Connection failed when using Firebase

[lukagrbec]

Hello,
I've been trying to create SMS alarm using Twilio, Firebase and Arduino IDE. Using sensors I am measuring the temperature. If the temperature is higher than a specified value (ESP reads that value from Firebase Realtime Database), a SMS should be sent using twilio. Later on I'll also be storing the measures in Firebase Realtime Database. The code worked well, until I tried to add the part where it also reads a value from Firebase Realtime Database. It even prints in serial that it is connecting to Twilio api, however, then it prints connecion failed and I never receive the message. The above mentioned error (connection failed) occurs only, when I add the part of the code that connects the ESP8266 to Firebase.

Here's my code:

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClientSecure.h>
#include <base64.h>
#include "OneWire.h"
#include "DallasTemperature.h"
#include <ArduinoJson.h>

using namespace std;

#include <iostream>

String from_number = "+*****";
String message_body    = "Hello from Twilio and the ESP8266!";

// Find the api.twilio.com SHA1 fingerprint using,
//  echo | openssl s_client -connect api.twilio.com:443 | openssl x509 -fingerprint

    } else if (isalnum(c)) {

      if ((c & 0xf) > 9) {

      }
      c = (c >> 4) & 0xf;
      code0 = c + '0';
      if (c > 9) {

Any help would be appreciated!
