@dumdum
this thread is old, but just thought it's worth while stressing what @Gordon mentioned above:
you can't perform a REST API call on a 'cheap' ESP8266 board, you'll need one of the boards that supports this.
I actually like the idea of developing with the more expensive Wifi board, but I'd like to deliver them cheap boards of 2$ ESP8266 - and that (apparently) can't be used - unless you write and hosts an http to https proxy somewhere - not that hard really :) and you can still stay free with platforms like heroku
------- edit ----------
btw - these boards DO support Firebase if you went along the C++ standard Arduino IDE, just far less fun coding on those
