python firebase realtime listener

Question

Hi there I\'m new in python. I would like to implement the listener on my Firebase DB. When I change one or more parameters on the DB my Python code have to do something. Ho

As Peter Haddad suggested, you should use Pyrebase for achieving something like that given that the python SDK still does not support realtime event listeners.

import pyrebase

config = {
    "apiKey": "apiKey",
    "authDomain": "projectId.firebaseapp.com",
    "databaseURL": "https://databaseName.firebaseio.com",
    "storageBucket": "projectId.appspot.com"
}

firebase = pyrebase.initialize_app(config)

db = firebase.database()

def stream_handler(message):
    print(message["event"]) # put
    print(message["path"]) # /-K7yGTTEp7O549EzTYtI
    print(message["data"]) # {'title': 'Pyrebase', "body": "etc..."}


my_stream = db.child("posts").stream(stream_handler)
