android - Using mail and password to authenticate via the REST API [Firebase]

Question

I was wondering whether it is possible to actually authenticate to the Firebase REST API withouth using the custom authentication?

I've worked with Firebase now for some time and I'm currently thinking about migrating a backend of mine to Firebase. The app that uses the backend currently uses a REST API and does not need realtime data at all. Thus I'd like to use only the REST API and not the full Android framework on the clients.

Is it possible to get an auth token using the mail & password authentication of Firebase via HTTP-requests?

In the old docs I've only found a solution with custom login and in the new docs you seem to need a Google Service Account.

Any help or advice appreciated.
