@gavinchris37 you're reading the environment variable as string, thus you're receiving the below error.

TypeError: string indices must be integers

The following snippet should fix it:

import json

firebase = pyrebase.initialize_app(json.loads(CONFIG))

If it helps, please check firebase-rest-api which is uses updated libraries and some new features.
