I am building a mobile application on Flutter and have integrated a Firebase login to the application. I also have a Python Django REST API that is called within the app. I am hoping to integrate Firebase with the REST API so that the users in Firebase can become authenticated users of the API (and so I can create tokens and tokenize the API endpoint).
Does anyone know of a method I can use for this? Novice programmer and new to Firebase so let me know if there is a better way to do this! Appreciate the help.

We can use any Firebase Realtime Database URL as a REST endpoint. All we need to do is append . json to the end of the URL and send a request from our favorite HTTPS client.
You can upload dynamic or static content on firebase, in the case of a Django app it's dynamic but your stylesheets / scripts are static content. Then in your server you have to specify that all the static files are stored in the above path.
Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs. Some reasons you might want to use REST framework: The Web browsable API is a huge usability win for your developers.
The Firebase docs explain this well, if you check out the following URL: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/verify-id-tokens . I started a Django app to handle this myself which you can download from PyPi: drf-firebase-auth, which you can either use yourself or fork the repo and adjust as suitable to your needs.
