I don't know, but

According to ChatGPT:

Yes, you can run a RESTful API built with CodeIgniter in Firebase as part of your Firebase project. However, there are some considerations and adjustments you need to make to achieve this:

1. Firebase Hosting: You can use Firebase Hosting to serve static websites, including the frontend application that consumes your RESTful API running on the CodeIgniter server. Firebase Hosting can host websites or applications built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

2. Firebase Functions: If your RESTful API requires server-side logic and connects to a database or other resources, you can use Firebase Functions. Firebase Functions are cloud-based functions run by Firebase, allowing you to write server-side code that can interact with APIs or other resources and provide responses to the frontend application.

3. Firebase Firestore: If your RESTful API uses a database, you can replace it with Firebase Firestore, which is a cloud database service provided by Firebase. Firestore can be used as a replacement or in conjunction with the database used in your RESTful API.

However, there are changes and adjustments that need to be made to your RESTful API code to work well in the Firebase environment. Some technical considerations include:

• Changing database connection settings: If your RESTful API uses a database like MySQL, you need to change the connection settings to interact with Firebase Firestore.

• Changing settings to process HTTP requests: If your RESTful API uses specific features in CodeIgniter to process HTTP requests (such as PUT or DELETE methods), you must ensure that these implementations also work well in Firebase Functions.

• Ensuring API security: If your RESTful API contains endpoints that require user authorization or authentication, you need to ensure that the API security settings also work well in the Firebase environment.

If you decide to run your CodeIgniter RESTful API in Firebase, it is advisable to have a good understanding of Firebase requirements and limitations and thoroughly test to ensure that your API functions as expected in the Firebase environment.
