title: How to add an entry to firebase using requests module?
body: <p>I have a firebase database that holds a list of words, so has structure like this:</p>
  <pre><code>words_to_add
  --words
  ----0:'hello'
  ----1:'goodbye'
  </code></pre>
  <p>so basically its <code>{words: ['hello','goodbye']}</code>.
  I want to add to this dictionary so that its holds additional words.
  I have tried to use <code>requests.patch(&quot;Firebase_URL&quot;, data= '{&quot;words&quot;:&quot;[new_list_of_words]&quot;}'</code> and with <code>requests.put()</code> but they overwrite the contents of <code>words</code> to a string of the list which isn't what I want. How could I just add another entry to list?</p>
