Firebase JWT User Authentication

Demonstrates how to authenticate a Firebase REST API call using a JSON service account private key. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# First load the Firebase JSON private key into a string.

if ($fac->get_LastMethodSuccess() != 1) {
    print $fac->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}
