the id of the queue which will keep using later.
Use getErrorQueueID and isErrorQueueExisted to check whether this queue id is still existed or not.
If Error Queue ID does not exist in Error Queues collection, that queue is already done.
The following example showed how to run Error Queues automatically and track the status with the callback function.
// In setup()
// Set the maximum Firebase Error Queues in collection (0 - 255).
// Firebase read/store operation causes by network problems and buffer overflow will be
// added to Firebase Error Queues collection.
Firebase.RTDB.setMaxErrorQueue(&fbdo, 10);
// Begin to run Error Queues in Error Queue collection
Firebase.RTDB.beginAutoRunErrorQueue(&fbdo, callback);
// Use to stop the auto run queues
// Firebase.endAutoRunErrorQueue(fbdo);
void errorQueueCallback (QueueInfo queueinfo){
if (queueinfo.isQueueFull())
{
Serial.println("Queue is full");
}
Serial.print("Remaining queues: ");
Serial.println(queueinfo.totalQueues());
Serial.print("Being processed queue ID: ");
Serial.println(queueinfo.currentQueueID());
Serial.print("Data type:");
Serial.println(queueinfo.dataType());
Serial.print("Method: ");
Serial.println(queueinfo.firebaseMethod());
Serial.print("Path: ");
Serial.println(queueinfo.dataPath());
Serial.println();
}The following example showed how to run Error Queues and track its status manually.
// In setup()
// Set the maximum Firebase Error Queues in collection (0 - 255).
// Firebase read/store operation causes by network problems and buffer overflow will be added to
// Firebase Error Queues collection.
Firebase.RTDB.setMaxErrorQueue(&fbdo, 10);
// All of the following are in loop()
Firebase.RTDB.processErrorQueue(&fbdo);
// Detrnine the queue status
if (Firebase.RTDB.isErrorQueueFull(&fbdo))
{
Serial.println("Queue is full");
}
// Remaining Error Queues in Error Queue collection
Serial.print("Remaining queues: ");
Serial.println(Firebase.RTDB.errorQueueCount(&fbdo));
// Assumed that queueID is unsigned integer array of queue that added to Error Queue collection
// when error and use Firebase.getErrorQueueID to get this Error Queue id.
for (uint8_t i = 0; i < LENGTH_OF_QUEUEID_ARRAY; i++)
{
Serial.print("Error Queue ");
Serial.print(queueID[i]);
if (Firebase.RTDB.isErrorQueueExisted(&fbdo, queueID[i]))
Serial.println(" is queuing");
else
Serial.println(" is done");
}
Serial.println();Error Queues can be saved as a file in SD/SDMMC card or flash memory with function saveErrorQueue.
The file systems for flash and SD memory can be changed via FirebaseFS.h.
Error Queues stored as a file can be restored to Error Queue collection with function restoreErrorQueue.
Two types of storage can be assigned with these functions, mem_storage_type_flash and mem_storage_type_sd.
The following example showed how to restore and save Error Queues in /test.txt file.
// To restore Error Queues
if (Firebase.RTDB.errorQueueCount(&fbdo, "/test.txt", mem_storage_type_flash) > 0)
{
Firebase.RTDB.restoreErrorQueue(&fbdo, "/test.txt", mem_storage_type_flash);
Firebase.deleteStorageFile("/test.txt", mem_storage_type_flash);
}
// To save Error Queues to file
Firebase.RTDB.saveErrorQueue(&fbdo, "/test.txt", mem_storage_type_flash);
This add on library is for the advance usages and works with Firebase RTDB.
With this add on library, you can remotely program your device to control its IOs or do some task or call predefined functions on the fly.
This allows you to change your device behaviour and functions without to flash a new firmware via serial or OTA.
See examples/RTDB/FireSense for the usage.
For FireSense function description, see src/addons/FireSense/README.md.
The library acts as a app server to sends the message to registeration devices by sending request to the Google's FCM backend via the legacy HTTP and HTTPv1 APIs.
The functions available are setServerKey, send, subscibeTopic, unsubscibeTopic, appInstanceInfo and regisAPNsTokens.
Function Firebase.FCM.setServerKey to setup the Server Key which required by the legacy protocols.
Function Firebase.FCM.send to send the message with the selectable legacy and HTTPv1 messages constructors.
Function Firebase.FCM.subscribeTopic to add the subscription for instance ID (IID) tokens to the defined topic.
Function Firebase.FCM.unsubscribeTopic to remove the subscription for instance ID (IID) tokens from the defined topic.
Function Firebase.FCM.appInstanceInfo to get the app instance info for a device. This also provides the subscribed topics info.
Function Firebase.FCM.regisAPNsTokens to create the registration tokens for iOS APNs tokens.
The library provides two message constructors that hold the data to construct the JSON object payload internally.
For legacy message, see https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/http-server-ref
For HTTPv1 message, see ttps://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/fcm/rest/v1/projects.messages
The HTTPv1 APIs requires OAUth2.0 authentication using the Service Account credential.
The following example showed how to send FCM message.
// Provide your Firebase project's server key to send messsage using the legacy protocols
Firebase.FCM.setServerKey(FIREBASE_FCM_SERVER_KEY);
// Construct the legacy message
FCM_HTTPv1_JSON_Message msg;
// Assign the device registration token
msg.token = DEVICE_REGISTRATION_ID_TOKEN;
// Assign the notification payload
msg.notification.body = "Notification body";
msg.notification.title = "Notification title";
FirebaseJson json;
String payload;
// Assign the data payload
// all data key-values should be in string
json.add("humidity", "70");
json.toString(payload);
msg.data = payload.c_str();
// Send message
if (Firebase.FCM.send(&fbdo, &msg))
{
erial.println("Message sent to FCM backend.");
Serial.println(Firebase.FCM.payload(&fbdo));
}
else
{
Serial.println("Something wrong, can't send request to FCM backend.");
Serial.println(fbdo.errorReason());
}
This library implements a REST Client for Cloud Firestore database. The RPC APIs are not implemented in this library.
The support functions for Cloud Firestore are export, import, create, patch, get, delete the document and list the documents and collection.
See the Firestore examples for the usages.
If you see that some useful applications are missed from this library, you can contribute the code examples that can be usefull for other users.
The Cloud Firestore REST APIs are different than the APIs that used in Firebase SDK clients.
If you don't see the examples that can be applied for your works or you don't know how to use Firestore functions in this library, for better understanding the Cloud Firestore RESt APIs please see the REST API reference document which you can test with its API Explorer.
For Cloud Firestore REST API features which are not available in this API, you can request the features here.
The unsecured security rules that allows the public usage of Firestore is
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /todos/{document=**} {
allow read, write: if true;
}
}
}
For secured Firestore usages, the security rules should include the auth field similar to this.
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth.uid != null;
}
}
}
This Google document provides the Firestore security rules details.
The Firebase Storage bucket file upload, download, read its meta data and listing are supported.
The OTA firmware update via the Strage bucket is supported.
See the Firebase Storage examples for the usages.
The Firebase or Google Cloud Storage bucket file upload, download, read its meta data and listing are supported.
This Google Cloud Storage allows large files upload which upload the large file via the Firebase Storage functions is not allowable.
The OTA firmware update via the Google Strage bucket is supported.
See the Google Cloud Storage examples for the usages.
The Cloud Functions create/deployment, update, call, delete and list are supported.
The library also support the source code deployment which you can edit the functions and deploy it using the embedded device.
See Cloud Functions examples for complete usages.
Some Firestore functions and all Cloud Functions functions requires the OAuth2.0 authentication and not allow the unauthentication and Email/password or custom token authenication access.
You may still get the error permission denined error even using OAuth2.0 authen with Service Account credentials, because the client in the Service Account does not have the Owner and Editor permissions.
To assign the Owner and Editor permissions to the client.
Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin
Choose the project, look at the member which matches the client email in service account credentials. Edit the permission, add the role Owner under the Basic
Wait a few minutes for the action to propagate after adding roles.
For Cloud Functions Cloud Build API must be enabled for the project. To enable Cloud Build API go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library/cloudbuild.googleapis.com
This library has built-in FirebaseJson Arduino library, the easiest JSON parser, builder and editor.
FirebaseJson usages are so simple as you read, store and update(edit) the JSON node in Firebase RTDB.
It doesn't use the recursive call to parse or deserialize complex or nested JSON objects and arrays.
This makes the library can use with a limited memory device.
Since you declare the FirebaseJson or FirebaseJsonArray object, use the functions setJsonData, setJsonArrayData, add, set and remove to build or edit the JSON/Array object and use get to parse the node's contents.
Defined the relative path of the specific node to add, set, remove and get functions to add, set, remove and get its contents.
Function FirebaseJson.setJsonData is to deserialize the JSON string to JSON object.
In addition, function FirebaseJson.readFrom can be used to read the streaming JSON contents from WiFi/Ethernet Client, File and Harware Serial and serialize it as the streaming content contains valid JSON data.
Function FirebaseJson.add is used to add the new node with the contents e.g. String, Number (int and double), Boolean, Array and Object to the defined node.
Function FirebaseJson.set is used for edit, overwrite, create new (if not exist) node with contents e.g. String, Number (int and double), Boolean, Array and Object at the defined relative path and node.
Function FirebaseJson.get is used for parsing or deserializee the JSON object and array. The deserialized or parsed result will keep in FirebaseJsonData object which can be casted to any type of value or variable e.g string, bool, int, float, double by using FirebaseJsonData.to<type>.
The casting from FirebaseJsonData to FirebaseJson and FirebaseJsonArray objects is different, by using FirebaseJsonData.getJSON(FirebaseJson) and FirebaseJsonData.getArray(FirebaseJsonArray).
Function FirebaseJson.remove is used to remove the node and all its children's contents at the defined relative path and node.
Function FirebaseJson.toString is used for serializeing the JSON object to writable objects e.g. char array, Arduino String, C/C++ string, WiFi/Ethernet Client and Hardware/Software Serial.
Function FirebaseJson.serializedBufferLength is used for calculating the serialized buffer size that required for reserved buffer in serialization.
Function FirebaseJson.responseCode is used to get the http code response header while read the WiFi/Ethernet Client using FirebaseJson.toString.
Functions FirebaseJson.iteratorBegin, FirebaseJson.iteratorGet and FirebaseJson.iteratorEnd are used to parse all JSON object contents as a list which can be iterated with index.
Function FirebaseJson.clear is used to clear JSON object contents.
Function FirebaseJson.setFloatDigits is for float number precision when serialized to string.
Function FirebaseJson.setDoubleDigits is for double number precision when serialized to string.
Function FirebaseJsonArray.add is used for adding the new contents e.g. String, Number (int and double), Boolean, Array and Object to JSON array.
Function FirebaseJsonArray.set is for edit, overwrite, create new (if not exist) contents e.g. String, Number (int and double), Boolean, Array and Object at the defined relative path or defined index of JSON array.
Function FirebaseJsonArray.get and FirebaseJsonArray.searchwork in the same way as FirebaseJson objects
Function FirebaseJsonArray.remove is used to remove the array's contents at the defined relative path or defined index of JSON array.
Function FirebaseJsonArray.toString is used for serializeing the JSON array object to writable objects e.g. char array, Arduino String, C/C++ string, WiFi/Ethernet Client and Hardware/Software Serial.
Function FirebaseJsonArray.serializedBufferLength is used for calculating the serialized buffer size that required for reserved buffer in serialization.
Function FirebaseJsonArray.responseCode is used to get the http code response header while read the WiFi/Ethernet Client using FirebaseJson.toString.
Function FirebaseJsonArray.clear is used to clear JSON array object contents.
Function FirebaseJsonArray.setFloatDigits is for float number precision when serialized to string.
Function FirebaseJsonArray.setDoubleDigits is for double number precision when serialized to string.
See examples/FirebaseJson for the usage.
For FirebaseJson function description, see FirebaseJSON object Functions.
The following example shows how to use FirebaseJson.
