I'm trying to build a game-app where:
the user will be able to login.
the user (if loged in) will be able to save his progress in the game.
-The stuff that should be saved is:
an avatar that the user has built
what questions the user has answered
how much coins the user has earned and has left.
I have read a few things about primararly SQL and Firebase. Is there a clear distinction between the two or any "rules" on how to chose database?
Thank you

Well, It totally depends where you want to store "Users Data".
If you want to store it on the mobile itself, then You should use persistent database which is SQLite.
If you do not want to store it on the mobile, but want to store it on a server then you should go for firebase(where your mobile game will require internet).
Generally, the way you have described your game, people go for SQLite.
Feel free to ask more questions if required.

I’m writing an app that has users belonging to specific teams. I need somewhere to store, access and modify data (such as username, password, teamID, and a few other details) from within Godot, preferably using GDScript
I’ve tried using things like Lootlocker but it wasn’t right for my project. I’ve also tried setting up a SQL database using freesqldatabase.com however I can’t work out how to run SQL queries from within Godot. If it helps, I am able to access my database using the phpMyAdmin website.
Please note this can’t be a local database as I need to be able to access the data from any device where the app is installed.
I really appreciate any information you think might be helpful, thanks.

UPDATE:
Let me clarify one thing, I want to rent the movie THE MATRIX via API so I can show it to the user. That is what I pretend?
need to look into UltraViolet or Locker Access Streaming Provider Role (LASP).
check out UltraViolet for Business,

to connect your service to UltraViolet or to Develop Services or components you need a licence.

You need to look at solutions called "paywall" or "pay-per-view" for the media server which you decide to pick up.
There was a site called Popcorn Time which is similar to Netflix in number of ways. They made their source code available for every one by making the project open source after attracting huge media attention.

I'm guessing this info is privileged since I couldn't find anything on Google's listed APIs. In fact I'd be amazed if it wasn't proprietary securely fastened Google magic, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Is there an Google API for the information appearing when you do a basic search for say an Actress or Rockband? You know the box that appears to the right of the results if google figures out exactly what you're looking for. (I'm specifically interested in musicians despite the example below)
I.e.
https://www.google.com/search?q=woody+allen
I can get similar milage using Freebase, but Google's is always better. For example, It'll even pull upcoming events if it's a Musician, etc.
The Freebase Topic API contains the bulk of what you're looking for.
e.g. https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/topic/en/woody_allen

I'm wondering if there is an API of some sort available from Apple for iCloud, to which one can hook into and get notified when contact information changes.
The point of this is that I'm wondering whether it is possible to sync contacts from iCloud outside of iCloud (e.g. from iCloud to some sync server and then to other devices).
Thanks!
Here's an implementation of what you are looking for.
Although there is a bug within it, when you have more than 500 contacts, it doesn't work.
I think there is a problem with pagination. If you find out what's wrong with it, do tell.

Does anybody know if autotrader.com offers an API or something that would help with mass postings of vehicles?
Or does anybody have any idea of what to use to create something like this? I was thinking of maybe a mouse location and click over a browser window type of thing.
AutoTrader provides a bulk upload feature through a file feed process. The file runs through a set of processes to associate it with the proper listing tier (Premium, Feature or Standard) and in addition normalizes the information across vehicle make and models. This process runs several times daily and is being migrated to a near real-time solution for quicker add or updates.
I can find no documentation on it but I've come across this link which seems to provide a json response.
