        Python interface to the Firebase's REST API
        
        [![Firebase](https://szimek.github.io/presentation-firebase-intro/images/firebase_logo.png)](http://www.firebase.com)
        
        ## Installation
        
        
        python-firebase highly makes use of the **requests** library so before you begin, you need to have that package installed.
        
            $ pip install firebase
        
        ## Getting Started
        
        You can fetch any of your data in JSON format by appending '.json' to the end of the URL in which your data resides and, then send an HTTPS request through your browser. Like all other REST specific APIs, Firebase offers a client to update(PATCH, PUT), create(POST), or remove(DELETE) his stored data along with just to fetch it.
        
        The library provides all the correspoding methods for those actions in both synchoronous and asynchronous manner. You can just start an asynchronous GET request with your callback function, and the method
        
        
        To fetch all the users in your storage simply do the following:
        
        ```python
        from firebase import firebase
        firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication('https://your_storage.firebaseio.com', None)
        result = firebase.get('/users', None)
        print result
        {'1': 'John Doe', '2': 'Jane Doe'}
        ```
        
        
        The second argument of **get** method is the name of the snapshot. Thus, if you leave it NULL, you get the data in the URL **/users.json**. Besides, if you set it to **1**, you get the data in the url **/users/1.json**. In other words, you get the user whose ID equals to 1.
        
        ```python
        from firebase import firebase
        firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication('https://your_storage.firebaseio.com', None)
        result = firebase.get('/users', '1')
        print result
        {'1': 'John Doe'}
        ```
        
        You can also provide extra query parameters that will be appended to the url or extra key-value pairs sent in the HTTP header.
        
        ```python
        from firebase import firebase
        firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication('https://your_storage.firebaseio.com', None)
        result = firebase.get('/users/2', None, {'print': 'pretty'}, {'X_FANCY_HEADER': 'VERY FANCY'})
        print result
        {'2': 'Jane Doe'}
        ```
        
        Creating new data requires a POST or PUT request. Assuming you don't append **print=silent** to the url, if you use POST the returning value becomes the name of the snapshot, if PUT you get the data you just sent. If print=silent is provided, you get just NULL because the backend never sends an output.
        
        ```python
        from firebase import firebase
        firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication('https://your_storage.firebaseio.com', None)
        new_user = 'Ozgur Vatansever'
        
        result = firebase.post('/users', new_user, {'print': 'pretty'}, {'X_FANCY_HEADER': 'VERY FANCY'})
        print result
        {u'name': u'-Io26123nDHkfybDIGl7'}
        
        result = firebase.post('/users', new_user, {'print': 'silent'}, {'X_FANCY_HEADER': 'VERY FANCY'})
        print result == None
        True
        ```
        
        Deleting data is relatively easy compared to other actions. You just set the url and that's all. Backend sends no output as a result of a delete operation.
        
        ```python
        from firebase import firebase
        firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication('https://your_storage.firebaseio.com', None)
        firebase.delete('/users', '1')
        # John Doe goes away.
        ```
        
        ## Authentication
        
        Authentication in Firebase is nothing but to simply creating a token that conforms to the JWT standards and, putting it into the querystring with the name **auth**. The library creates that token for you so you never end up struggling with constructing a valid token on your own. If the data has been protected against write/read operations with some security rules, the backend sends an appropriate error message back to the client with the status code **403 Forbidden**.
        
        ```python
        from firebase import firebase
        firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication('https://your_storage.firebaseio.com', authentication=None)
        result = firebase.get('/users', None, {'print': 'pretty'})
        print result
        {'error': 'Permission denied.'}
        
        authentication = firebase.FirebaseAuthentication('THIS_IS_MY_SECRET', 'ozgurvt@gmail.com', extra={'id': 123})
        firebase.authentication = authentication
        print authentication.extra
        {'admin': False, 'debug': False, 'email': 'ozgurvt@gmail.com', 'id': 123, 'provider': 'password'}
        
        user = authentication.get_user()
        print user.firebase_auth_token
        "eyJhbGciOiAiSFMyNTYiLCAidHlwIjogIkpXVCJ9.eyJhZG1pbiI6IGZhbHNlLCAiZGVidWciOiBmYWxzZSwgIml
        hdCI6IDEzNjE5NTAxNzQsICJkIjogeyJkZWJ1ZyI6IGZhbHNlLCAiYWRtaW4iOiBmYWxzZSwgInByb3ZpZGVyIjog

        GQklslOlS4uIBLSSJj88YNrloWXvisRgfQ"
        
        result = firebase.get('/users', None, {'print': 'pretty'})
        print result
        {'1': 'John Doe', '2': 'Jane Doe'}
        ```
        
        ## Concurrency
        
        The interface heavily depends on the standart **multiprocessing** library when concurrency comes in. While creating an asynchronous call, an on-demand process pool is created and, the async method is executed by one of the idle process inside the pool. The pool remains alive until the main process dies. So every time you trigger an async call, you always use the same pool. When the method returns, the pool process ships the returning value back to the main process within the callback function provided.
        
        ```python
        import json
        
        from firebase import firebase
        from firebase import jsonutil
        
        firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication('https://your_storage.firebaseio.com', authentication=None)
        
        def log_user(response):
            with open('/tmp/users/%s.json' % response.keys()[0], 'w') as users_file:
                users_file.write(json.dumps(response, cls=jsonutil.JSONEncoder))
        
        firebase.get_async('/users', None, {'print': 'pretty'}, callback=log_user)
        ```
