Google's Firebase Realtime Database Arduino Library for ESP8266 v 1.0.4
This client library provides the most reliable operations for read, store, update, delete, backup and restore the database data.
In addition, the library allows you to read and store binary data from/to device's memory or external SD memory.
This library comunicated with Google Firebase Realtime Database using the REST API.
The library supports all ESP8266 MCU based modules. For ESP32 please try ESP32 Firebase Arduino library

From Arduino IDE, goto menu Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library... and choose Firebase-ESP8266-master.zip that previously downloaded.
Go to menu Files -> Examples -> Firebase-ESP8266-master and choose one from examples.
For PlatformIO, create folder "Firebase-ESP8266" in folder "lib" and store these four files in it.
//1. Include Firebase ESP8266 library (this library)
#include "FirebaseESP8266.h"
//2. Include ESP8266WiFi.h and must be included after FirebaseESP8266.h
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
//3. Declare the Firebase Data object in global scope
FirebaseData firebaseData;

//5. Optional, set AP reconnection in setup()
Firebase.reconnectWiFi(true);
To read the data, use get<Data Type> functions i.e. getInt, getFlot, getBool, getString, getJSON, getBlob and getFile.
The get<Data Type> function returned boolean value for success of operation. The success of operation determined from
payload that Firebase server returned back to client. The http status and matching between data type request and response were determined to set the success status.
To read the payload data, one of theses functions can be called i.e. intData, floatData, boolData, stringData, jsonData and blobData.
The data you read from returned payload will tell actual data type stored or existed in database, not the modification version data type e.g. string "1.5" stored in database, can be read only from stringData as it returned from server.
Any attempt to read integer from intData, float from floatData, and JSON from JsonData will return zero and empty string.
This allow you to know what exactly type of data stored in database and how to manage it instead of cast all data as string (int -> string or float -> string) or as number.
You can call getDataType to determine what type of data returned to be manipulated.
BLOB and file stream daya types were only implemented by this library.
Normally BLOB or any binary data type is not supported by Firebase Realtime database, this library working with binary data by encoding the data into string before sending to server.
Then getBlob and getFile functions will read the encoded string from database and decoded it back to binary data before return data to client.
Encoding binary to string in this library is using base64 binary-to-text encoding schemes, the encoded string will be prefixed with some header string ("file,base64," and "blob,base64,") for data type manipulation.
The encoded string length will larger than the original binary data by 30%.
The terms used in this document and library, Blob data is byte array in memory that encoded to string to store or decoded when read from database.
While file stream is binary data that being write to SD card which obtained from decoded string that read from database or binary data that being read from SD card and encoded to string to store in database.
Then getBlob function reads data in database and decoded it into byte array, while getFile reads data in database, then decoded and save it to SD card.
Here is the example usage to read integer value from defined database path "/test/int".
//Read integer value from database at "/test/int"
int val = 0;
if (Firebase.getInt(firebaseData, "/test/int")) {
//Success, then read the payload value
//Make sure payload value returned from server is integer
//This prevent you to get garbage data
if (firebaseData.dataType() == "int")) {
val = firebaseData.intData();
Serial.println(val);
}
} else {
//Failed, then print out the error detail
Serial.println(firebaseData.errorReason());
}
To store the data, use set<Data Type> functions i.e. setInt, setFlot, setBool, setString, setJSON, setBlob and setFile.
The set<Data Type> function returned boolean value for success of operation. The success of operation determined from
payload that Firebase server returned back to client. The http status and matching between data type request and response.
Only setBlob and setFile functions that make a silent request to Firebase server, thus no payload response is returned.
The success operation for setBlob and setFile determined only from http status "No Content".
Below is the example usage to store or set file data from SD card, "/test.txt" to defined database path "/test/file_data".
//Store file content "/test.txt" on SD card to database at "/test/file_data".
//Due to SD library used, file name must be in 8.3 DOS format (max. 8 bytes file name and 3 bytes file extension).
if (Firebase.setFile(firebaseData, "/test/file_data", "/test.txt")){
//Success, data was downloaded and saved then open the file.
//Print out all file content.
File file = SD.open("/test.txt", FILE_READ);
while (file.available())
{
Serial.print(file.read(), HEX);
}
file.close();
Serial.println();
} else {
//Failed, then print out the error detail for file transfer error.
//Use firebaseData.fileTransferError instead of firebaseData.errorReason() in case of working with file.
Serial.println(firebaseData.fileTransferError());
}
To append new data to database, push<Data Type> should be called e.g. pushInt, pushFloat, pushBool, pushString, pushJSON, pushBlob and pushFile.
With push operation, server will return payload (key or name of newly appended node) to client.
Working with JSON data allow us to read or store multiple data at once because JSON data can store many key/value pairs, array of object and nested objects.
Function setJSON will set/replace value at defined database path with value in JSON data, and also create child nodes.
While in function pushJSON, all key/value in JSON data will be appended to the defined database path as new node.
Below is the example for appending new data (using JSON) to the path "/test/append.
//Append many data (multiple keys included nest data) to the database at "/test/append"
String jsonData = "{\"parent_001\":\"parent 001 text\", \"parent 002\":{\"child_of_002\":123.456}}";
if (Firebase.pushJSON(firebaseData, "/test/append", jsonData)) {
//Success, then read the payload value
//Database path to be appended
Serial.println(firebaseData.dataPath()); //Should be "/test/append"
//New created key/name
Serial.println(firebaseData.pushName());
//Absolute path of new appended data
Serial.println(firebaseData.dataPath() + "/"+ firebaseData.pushName());
} else {
//Failed, then print out the error detail
Serial.println(firebaseData.errorReason());
}
To update database at defined path and its child nodes, updateNode or updateNodeSilent should be called.
JSON data is needed, and passed to these functions. The result from update operation, the database data at defined path will be partialy or completed update depending on the keys in JSON data.
If any key provided in JSON data was not existed in database at the path, new key will be created.
Everytime you call updateNode, the payload that exactly the JSON data you sent will return back from server.
Update database with large JSON will consume as much as double network data. Function updateNodeSilent can reduce the network data usage in this case.
Below is the example for database update at "/test" using JSON data.
//Append many data (multiple keys included nest data) to the database at "/test/update"
String updateData = "{\"data1\":\"value1\", \"data2\":{\"_data2\":\"_value2\"}}";
if (Firebase.updateNode(firebaseData, "/test/update", updateData)) {
//Success, then try to read the payload value
//Database path that updated
Serial.println(firebaseData.dataPath());
//Data type at updated database path
Serial.println(firebaseData.dataType()); //Should be "json"
//Print the JSON string payload that returned from server
Serial.println(firebaseData.jsonData()); //Should mathes the value in updateData variable
//Actual sent payload JSON data
Serial.println(updateData);
} else {
//Failed, then print out the error detail
Serial.println(firebaseData.errorReason());
}
To delete the data in database, just call deleteNode function.
Below example will delete data and its child nodes at "/test/append"
Firebase.deleteNode(firebaseData, "/test/append");
Data Filtering via query parameters
The quey parameters that can set using the QueryFilter class.
These parameters are orderBy, limitToFirst, limitToLast, startAt, endAt, and equalTo.
To filter data, parameter orderBy should be assigned which you can assign "$key" for filtering all nodes under defined database path
using their keys, assign "$value" for filtering all nodes under defined database path using their values.
Assign specific node key or name for filtering the specified child node under defined database path using their key, and assign "$priority" for filtering all nodes under defined database path using their "virtual child" named .priority.
And using the follower query properties to limit 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
Below example show how to using queries parameter in QueryFilter class to filter the data at database path "/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 is begin with 2 (number), assumed that its data type is float or integer
query.startAt(2);
//Query any child that its value is end 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.getJSON(firebaseData, "/test/data", query))
{
//Success, then try to read the JSON payload value
Serial.println(firebaseData.jsonData());
}
else
{
//Failed to get JSON data at defined database path, print out the error reason
Serial.println(firebaseData.errorReason());
}
//Clear all query parameters
query.clear();
The Firebase Realtime Database update or change event was sent to client using the HTTP stream connection. The connection was keep alive as long as no network communication interruption.
The function to handle the update and change event monitoring are beginStream, readStream and streamAvailable.
To subscribe, monitor or follow the data change on defined database path, the function beginStream must be called first.
To handle the data that will be received when database at that path updates or changes, the function readStream and streamAvailable should be called in loop.
To determine the stream data is available, function streamAvailable should be called immediately after readStream.
The function streamAvailable returned true when stream data was received in buffer.
Then stream data can be accessed directly by calling intData, floatData, stringData, jsonData and blobData.
Here is the example use of stream to handle the changes or updates at "/test/data".
//In setup(), set the streaming path to "/test/data" and begin stream connection
if (!Firebase.beginStream(firebaseData, "/test/data"))
{
//Could not begin stream connection, then print out the error detail
Serial.println(firebaseData.errorReason());
}
//In loop()
if (!Firebase.readStream(firebaseData))
{
//If read stream was failed, print the error detail.
Serial.println(firebaseData.errorReason());
}
if (firebaseData.streamTimeout())
{
//If stream timeout, just notify
Serial.println("Stream timeout, resume streaming...");
Serial.println();
}
if (firebaseData.streamAvailable())
{
//Print out value
//Stream data can be many types which can be determined from function dataType
if (firebaseData.dataType() == "int")
Serial.println(firebaseData.intData());
else if (firebaseData.dataType() == "float")
Serial.println(firebaseData.floatData());
else if (firebaseData.dataType() == "string")
Serial.println(firebaseData.stringData());
else if (firebaseData.dataType() == "json")
Serial.println(firebaseData.jsonData());
}
The backup and restore, specify the filename and the database path to backup or restore.
Due to SD library used, only 8.3 DOS format file name was support i.e. maximum 8 characters for file name and 3 characters for file extension.
The database restoration returned completed status only when Firebase server completely update the data.
Any failed operation will not affected the database (no updates or changes).
Here is the usage example to back up all database at root path "/" and restore it back to database.
String backupFileName = "";
//Begin backup whole database and download to "/backup.txt" on SD card
if (!Firebase.backup(firebaseData, "/", "/backup.txt"))
{
//Error when backup database, then print out file transfer error detail
Serial.println(firebaseData.fileTransferError());
}
else
{
//Successfull backup, print out the file path and size
Serial.println(firebaseData.getBackupFilename());
Serial.println(firebaseData.getBackupFileSize());
backupFileName = firebaseData.getBackupFilename();
}
//Begin restore backed dup data back to database
if (!Firebase.restore(firebaseData, "/", backupFileName))
{
//Database restoration failed, printout the error detail
Serial.println(firebaseData.fileTransferError());
}
else
{
//Database restoration success, printout the filename that used for restore
Serial.println(firebaseData.getBackupFilename());
}

bool readStream(FirebaseData &dataObj);End the stream connection at defined path.
Can be restart again by calling beginStream.
param dataObj - Firebase Data Object to hold data and instances.
return Boolean type status indicates the success of operation.
bool endStream(FirebaseData &dataObj);Backup (download) database at defined database path to SD card.
param dataObj - Firebase Data Object to hold data and instances.
param nodePath - Database path to be backuped.
param fileName - File name in 8.3 DOS format (max. 8 bytes file name and 3 bytes file extension) to save in SD card.
return Boolean type status indicates the success of operation.
bool backup(FirebaseData &dataObj, const String &nodePath, const String &fileName);Restore database at defined path usin backup file saved on SD card.
param dataObj - Firebase Data Object to hold data and instances.
param nodePath - Database path to be restored.
param fileName - Backup file name in 8.3 DOS format (max. 8 bytes file name and 3 bytes file extension) stored in SD card.
return Boolean type status indicates the success of operation.
bool restore(FirebaseData &dataObj, const String &nodePath, const String &fileName);Get WiFi client instance.
return WiFi client instance.
WiFiClientSecure getWiFiClient();Pause/Unpause WiFiClient from all Firebase operations.
param pause True for pause and False for unpause.
return Boolean type status indicates the success of operation.
bool pauseFirebase(bool pause);Determine the data type of payload returned from server.
return The one of these data type e.g. integer, float, string, json and blob.
String dataType();Determine the event type of stream.
return The one of these event type String e.g. put, patch, cancel, and auth_revoked.
The event type "put" indicated that data at event path relative to stream path was completely changed. Event path can be determined from dataPath().
The event type "patch" indicated that data at event path relative to stream path was updated. Event path can be determined from dataPath().
The event type "cancel" indeicated something wrong and cancel by server.
The event type "auth_revoked" indicated the provided Firebase Authentication Data (Database secret) is no longer valid.
String eventType();Determine the current stream path.
return The database streaming path.
String streamPath();Determine the current data path.
return The database path which belong to server' s returned payload.
The database path returned from this function in case of stream, also changed up on the child or parent's stream value changes.
String dataPath();Determine the error reason String from process.
return The error description string (String object).
String errorReason();Return the ineger data of server returned payload.
return Integer value.
int intData();Return the float data of server returned payload.
return Float value.
float floatData();Return the Boolean data of server returned payload.
return Boolean value.
float boolData();Return the String data of server returned payload.
return String (String object).
String stringData();Return the JSON String data of server returned payload.
return String (String object).
String jsonData();Return the blob data (uint8_t) array of server returned payload.
return Dynamic array of 8-bit unsigned integer i.e. std::vector<uint8_t>.
std::vector<uint8_t> blobData();Return the new appended node's name or key of server returned payload when calling pushXXX function.
return String (String object).
String pushName();Determine the stream connection status.
return Boolean type status indicates whether the Firebase Data object is working with stream or not.
bool isStream();Determine the server connection status.
return Boolean type status indicates whether the Firebase Data object is connected to server or not.
bool httpConnected();Determine the timeout event of server's stream (30 sec is default).
Nothing to do when stream connection timeout, the stream connection will be automatic resumed.
return Boolean type status indicates whether the stream was timeout or not.
bool streamTimeout();Determine the availability of data or paylaod returned from server.
return Boolean type status indicates whether the server return back the new payload or not.
bool dataAvailable();Determine the availability of stream event-data paylaod returned from server.
return Boolean type status indicates whether the server return back the stream event-data
payload or not.
bool streamAvailable();Determine the matching between data type that intend to get from/store to database and the server's return payload data type.
return Boolean type status indicates whether the type of data being get from/store to database
and server's returned payload are matched or not.
bool mismatchDataType();Determine the http status code return from server.
return Integer number of HTTP status.
int httpCode();Check overflow of the returned payload data buffer.
return Boolean of the overflow status.
Default buffer size is 400 bytes, assigned via FIREBASE_RESPONSE_SIZE macro in FirebaseESP8266.h
bool bufferOverflow();Determine the name (full path) of backup file in SD card.
return String (String object) of file name that store on SD card after backup operation.
String getBackupFilename();Determine the size of backup file.
return Number of byte of backup file in byte after backup operation.
size_t getBackupFileSize();Clear or empty data in Firebase Data object.
void clear();Determine the error description for file transfering (pushFile, setFile, backup and restore).
return Error description string (String object).
String fileTransferError();Return the server's payload data.
return Payload string (String object).
