Introduction

Firebase is a powerful cloud platform that provides a range of services for building and scaling web and mobile applications. In this project, we explore how to interact with Firebase's backend services programmatically using Python and the Firebase Admin SDK. We cover the process of setting up Firebase, initializing the Firebase Admin SDK, and performing CRUD operations in Realtime Database or Firestore.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• firebase-admin package
• Firebase project with the necessary services enabled

Installation

1. Fork and clone the repository:

   git clone <repo_url>
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd pybase-crud
   

3. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   

4. Activate the virtual environment:

   source venv/bin/activate
   

5. Configure Firebase Admin SDK:
   • Generate a private key file (service account key) in your Firebase project settings.
   • Rename the generated JSON file to serviceAccountKey.json.
   • Place the serviceAccountKey.json file in the project directory.

Usage

1. Update the Firebase project configuration in the main.py file with your own project credentials.

2. Run the Python Notebook main.ipynb to perform CRUD operations in Firebase.
