Python, no connection to own database

[Daniel Zuidinga]

I use https://github.com/abehaskins/python-firebasin to get easier access to the firebase events.

It works with the https://publicdata-cryptocurrency.firebaseio.com/bitcoin datbase but I get no connection to my own database. I allowed anonymous requests and set security rules to read and write.

I use python 2.7.9 with latest libraries.

any ideas?

Hey Daniel,

I wrote python-firebasin library years ago and even at that time it wasn't very stable. Over time minor changes to Firebase have introduced bugs like this and without a proper test suite it's hard to find the time to track down exactly what is broken. 

I really wouldn't recommend using this. The much easier option would be to use Firebase's Streaming REST API. This is much simpler than re-implementing the whole client as Firebasin tries to do, but you can still get realtime updates in your Python script.

Hope this helps!
