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. How can I do it? Thank a lot

my db is like simple list of data from 001 to 200:

"remote-controller"
001 -> 000
002 -> 020
003 -> 230

my code is:

from firebase import firebase
firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication('https://remote-controller.firebaseio.com/', None)
result = firebase.get('003', None)
print result

It looks like this is supported now (october 2018): although it's not documented in the 'Retrieving Data' guide, you can find the needed functionality in the API reference. I tested it and it works like this:

def listener(event):
    print(event.event_type)  # can be 'put' or 'patch'
    print(event.path)  # relative to the reference, it seems
    print(event.data)  # new data at /reference/event.path. None if deleted

firebase_admin.db.reference('my/data/path').listen(listener)
