How to GET data from firebase by REST via curl?

Question

I'm trying to GET data from firebase by REST. My firebase database looks like this

So I want to fetch it with curl:

curl 'https://smwtest-15295.firebaseio.com/WHAT_HERE?'

but I don't know what to put as request url params.

Your URIs have to end with .json, as shown in the documentation you refer to.

For example:

curl 'https://smwtest-15295.firebaseio.com/9099.json'

or

curl 'https://smwtest-15295.firebaseio.com/9099/address.json'

Then you can filter or order your data by adding query string parameters.

If you want to query the entire JSON tree, use:

curl 'https://smwtest-15295.firebaseio.com/.json'

More details in the REST API Reference.

thanks a lot, I'm a little bit surprised by that wierd "DOTjson" thing at the end

The .json suffix is used by Firebase to recognize REST requests. Without .json at the end of the URL, it would be interpreted as a request to the Firebase console. Give it a try by entering https://smwtest-15295.firebaseio.com/ into your browser, and you'll see the difference.
