Using googles Firebase API as a database for ignition

Ignition
1

I’m developing a Flutter mobile app that will communicate with a database that is also connected to ignition. It will be much easier to use Firebase with the mobile app development, but ignition doesn’t appear to have the capability to communicate with Firebase. If anyone has experience with ignition/firebase communication I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks!

You could probably interact with the REST API using system.net.httpClient.

Thanks Paul. How difficult do you think it would be to implement that for relatively small application? My second option would be to just create my own using php and MySQL

The tricky part will probably be authentication. Actually interacting with the API should be relatively easy with httpClient, since it’s got good support for sending and retrieving JSON.
