## What it is
Pyrebase is a simple Python wrapper around the Firebase API, supporting authentication, the Realtime Database, and Cloud Storage. It lets Python applications and scripts interact with Firebase services using either user tokens or admin service-account credentials.

## Use cases
- authenticate users with email and password against Firebase from Python
- read and write data to a Firebase Realtime Database from a script
- upload and download files from Firebase Storage in Python
- stream real-time database updates in a Python backend
- administer Firebase data server-side with a service account

## When to choose
- you need simple Python access to Firebase auth, Realtime Database, or Storage
- you are building scripts, prototypes, or small backends on Firebase
- you want a lightweight wrapper instead of the full Firebase Admin SDK

## When to avoid
- you need Firestore support, which Pyrebase does not cover
- you need a production-grade, actively maintained Firebase client
- you are on Python 2, which is unsupported

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: auth, database, http-client, sdk
- domain: backend, developer-tools, apis, databases
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: firebase, firebase-auth, realtime-database, firebase-storage, api-wrapper
